The Board has put together a Quick Reference Guide of the rules & regulations that are most asked about from the OHSAA Tennis Manual.  It is two (2) pages in length and all you have to do is print it out (back to back) and if you like laminate it and put it in your tennis binder or bag so if you need a rule clarification during a match you can pull it out quickly and find it.  Now not all rules are on there from the manual.  If not listed on the quick reference guide than refer to the manual or call a rules interpreter.

1. Tennis plays CAN play in a bracketed tournament with participants from several other schools involved (i.e. the U.S. Open). This is what the health department is considering as “one event or one contest.”
2. They CANNOT play a dual match against more than one school in one day, whether it was scheduled as a “round robin” tournament event with, say, three schools or four schools, or not. If this were permitted, then we would allow volleyball to continue to play tri and quad matches on the same day, and we are not.

The OTCA has put together a list of SUGGESTIONS that might help you conduct practices during this tennis season.  Please remember these are just suggestions, your guidelines will come from your school district, OHSAA, and or Ohio Government.
