Club Policies

3 courts are available for random play with few exceptions.

Adults have priority Monday to Friday, 6pm - 11pm. Juniors are unable to book courts on the online booking system during these times. If a junior member wishes to play with an adult member during this time, the adult member will have to book the court online and add the junior member to the booking.

UTC is a community tennis club, and we welcome those in the community to come out and enjoy our courts. Public hours are back with new days and times:

1. Tuesdays 12pm - 4pm on courts 1-4

2. Saturday 6pm - 10pm on courts 1 & 2

Please note: public hours are not in effect early in the spring and late in the fall while the club has little or no monitoring.

Only designated teaching pros under contract with UTC are permitted to teach at UTC.

No guests are allowed at this time.

Hoppers/Ball Machine are only allowed in courts 8/9 with the divider, when there are no lessons and during non-prime hours.

Updated Booking Rules as of May 1st, 2025

a). Court booking is open 6 days in advance at 12pm. For example, you can book a court for the following Sunday, at 12pm the Monday before. During regular season we allow members to hold or be part of 3 active booking. This may be adjusted from time to time based on special circumstances and time of the season that may affect court availability.

b). Only members who have booked online will be permitted on the courts (outside of public hours and whiteboard booking hours). Singles & Doubles play only.

c). Court time is limited to 1 hour for singles and 2 hours for doubles. Four (4) members names are required for doubles bookings and at least two (2) members names are required for singles bookings. Members must vacate the court immediately after their booked time if others are waiting to play.

d). Court cancellations are required 12 hrs before the booked time. Reservations cancelled within 12 hours of the reserved court time and no-shows will incur a penalty. After 3 penalties, court booking privileges will be withheld for 7 days. During this penalty period, the member will not be able to book any courts on our booking system. Any special circumstances may be reported by email

to courtreserve@unionvilletennisclub.ca.

e). The UTC board reserves the right to issue penalties to members for any conduct that is considered misuse of the booking system.

f). Rain-out courts or wet courts do not need to be cancelled and will not result in any penalty. The court bookings will be cancelled during monitored hours as soon as the monitor sees that the courts are not playable. For light drizzle and intermittent rain, please call the clubhouse at (905) 470-7059 for further information. If there is no answer then monitor shift has been cancelled and no

penalty will be accessed. Clay court conditions are more difficult to determine playability. Red cones and signs indicate do not play. Even when no cones, members need to use their own judgement on playability.

g). The club reserves the right to move bookings to any other court or cancel the court if necessary to accommodate club programming. Members will be notified should this occur. This does not take place often and we do our best to provide other options and accommodate players if it does happen.
