| DO | Wear appropriate tennis clothing and tennis shoes. Inappropriate footwear can damage the courts. |

| | Brush the courts before play if they are dry. If possible, brush adjacent courts together to prevent the build-up of sand between the courts. Try to brush at 90° to the previous brushing. Brushing improves the longevity of the surface and provides a more even bounce. |

| | Wind down the nets slightly at the end of play to reduce the tension in the net cords. |

|---|
| | Smoke or chew gum on court due to the risk of damage to the courts. |
