Hand sanitizer or handwashing areas should be available at each court during practices or competitions. www.osaa.org
GENERAL COVID-19 CONSIDERATIONS- TENNIS Time between matches is critical for sanitation. If matches take place indoors, it is suggested that the facility is allowed enough time between matches to ensure the air is circulated appropriately and sanitation processes can take place for cleaning the equipment properly.

Consider spraying tennis balls briefly with a disinfectant spray at the conclusion of play. www.osaa.org
