There are two events – an open event, which will be held on the first weekend, and a junior event, which will be held on the second weekend. Whether you are playing or just spectating, this weekend is filled with fun, so don’t miss out – if you would like to either become a sponsor or enter this wonderful tournament please contact me at [email protected]

The State President, on Sunday evening, announced that South Africa will move to an adjusted level 4 lockdown from today, as the country struggles against the rising third wave of COVID-19 infections.

The government restrictions will remain in place for 14 days and will be assessed thereafter. They take effect immediately, and will run up to and including Sunday, 11th July.

Tennis SA urges the tennis community to continue to be careful, to always wear masks, except while playing, and to practice physical distancing.

PLAY YOUR PART

😷 Wear your mask everywhere, except while playing.
⬅️😷➡️ Keep a safe physical distance.
🤲 Sanitize or wash your hands regularly.
🤝 No shaking of hands or "high fives".
👩‍👩‍👦‍👦 Stay away from closed or crowded spaces.

Due to a surge of new Coronavirus infections, the State President has placed South Africa on adjusted alert level 2 from today (Monday). Below are the new COVID regulations and their impact on tennis;

1. New Curfew from 23h00 – 04h00 = all venues have to close by 22h00.
2. Gathering sizes = max. 250 outdoors or max. 50% of venue capacity if the venue is not big enough to accommodate 250.
3. The regulation remains in place that no spectators are allowed at tennis events.
4. However the +1 ‘as support staff for players’ at events is allowed for for the time being – however this is dependent on whether or not a specific host venue/facility (e.g. school or university venue) allows it.
5. Reminder that wearing of masks is mandatory and must be worn everywhere, except while playing.

Everybody is encouraged to avoid crowded places and ensure there is adequate ventilation, wear a mask and sanitise hands regularly.

On behalf of Irene tennis club a big shout out to GNTA Tennis Association chairman Clark Coetzee for his support over the last two decades. He saw the vision and assisted us to grow our club into one of the top clubs in South Africa and also assisted us host the Davis Cup for many years. We will be forever grateful Tennis South Africa

Organised tennis now possible for members. Use the web/app booking systems. Also great to see all our courts being used. Our Thursday squads are up and running again but are in high demand. Let Tammy put you on the group. First come first serve (lol)
