Things to do and bring under Covid guidelines
Due to covid we will have no written reg form this year but we would like everyone to text David 0878166525 to confirm you have read the following basic requirements
1. Please follow the general co-vid guidelines, and explain to your child/children the importance of washing and sanitising their hands, maintaining social distancing and maintain good hygiene procedures. We will have a hand sanitising station at the entrance/exit. Some children will bring their own sanitiser which is great ( if so please remind them to use it on entering and exiting )
2. We will finish the camp approx 5-10 minutes before home-time each day to allow for an orderly exit and to avoid congestion.
3. If parents are coming to view activities from the balcony area we kindly ask if you could wear a mask if possible. It's a small area and at times can have quite a few kids and parents watching. The Entrance will be closed until approx 15 minutes before the end of camp. If you are coming earlier than 15 minutes pls call David 0878166525 and he will arrange to open the main entrance door
4. We would greatly appreciate if you child could have a mask in their bag, in the event of an emergency, where they need to go into the clubhouse.
5. Please ask you child/children not to share equipment or food/drink containers
6. All boys and girls under the age of 14 years of age must remain inside the club grounds until their parent comes to collect them. If you would like your child to exit of their own accord pls ensure you have verbally or in writing via text that it is ok for them to do so.
7. If your child has any special requirements, dietary, health wise or other, please call David 0878166525 to discuss in advance of the camp.
8. Please ensure your child has a light packed lunch for a 15/20 minute break. We operate a healthy eating policy. Please no crisps or popcorn or fizzy drinks Please also ensure your child brings his or her own water bottle.
9. Regular sports attire. We have no rule in relation to wearing specific colours, e.g. whites etc. Rain jackets and caps are advised in inclement conditions. Sunglasses and suncream are essential for those sunny days!
10. It is necessary to have your own racquet. We have a few racquets of different sizes available for purchase. Please let David know in advance if you'd possibly like to purchase a racquet. David will be happy to assist on the size, weight and racquet type, aluminium, composite or graphite. Prices range from €30/€35 for a starter aluminium to €70 and upwards for a composite or graphite model.
11. The camp will operate in most weather conditions, but in the event where the weather is likely to be too inclement for play for the 3 hour period, the co-ordinators reserve the right to postpone and try to reschedule. As we have no access to the clubhouse ( except for the use of the toilets and for emergencies ) forward planning will be necessary. David will keep in contact with everyone with more exact weather forecasts closer to the time.
12. For the safety and protection of all members and guests the tennis club has a cctv Camera in operation overlooking the tennis courts from court 1. The Tennis club's covid officer will ensure that all safety protocols are being adhered to.
13. We would like to be able to take a group photo of the Summer Camp.
As this is our 100th year of tennis at Arklow lawn it is a special year. We have photos going back from the 1920s which are an amazing record for the club. If you would prefer that your child is not in any photos pls do let us know. Its not a problem.
14. Finally Pls avoid parking directly outside the club or on the terrace.. other than dropping or collecting your child off without entering the club yourself. There is a designated parking area a little further up the road. We are aware parking is limited so we will try to ensure home time is as orderly as possible.
15. Please don't forget Sunscreen and Sun glasses or Baseball caps on those Sunny days
For Any other queries please text or call David 0878166525
Other than that ,we wish everyone a great time at Tennis Camp !
