Main Rules to Note
- You MUST be a Member in order to play tennis in Carrigaline Tennis Club.
- Access to the club is by Electronic Key Fob only. This is included in the cost of a Family Membership.
- A non-member parent may buy a fob for their junior member (cost €10) once they sign a form accepting responsibility on behalf of that junior.
- Adult priority times are from 6pm to 10pm Monday to Thursday. ONLY Adult members can book courts during these times.
- Priority court bookings are charged for by the hour. Again, these times are 6 to 10pm Mon to Thursday. The charge is 2 euro and is split between the names on the booking. That person can only book/play on 3 courts in the peak time slots in any one week. Off peak times are free of charge – including Friday.
- If you need to cancel a booking, please do so as soon as possible to give others a chance to re-book the court. You are refunded one euro from any Priority booking charge once you cancel.
- Tokens for lights are €5 each and can be bought at Kilmoney stores. 1 token gives you 30 minutes on courts 1-4 and 60 minutes on Court 5. PLEASE NOTE that during this COVID period, members are not allowed to purchase tokens. Instead, when booking a court that requires lights you should add a guest called “lights” and this will deduct €5 in total (split between the names on the booking). The lights will be put on for you by a member of the committee.
- Members may only book one consecutive court during this time due to COVID restrictions.
