TIPS ON WATERING THE COURT:
- Aim the hose high at 90 – 110 degrees NOT straight down as it will create puddles
- Allow the water to shower down onto the court surface like rain to gently soak
- Water in the shape of an ‘S’ on both sides of the court (fence to fence)
- Team work with one person on the tap and one person watering will work well especially when it is time to finish watering the court without puddles.
TIPS ON BAGGING THE COURT:
- Encourage the members of your child’s team to bag the courts in a different direction each time bagging is completed (i.e. one time bag up and down the court, the next time bag side to side). This ensures that the en tout cas remains within the actual court.
- Ensure that the ENTIRE court is bagged right up to the fence and not just within the court itself.
- Additionally, once bagging has been completed, please encourage or assist the players to hang the bagger onto the hooks that are attached to the fence. This removes the chance of your child tripping over the bagger and hurting themselves during a match.
