LTA Statement on Indoor Tennis Court and Clubhouse usage.

After contacting The LTA regarding “When Indoor Tennis and use of The Clubhouse may be possible again”, I received the following reply, which seems to suggest it will be reviewed no earlier than Thursday 4th July ( with possibility of reopening on Monday 6th July ) - but certainly not before.
 
Although we may believe we can make indoor tennis safe, until the next update we will have to keep to the current guidelines until at least the next update.
 
 
Dear John,
 
Subject: (CASE-1297348) - LTA Covid 19 Update - Advice.

Thank you for getting in touch.

We are not anticipating any changes regarding the current government regulations on indoor sporting venues/ leisure centres/ gyms etc. until 04 July at the earliest.

These would fall under a separate category to shops within the government regulations due to nature of the activity and hygiene considerations.

See https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-guidance-on-phased-return-of-sport-and-recreation and see the lists of businesses that can re-open from today and those that must remained closed for now https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/further-businesses-and-premises-to-close/further-businesses-and-premises-to-close-guidance

We will provide detailed guidelines on our website once it is confirmed when indoor tennis courts can re-open.

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,


LTA Services Team Manager
