Summary of Facility Usage Agreement Regarding Scheduling of Courts
The Arlington Tennis Complex was built as a joint project between the Arlington Community Schools and the Town of Arlington. Arlington Tennis Organization holds the facility usage agreement with the town to provide all official programming outside of school usage held at this facility. In the event of facility limitations, the following priority system will be utilized:
Arlington Community Schools (ACS) have first priority scheduling of all courts for school matches and practices during middle and high school seasons.
2. Official programming offered through Arlington Tennis Organization (ATO) has next priority scheduling with preference given in the following order: recreational youth programs, competitive youth programs, recreational adult programs, competitive adult programs, private lessons
3. Members of the community may walk up and utilize available courts on a first-come, first–serve basis for no charge. Check out the ACS and ATO schedules posted online on the homepage of Arlington-Tennis.com to ensure the best opportunity for open courts. Casual players may be bumped for ACS usage and ATO scheduled programs. However, ATO is committed to leaving ample unscheduled court time to encourage casual community play. When others are waiting, be courteous and restrict play to one hour. Report large unauthorized non-residential groups who monopolize court time while residents wait to the Arlington Department of Parks and Rec.
No lessons for profit are permitted outside of those offered by the insured staff of ATO.
