Kaleen District Tennis Club

Dear Players,

We hope you are all safe and well.

Please see below an update regarding the Adult Spring League Competitions for 2021.

Adult Spring League 2021

Due to the recent announcement made by the ACT Government in regards to the extension of the ACT lockdown until Friday 15 October, all Adult Spring League competitions remain postponed. We are currently working on what this means for all Adult Spring League competitions and we will advise you shortly with updates.

Please note this is an evolving situation and we appreciate your patience and flexibility, we look forward seeing everyone back on court when it is safe to do so.

We thank you for your understanding during this time.

Kind regards,

Tennis ACT Competitions Team

Casual court hire is back tomorrow!



We are very excited and we can’t wait to hit the courts!



Please note, that we are very fortunate to be able to return to tennis. To enable tennis to stay open, please ensure the following:



You MUST scan the QR Code and use the Check In CBR app when you enter the club. This is critical and we can’t be clearer around this message.All participants will be required to wear a mask at all times at the club. There is no need to wear a mask while playing if your activity is vigorous, however it must be put on immediately after play. Adhere to the 4 people per court rule, do not mix with others and no spectators.Please book online at play.tennis.com.au and enter the details of those you are playing with.Please review and adhere to the Covid Community Guidelines before you enter the club.

As you may be aware, the Chief Minister announced on Tuesday that changes to ACT's Public Health Orders would allow recreational tennis to recommence, subject to compliance with ongoing restrictions including social distancing (as detailed in the Public Health Orders). The changes specifically exclude coaching, training or competition activity.

Since Tuesday, your Committee has been seeking advice as to how to proceed with the safe reopening of the Kaleen courts. It is apparent that the Chief Minister's announcement did not envisage a return to normal activity at the courts. There will be limitations and these will be notified on signs at the courts and on our online booking page. The Club has no alternative but to enforce those limitations.

On that basis, the Club will reopen this Saturday - daytime and night bookings can be made online. Please note (whether you have already made a booking or plan to do so):

- compliance with advertised limitations will be strictly enforced;

- all users must check in on the CBR check-in app displayed at the Club;

- names of ALL players must be listed on the booking sheet by clicking on the relevant link at time of booking. (The link is evident but if you can't find it, contact us and we will assist you);

- the clubhouse will remain closed. This means no access to kitchen and toilet facilities. Please bring your own water and, if the lack of toilet facilities could be a challenge, perhaps consider restricting your booking time to, say, one hour;

- no spectators are allowed on the courts which will be restricted to a maximum of 4 players on each court; and

- all players are to vacate the courts immediately on completion of their booking.

In addition, all court users will be asked to acknowlege the following at time of booking:

"You acknowledge that by using the tennis courts and playing tennis you will be exposed to certain risks, including the risk of physical injury. You may also be exposed to the possibility of contracting an illness, including without limitation Covid-19. Covid-19 can spread very quickly and result in serious medical complications in some people. You agree that the use of the tennis courts is at your own risk. You have read and understood this risk warning and voluntarily accept and assume the inherent risks in use/playing on the tennis courts. Guidelines have been developed to reduce the likelihood of contracting the virus while playing tennis. Before playing please review the guidelines which are available here: https://www.tennis.com.au/act/ and consider your individual situation, noting that Covid-19 can spread quickly and result in very serious medical complications in some people. Access to the Venue is provided on the basis that while at the venue you will adhere to the Guidelines."

Your committee will do all it can to ensure a safe return to tennis in these challenging times but we are depending very much on you, as the court users, to comply with all restrictions. If we can all do our part, we should be able to get back to a sport we enjoy. However, it goes without saying that the Government will be monitoring the situation - we can't afford to slip up!

Don't hesitate to get back to us at [email protected] if you have any queries.

Kind regards and stay safe



Your Committee
