RESERVATIONS

Posted by Marge.

TENNIS COURT RESERVATIONS

The following GVR reservation “rules” have been developed over several seasons of play and are meant to provide the fairest availability of court time during periods of high demand for play:

Courts at West, Desert Hills, Las Campanas, Madera Vista and Canoa Hills Recreation Centers may be reserved by any GVR member for play Monday through Saturday at 7:30 AM, 9:00 AM, or 10:30 AM. All other courts and times are either “open” or reserved for leagues or other scheduled use. (See court schedule.) A GVR member may reserve one of these morning court time slots in his/her name during any seven-day period, provided that he/she plans to play at that time. You cannot reserve time for play in which you do not expect to participate. Only one future (active) reservation per member per week at a time is permitted.

Volunteer Tennis Club monitors are on duty at the West Center tennis Ramada Mon-Sat. between 12:35 and 1:00 PM. Call 625-3724 or go to the Ramada 10 minutes before this time to reserve a court for any morning time slot during the coming week. Telephone callers and walk-ins alternate turns at making their reservations. To reserve a court less than 7 days out a member can call or go to the reservation office no earlier than 12:15.

The reservation “boards” inside the West tennis Ramada show all morning reservations for the current seven-day period, and may be consulted at any time during the week to determine court availability at these five centers.

PLAY ON AN UNRESERVED COURT

The court side sign-in sheets for any day will show all reservations that exist for that day at that site. Open time slots are available on first-come-first-served basis, and may be taken no earlier than 10 minutes before the scheduled time slot. All players must be in attendance to hold the court. If more than one group is ready to sign in for an open slot at that time, a racquet spin or coin flip should be used to determine which group signs in and uses that 1 and ½ hour slot.

WINTER RESERVATIONS, OCTOBER-MAY

Call the Tennis Hut (625-3724) any day, except Sunday, between 12:15 PM and 1:00 PM to reserve a court time slot within the following week.

SUMMER RESERVATIONS, JUNE-SEPTEMBER

Monitors will be on duty Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 12:15 PM to take reservations for two mornings at a time.

Monday monitors will take reservations for the following Saturday and Monday. Wednesday monitors will take reservations for the following Tuesday and Wednesday. Friday monitors will accept reservations for the following Thursday and Friday.The same rules apply for summer reservations. To reserve a Saturday court a member can call on Monday at 12:35 p.m. or go to the reservation office at 12:33 p.m., Tuesday times can be made on Wednesday at 12:35 p.m., and Thursday can be made on Friday at 12:35 p.m.
