Willison Park prides itself on having a minimum number rules in the running of the club but it does have the following expectations for competition players:
- Support from parents in the junior sections.
- Members picked in teams must make every effort to be reliable and supportive.
- Court conversion to clay means correct footwear is essential. See below.
- All members should wear acceptable tennis attire when playing competition.
- Be aware of the rules of the competition you are playing in (eg starting times).
Tennis shoes should be non-marking and have a flat sole. Cross-trainers
and heeled shoes are not appropriate and damage the courts. Also, note that some shoes marketed as tennis
shoes may be designed for hard-courts and may not be suitable for the clay courts at WPTC.
