We have two clay courts and a very active tennis program. For specific information about Adult Tennis and Jr. Tennis please visit the page for each of these programs.
For 2021 tennis is open for fully vaccinated players. In addition to the General rules (see below) all players are required to abide by additional COVID rules for the 2021 season:
BHYC Tennis COVID-19 Prevention Protocols for Players
Stay home and get well if you are symptomatic of the coronavirus in any way. Masking for tennis players will be optional, both on and off the court, at member’s discretion. Vaccinated members will not be required to wear masks while outdoors. The junior tennis program (JTP) does recommend that, in fairness to children who want or need to remain masked, junior tennis clinic participants wear masks in solidarity.
