Nelson Bays Tennis Association

UPDATE: 13 May 2020

At Alert Level 2, tennis can reopen in a way that we are all a bit more familiar with.  However, there are firm measures in place from Government to ensure the health and safety of those within and outside the tennis community.  It will take some time before sport and life returns to normal, so it is important that we all play our part to minimise the risk of further outbreaks of Covid-19 in New Zealand.

Full Alert Level 2 Guidelines HERE

Last week, Sport NZ shared detailed guidelines on safe practices for the sport and recreation sector.  It is our job to help the tennis community understand and translate those guidelines in to a tennis context.  

The most important principle is to ‘play it safe’.  To contact trace, and to remain physically distant from others. The health, safety and wellbeing of the whole community is of paramount importance.
