Tennis Court Rules

The Tennis Court Rules provide guidance for the fair and cooperative use of the courts. All members should follow these rules when reserving and playing on the tennis court. As stated in the Trilogy Association Rules, proper tennis clothing and etiquette are required on the courts at all times. Trilogy residents are responsible for the actions of their guests including compliance with the Tennis Court Rules. Please review and follow the current tennis court rules below when playing.

Trilogy at Vistancia Tennis Court Rules

Effective 5/15/2023

Introduction

These tennis club rules govern the use of tennis court 1-6 and replace the document “Rules and General Information” dated December 1, 2020.

Reservations

Trilogy tennis courts are a community shared asset and may be used for tennis play by all Trilogy residents and their approved guests. The website RMC2020 (www.reservemycourt.com) is used to reserve Trilogy tennis courts in compliance with the court rules. For instructions on the use of RMC2020, please see the separate Reserve My Court User Guide available on the Tennis Club website at (www.TrilogyTennisClub.com) and the Kiva Club courts’ kiosk; or ask for assistance from the Kiva Club, Mita Club and Alvea Spa Front Desks.

Cancelling a Court

If you are unable to use a tennis court you reserved, out of courtesy to other players, please cancel your reservation as soon as possible using the RMC2020 website. If an individual or group has reserved a court and the individual or group is more than ten minutes late in using the court, the court will be considered forfeited and available for open play.

Court Reservation Rules

1. An individual may reserve one or more courts for open tennis play up to 7-days in advance. Open tennis play is defined as any non-Tennis Club sanctioned court reservation. The court reservation system, RMC-2020, allows court reservations to be placed starting at 6:00 a.m. local time 7-days prior to the desired day of play.

2. Players are required to temporarily vacate Kiva tennis courts 1-4 to allow for completion of scheduled court blowing maintenance as shown in Table-1. 

3. Additional restrictions apply during Prime Time.

Prime Time Hours Reservation Rules

Prime Time Hours begin on October 1 and run through March 31 from 7:30 a.m. until 10:30 a.m. each day.  To ensure fair scheduling of the tennis courts during this high demand period, the following additional scheduling restrictions apply.

1. An individual may reserve a tennis court for a maximum of 2 consecutive hours during prime time hours.

2. An individual may reserve a maximum of three individual courts per week and one reservation per day during prime time hours.

3. An individual reserving a court in prime time hours must be one of the players on the reserved court, e.g., You May Not Reserve A Court For Someone Else. 

4. Tennis Courts 5 and 6 are prioritized for “open play” during prime time hours. Club organized play may reserve courts 5 and 6 only when at least two courts are concurrently available during prime time hours for “open play” at the Kiva location.

Priority for Court Scheduling

Tennis Club sanctioned activities are given priority over individual member and non-member tennis court reservations. Tennis Club sanctioned activities may be scheduled in advance. Court reservation priority is as follows:  

1. West Valley League Men’s and Women’s and U.S.T.A. League home matches may reserve courts 2, 3 and 4 during non-prime time hours. 

2. Club socials and club tournaments may reserve courts in prime time hours and non-prime time hours as needed.  

3. Organized Tennis Club play (Women’s, Men’s, and Mixed Doubles RR) may reserve up to 3 courts in prime time hours and non-prime time hours as needed.  

4. Lessons and Clinics may reserve courts in prime time hours and non-prime time hours as needed. Note: Court 1 is generally used for these activities. 

5. WVL Men’s and Women’s and U.S.T.A. League practice sessions may reserve up to three courts during non-prime time hours. 

6. Tennis Club members and non-members may schedule open play in accordance with the Court Reservation Rules and Prime Time Hours Reservation Rules.

7. Walk on tennis play, i.e. no court reservation. Note: walk-on play must forfeit their court to players with a reservation made on RMC2020.

Court Morning Start Times and Use Restrictions
