Caring for our courts

To care for our en tout cas courts please water the surface before you start play especially in the summer months.

The court surface can absorb large amounts of water and should be kept moist, which will ensure the best playing conditions.  Then water the courts as necessary during play, and bag from fence to fence after you finish playing.  This will ensure you experience the best playing conditions and help maintain the porous surface.

To avoid damage to the courts it’s important that you wear the correct type of tennis shoe.  Shoes that are suitable for hard surfaces, synthetic grass and synthetic clay may not be suitable for porous courts.

Suitable Footwear

• Shoe soles must not have a raised pattern of any kind.
• Soles must be flat (no raised heel) with soft edges.
• Herringbone pattern is the best sole to provide good grip on porous courts.
