Supervision

  • On-site supervision is recommended during set-up of equipment and initial instruction.
  • Proximity supervision is recommended following initial skill instruction and after all safety concerns have been emphasized.

 

Instructional Considerations

  • Positioning and movement should be taught for singles and doubles.
  • Code of etiquette for court play should be taught and enforced, e.g., not entering a court being used.
  • When teaching skills, there should be adequate spacing for each student to make a free and uninterrupted swing.
  • Benefits of protective eye gear should be communicated to students and highly recommended.
  • No spectators should be allowed on the court.
  • Court surfaces should be free of obstructions, e.g., balls not in use, water bottles, towels, and apparel not being worn.

 

Equipment/Facilities

  • Racquets should have a good grip and be in safe playing condition.
  • Court boundary lines should be clearly defined.
  • A safety procedure should be established for side-by-side courts.
