Park Tennis Rules (approved 4/17/2006)
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Note: The used of
Rivermoore Park or RP implies that the
resident is in Good Standing. Residents who have not paid their yearly
dues are not entitled to use any amenities within Rivermoore Park.
- Why did the Board request the Tennis
Committee develop rules in the first place?
Just as rules had been developed and approved for the use of the Pool,
the Board of Directs requested that the Tennis Committee create two
documents -- Tennis Rules and Tennis Committee Roles and Responsibilities to
help govern tennis within Rivermoore Park. The rules submitted by the
Tennis Committee, after a few changes by the board, were approved in
February and re-approved in April, in
support of the Covenants and "To
assure maximum enjoyment and utilization of the Rivermoore Park Tennis
Facility by all Members* (Residents) and their guests..." (as
quoted from the first line of the Tennis Rules
document".
-
Why is it beneficial for our
neighborhood to have rules?
Having rules to govern our
amenities, both swim and tennis, help us to provide a safe environment and
ensures that all residents are treated in a equable manner while enjoying
these facilities. Although rules do not guarantee fun, it paves the
way.
- Is the
Board trying to disband established Tennis teams?
NO!!! The Board wants to encourage all teams to play
and more importantly, all residents to play on tennis teams.
Tennis within Rivermoore is funded by the residents and would not exist
without our residents paying annual homeowners dues. Rivermoore
tennis teams should be required to have a minimum number of Rivermoore Park
residents, giving residents the priority over non-resident membership & play.
-
Explain the Minimum
Resident Requirement for forming a team?
Because RP is built out, the pool of
available tennis players has increased within our community. Each team
should have a minimum number of Rivermoore Park residents on
the team in order for it to be a Rivermoore Park team.
To clarify ... Following
the various tennis team
league rules for ALTA, USTA, T-2, K-Swiss, or any league not named, for
team roster requirements (as stated in the general rules/regulations of each
league,) any Rivermoore Park team seeking approval for league play must
have a minimum number of residents on the roster equal to 50% of league
requirement as a minimum. (As an example, if ALTA requires 12 players to
form a team, there must be 6 RP residents on the roster. If the same team
has 17 players on the roster, only 6 RP residents, following the 50% minimum
requirement, must be on the roster). This requirement becomes effective
January 1, 2007 for all teams. The Tennis Committee will review the return
of each team, each season.
If a RP team has fewer than the
minimum, they must make every effort possible to promote their team within
RP, advertising for players on bulletin boards, the website, etc. and
encouraging potential players to move up to the higher level of play.
If a team has made every effort possible, exceptions will be considered.
-
Why must we collect $25 from
Non-Residents who help form our teams?
Because all residents
pay yearly (or annual) homeowner dues, requiring a nominal fee for
non-residents to use our beautiful facilities is not too much to ask.
This fee is used to
assist with the maintenance and upkeep of the facilities that they
(non-residents) use such as wear and tear on courts, bathroom facilities,
etc.
-
I wanted to be
on a team but was told there was no room for me...
Rivermoore Park residents,
requesting to be on a league team, are to be placed on the roster in
preference to any non-resident. Each team must make a good faith effort to
locate players who reside in the neighborhood prior to adding a non-resident
to their roster. If the resident is denied, that resident should contact
the Tennis Committee for resolution. If not resolved, the resident is
encouraged to contact the Board.
- Why can only 8 teams be formed for a
league season when there are 10 courts available?
To be fair to all residents, two
courts(9 and 10) are reserved for resident use at all times.
This provides two courts for residents to play on when leagues are using the
other courts.
