Court Allocation

HLTC COURT ALLOCATION SCHEDULE - SEPT.2008
         
The Club aims to have all 6 courts occupied as often as possible. To achieve this it is vital to keep a fair balance between members' playing rights and the longer-term need to have a vigorous coaching programme.  The following schedule sets out the current court allocation - it will change over time. Members are asked to adopt a co-operative, patient and well-mannered approach to court allocation. Please take any substantive issues up with Committee members.

Unused courts - If there are unused courts during allocated periods they may be used for general play provided due consideration is given, especially during matches.
Priority courts -The front three courts are regarded as the higher priority courts. The back courts will be used for coaching when all the front courts are allocated or subject to general play.
Matches - there will be days when more courts will be required for Club matches. For information on these dates please refer to the website or the notice board.
Holiday Coaching Camps - Holiday coaching camps will be organised which may change the above schedule for short periods. Such alterations will be approved by the Committee and publicised widely to the membership in advance.  Public courts may be hired by the Club in these periods of peak demand.
Tournaments - Club and LTA tournament matches have priority except over Club matches & coaching. Specific details of tournaments will be publicised in advance.
Floodlit Fridays- Floodlit Fridays are normally held on the last Friday of the summer and autumn months and will take precedence over Junior Club Night.  Please refer to the notice-boards.
