No Trash Talking

No Throwing Racquets

Call Good Lines

Follow Proceedures!!!! Get to your designated court quickly or you will run. Get a hopper for your group or you will run. Start working on your serve until Mr. Neeley or Coach Guiterrez gives you further instructions or you will run. Always dress out or you will run!!! Only Tennis shoes are allowed on the B.L. Gray Courts. If you can’t play because of injury, please bring a note and dress out; always dress out. Never give you locker combination to anyone. Lock your lockers before you come to the courts Do not share a locker. Do not leave your tennis racquets or other valuables unattended.

Follow Proceedures!!!! Do not be the last the person on the court or you will run!!! Do not play with tennis balls while you are at the post. If you do you will run Do not walk across a court if they are in the middle of a point. If you do, you will run. If you take lessons, have your coach concentrate on you serve When you pick up balls, remember to do it as fast as you can or you will run. Do not complain about who you are playing with. Sometimes you will play good players, sometimes bad players, sometimes average players, and sometimes if your lucky, even legendary players like Mr. Neeley. Do not boo other players or applaud when they make a mistake.

A Taste of B.L. Gray!!!!
