Saturday, March 6th, we are expanding our operating hours for St. Johns Racquet Center.We are happy to have had such a great first weekend getting our community back on the tennis courts here at SJRC. Thank you to everyone who reserved a court and contributed to a safe reopening. We are thrilled to make additional court time available to our SJRC family!Beginning March 6th and 7th our extended hours for court reservations will be 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM! We will still be open only on Saturdays and Sundays as we move forward and will continue to be cautious with our schedule. These are experimental hours and are not indicative of any permanent schedule changes for the facility. Although our hours are expanding, our COVID-safe practices have not changed:We now have a thermal temperature scanner, courtesy of Pacific Office Automation, that checks every person's temperature who walks through our front door. We do this to avoid any accidental spread of the virus while you're having fun out on the courts. We also have two industrial Air Scrubbers placed between Courts 1 and 2 and between Courts 2 and 3. Our coaches and community members have played on the courts while reopening and attest that they do not interfere with play in any way!Our Health and Safety Protocols require us to keep socializing in the lobby to a minimum. This means that you must check-in for your court and head directly to the reserved location. At the end of your court time, you must leave via doors behind Court 1 or Court 3.Bathrooms will be available to the public, but our lockers and showers will not be open for use. FAQsDo you keep data on people's temperature as they enter the facility?No! Our temperature scanner is not modified to log information in any way. It only scans to check temperatures as people stand in front of it. There is no way for St. Johns Racquet Center, or any third party, to track those who have stood in front of the temperature scanner.Are face masks required for play?Yes! Face masks are required for indoor athletic activities, as stated in the State's COVID-19 guidelines.Can I reserve a court for pickleball?Yes! You can reserve courts through our tennisbooking website. When you press the "Book" button to reserve your court, a window will pop up to verify your reservation. In this window, select the "Pickleball Net" option, and you are good to go!Can I rent pickleball paddles and balls?Yes! You can rent pickleball paddles for $2 per paddle, per court time. You also receive one free rented pickleball per court used.For further questions regarding our facility reopening, please email tennis@ptande.org.
