New Tennis Rules June 17th – Doubles Will Be Allowed
Per the State of Connecticut’s sector guidelines for sports, tennis is considered a moderate risk activity. Beginning on June 17th, moderate risk activities like tennis can start
- Individual and group training,
- Controlled practices,
- Scrimmages, games, meets, matches, etc.

Because tennis does not require any direct person-to-person contact, players can enjoy the many physical and mental benefits that tennis offers, provided that social distancing and hygiene recommendations are followed. The United States Tennis Association notes that although there is no specific evidence that tennis balls can spread COVID-19, contamination by respiratory droplets from an infected person can potentially survive on hard surfaces up to three days. If you choose to play tennis, consider these USTA safety tips and recommendations for players to play as safely as possible.
