Players are required to wear white tennis clothes at all times, color clothing is permitted in the bubble only. Men are required to wear collared shirts. Clothing with overall patterns or stripes across the body is not permitted. All head wear must be white. Color on logo, trim and piping is acceptable on clothing and head wear.

Colored soft court shoes are now acceptable at the Bronxville Field Club (clay court appropriate treads required)

When approaching the court for which you have signed up, do so by the gate closest to it; enter as unobtrusively as possible when play is not in progress so as not to disturb other players.

Only those playing tennis are permitted inside the fence. Do not allow young children to sit, even quietly, inside the fence.

Profane language and inappropriate behavior will not be tolerated.

While junior players are welcome to watch tennis matches being played on Court 1, they may be asked to leave if their behavior is not appropriate. Do not let young children play near or on the steps by Court 1.

Upon signing up for a tournament, do not cancel at the last minute unless absolutely unavoidable. Withdrawing from a tournament, once the draw has been completed, creates a hardship for all involved.

Do not sign up for a tournament which you cannot complete. If, because of unforeseeable circumstances, you know that you cannot advance in the tournament after you have started play, you should default to your opponent at match point, rather than defaulting to the team you are scheduled to play next. See Club Tournaments.

Summer Guests are encouraged to participate in all social tennis events. Championship tournaments are reserved for members only.

Children of members age 16 and older are permitted to play on adult teams, participate in league matches and attend team practices.
