TENNIS TEAMS

1. The captain of all league teams must be a Byrnwyck member.  The team captain is the representative of our Byrnwyck facility and has the responsibility of ensuring that all team members as well as guests follow the rules of the League and our Club.
2. Effective 3/1/2020, any existing team registered to play league tennis may include up to 5 non-members on a team roster.  These 5 non-members are grandfathered in until such time as they leave the team.  They are NOT to be replaced with another non-member.  The goal is to eventually have all member tennis teams which will offer the most benefit to our paid membership.

5. The Captain of each team should submit the intended roster to BCA for approval prior to signing up the team with ALTA or USTA and must collect all non-member fees for the season prior to any team practice held on the courts.  The practice times and home match schedules will be reserved for registered teams by BCA after non-member fees have been submitted to the BCA.
6. If there is a rain-out of a home match, early play of league matches, or any other variance from the league assigned schedule, please schedule make-up matches for your team through BCA.  If courts are available, BCA will schedule as requested.
