The Tennis Center is an amenity of the Pelican Landing Community Association.  It accommodates the Director of Tennis, a USPTA certified professional, his assistant, staff, a registration desk, and a pro shop.  Twelve state-of-the-art tennis courts are available to residents and their guests seven days a week.  The Tennis Center is managed by a highly experienced tennis professional who organizes club events such as tournaments, resident tennis socials, and league play.  A full compliment of lesson programs are available.

A complete set of rules govern the use of the courts and the Tennis Center.  All rules and policies of the Pelican Landing Tennis Center are established to ensure fairness and level competition among all teams.  Pelican Landing rules do not supersede those of the league in which Pelican Landing participates.  The guidelines are the only policies under which Pelican Landing teams operate.  They may be amended from year to year once the league season is over.  These rules are enforced by the Association staff.  Each resident is encouraged to become familiar with these rules and to follow them when using the this facility.

Tennis Play Procedures
Prior to entering the court area, all players must register at the Tennis Center by signing their name and presenting a valid PLCA photo ID card.  Reservations for play may be made by telephone or in person up to three days in advance.  Priority is given to those appearing in person, if requests are made simultaneously.  Reservations are for one-and-a-half hour increments and are pre-set beginning at 8:00 am.  Back-to-back court reservations are not permitted.  Residents are permitted to reserve no more than two courts at a time.  The person reserving the court(s) should state the names of all players in the group.  If an individual reserving a court is unable to utilize it at the designated time, the reservation should be cancelled as early as possible beforehand.  All tennis practices (matches) are to be scheduled with the Tennis Director.  Proper tennis attire and tennis shoes are required for play.  No smoking or pets are allowed in the court area.

Court Maintenance
Courts may be closed during maintenance periods set by the Tennis Director.  Maintenance periods generally are scheduled between the hours of 11:00 am and 3:00 pm.  Courts are swept before 8:00 am each morning and between noon and 2:00 pm each day.  Courts are not to be used when nets are lowered or a closed sign is posted.  These times occur when the courts are wet.  Any play under these conditions may result in serious damage to the courts or physical injury to the players.  Only the Tennis Director or, in his absence, a member of the Tennis Center staff may authorize reopening of the courts.

TENNIS LESSONS
Group or private lessons are available Monday through Saturday.  Check the Tennis Center for dates, times, and fees.  No one other than the Tennis Director or his designee shall give lessons for compensation.
