Tennis Section Rules

All members and their guests must play within the rules and respect these guidelines drawn up by the Tennis Committee:

Code of Conduct

We are fully committed to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all our members and visitors. We believe that it is important that members, visitors, coaches, administrators and parents/guardians associated with the Club should, at all times, show respect and understanding for the safety and welfare of others. Therefore, members are encouraged to always be open and to share any concerns or complaints that they may have about any aspect of the club with any member of the Tennis Committee.

To ensure that members and visitors can experience a safe, welcoming and friendly environment, the following standards and behaviour guidelines that are expected of everyone associated with the Club and should be followed at all times by anyone using the Club’s facilities.

Respect and Behaviour
All members and officials must show tolerance, courtesy, good manners, fairness, honesty, respect and integrity in their dealings with other members, coaches, parents/guardians, playing and social visitors. Members must respect officials and accept their decisions.

Equality
The Club is opposed to discrimination in any form. All members have a responsibility to make everyone feel welcome and to ensure that membership of the Club is a positive experience. Members are entitled to be treated with respect and to feel safe whilst at the Club, and should therefore report any inappropriate behaviour or concerns to the Welfare Officer, or if they are not available to the Tennis Captain.

Safety and Responsibility
Members must behave responsibly and look to protect and ensure the safety of everyone at the Club at all times and particularly to consider the wellbeing and care of Mini/Junior members and visitors. All equipment and Club property should be treated with respect.

Fair Play
Members must respect the rules of tennis, play fairly and honestly, and address disputes with dignity and appropriate language. Be a fair winner and good loser!

Club Reputation
All members should endeavour to protect and further the Club’s good reputation at all times. Representing the Club at matches or at tournaments is a privilege; any member so entrusted is an ambassador for the Club and their behaviour must always be beyond reproach.

There are additional Codes of Conduct specific to Minis/Juniors, Parents/Guardians, Coaches and the Tennis Committee.

Safeguarding

At Clarkston we aim to provide a safe and inclusive environment for everyone to enjoy playing tennis. We acknowledge the duty of care to safeguard and promote the welfare of children and adults at risk and are committed to ensuring safeguarding practice reflects statutory responsibilities, government guidance and complies with best practice and LTA requirements. We have a Welfare Officer, Sandra Leitch, who is the first point of contact if there are any concerns.

The following safeguarding policies, procedures and codes of conduct are in place.
