The use of drugs or other illegal substances is also forbidden and any player who appears to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol will be stopped from playing. At Sportcity smoking is not permitted anywhere in the building.
- Northern Aces reserves the right to require members to leave a tennis session or event early and to cancel membership for serious breach of the above conditions or for anti-social behaviour that has a detrimental effect upon the event or benefit gained from those attending. In the unlikely event that a player is required to leave a tennis session/event early, they will not be eligible for a refund.
- All players should respect the specific regulations of the tennis venue and be aware of health and safety requirements. For this reason personal belongings should not be left on court during play.All members should ensure that they are appropriately attired. A Sportcity requirement for use of their courts is that appropriate sports footwear (either trainers or tennis shoes – no black soles) and clothing is worn. Appropriate attire is also a basic courtesy to other players and particularly important when representing the Group in other competitions and tournaments.
