1.1 Every resident reserving a court is responsible for cleaning the court of their items and leaving it in acceptable condition following use.

RULE 2: Reserving and playing on Providence Lake courts
2.1 Courts are for use by Providence Lake residents (in good standing with PLHA) and their guests only.

2.3 Team League matches such as ALTA and or USTA, which require the use of two courts, supersede all other reservations. To avoid conflicts, team league captains should set their reservations at the beginning of each season when schedule is received. If you are playing a regulation match and need more time to complete the match, the reservation following your match must wait for your completion.
2.4 Individual type League match such as T-2, Ultimate, etc., involving the use of only one court, may only have 1 court reserved for their individual matches.
