Ball Machine Court Reservations
1. The Tennis Club ball machine is permanently housed at Las Campanas and is used on Court # 2.
2. Members wanting to use the machine are allowed to reserve it and Court #2, up to one week in advance by signing up on the ball machine reservation form on a clip board at Las Campanas tennis/racquet ball ramada. This rule is the same as that used in our current Tennis Court Reservation System. Only one future (active) reservation per member per week at a time is allowed.
3. There is no sign up at West Center. The ball machine can be used at Las Campanas on Court # 2 at the following times: 12:00 P.M. to 6:00 P.M. Monday – Saturday provided the courts have not been reserved by the monitor at the West Center and 6.00 A.M. to 6.00 P.M. on Sunday.
4. A ball machine user must sign in with their start time on the regular GVR sign-in sheet for Court #2, regardless if they have made advanced reservations.
5. Advanced reservations for the machine shall be by the hour, on the hour, for one hour increments.
6. Members using the ball machine have priority use of LC Court #2 if they either have signed up in advance, as above, or signed in on Court #2 no sooner than 10 minutes before the hour and before a competing group is signed in and fully assembled. If the competing group arrives at the same time as the ball machine user, with no reservations, the spin of a racquet will decide who gets the court.
7. A ball machine reservation for court #2 is considered forfeited if not in use by 10 minutes after the reservation start time.
8. Other players/groups wishing to use LC Court #2 during the Ball Machine hours as stated above must check the advance registration form for the ball machine to assure Court #2 is available. If there are no advance conflicting reservations for the ball machine, and a group starts play, they are allowed the full 1 ½ court time allowed for regular tennis.
It is recommended that at least two ball machine members use the ball machine at the same time. One or two members hitting the balls and the other member picking up balls and attending to the machine. In this way, maximum use of the ball machine can be obtained.
