Club Description

The Arrowsmith Tennis Club is a Vancouver Island community club whose members come from the Oceanside area - Nanoose Bay, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Bowser - and beyond. The membership consists of all age groups including juniors (see under Juniors), but is weighted towards the retirement age. Court conditions permitting, play takes place all twelve months of the year. Of course, the weather often puts a damper (quite literally) on things in the winter, but depending on the year there are often quite a few days when the weather is good enough for outdoor tennis even in January. (The picture above on the right was taken in early January 2017 at 2 deg, the one on the left in early April 2017.)

The Club is fortunate in being able to use five of the six excellent community courts behind the Springwood School in Parksville and two of the three scenically situated courts on Veterans Way in Qualicum Beach. The times at which the Club has courts reserved in both Parksville and Qualicum Beach are listed under the Schedule tab. Play at these times is on a drop-in basis and tends to be doubles. In the evening, play is either singles or doubles.

During the summer season, in addition to the daily drop-in tennis, the Club organizes a number of social events and tournaments for singles, doubles, and mixed doubles.

Winter Schedule

November 1 - March 31

Qualicum Beach Courts

Veterans Way, Qualicum Beach

Monday, Wednesday, Friday: Courts 1 and 2, 9:00 am - noon, pre-aranged games.

Springwood Courts

behind (to the west of) Springwood School, 450 Despard Ave., Parksville

Courts 2 to 6 are reserved as follows.

Monday through Sunday, 1 pm - 4 pm: Open play. There is a court change every 40 min, players can drop in at these times. If there are an extra one or two players at the 40-min points, they should be folded in at these times. If there are three extra players, they will play Australian doubles. However, in the second 40-min segment, the three extra players will move up one court while three other players will play Australian.

Sign-up. It is not necessary to sign up to reserve a place during the winter. All comers, whether signed up or not, will be able to play. However, you are encouraged to sign up for any given day to let others know who is coming on that day. Also, players who do sign up will have priority on the courts for which they are signed up. Players who did not sign up will use the remaining spaces. Note: If court cleaning is necessary, players who have done the cleaning have priority in filling court positions over others who are signed up.

To sign up (or cancel), click HERE.

If you sign up, you must be at the courts punctually at 1:00 pm to be able to claim the spot for which you have signed up. If you are signed up but decide not to come, please cancel so that others are not given misleading information. It is possible to sign up or cancel until 12:00 noon of the given day.

Singles Shootout. This is a new event which we are starting this winter. It is for players at the 3.5/4.0 level and higher. Weather permitting, it is scheduled for Fridays, 3:05 pm. Signing up is required if you want to participate. To sign up, click Singles Shootout. Use this link also to record your score after each Shootout.

Format. The format will be worked out as we go along this winter, but to start with it will be as follows. Three 'sets' are played lasting 20 min each, preceded by a warm-up period of 10 min starting at 3:05. The warm-up period includes warming up the serve for 2-3 min. Play begins with a regular serve, i.e., no first-ball-in play. There are 5-min breaks between sets. Thus, the entire Shootout lasts 80 min, ending at 16:25. If it is too dark by then, we will play only two sets.

Special Rules

  • A set consists of continuous play of games during a 20-min interval. The final score in a set might be 5:2 or 7:4.
  • The player with the higher score at the end of set moves up one court, the other player down one court.
  • If there is an odd number of players, there will be three players on the lowest court playing Australian.
  • If a serve touches the net and is good otherwise, the point is played out. There is no let call.
  • No-ad scoring. If a game reaches deuce, only one more deciding point is played. The receiver chooses the side from which the ball is going to be served.
  • A player totals his/her scores obtained in the three sets and records the total at Singles Shootout, before 2 pm the following Friday. This score determines the line-up at the next Shootout.
  • If fewer than four players are present, no scores are recorded. If no scores are recorded for a Shootout event, the sign-up program automatically presents a clean slate for the next Shootout.

Explanations Related to the Table of Court Times at Springwood

Reserved Court Times and Club Tennis. In the Court Times table above, the fields with a white background indicate the times at which the Club has reservations at Springwood. Text in these fields indicates scheduled tennis activities during those times.
While all Club scheduled activities take place during these times, some Club members make private arrangements and play at other times.

The Club's main scheduled tennis activities are the Open and Intermediate sessions at Springwood shown in the table above. For details on these activities, see Scheduled Activities below. You will notice that some of the activity names in the table are underlined. This means they are links. Clicking on a link will allow you to sign up for the event, but signing up is required only for the Reg'd Mixed and the Shootout activities. For details about signing up, see the following Sign-up entry. If you are not sure which activity to attend, please see Scheduled Activities.

Play during reserved times is drop-in most of the time as explained under Scheduled Activities below.

There will be a Social Tennis Group in May on Tuesdays 10 - noon. This is not a drop-in activity. The group will be organized by Ada Sarsiat and Renee Guenette. If a volunteer can be found to organize the activity in June, the Social Tennis will also be happening then. To join the group, members should send an email to Ada Sarsiat, and she will add their names to the weekly player schedule. The play is non-competitive mixed doubles. Each session comprises a warm-up period followed by three 35-minute matches. Eeach match is played with a different partner assigned in advance by the organizer. You do not need a partner to join the group. This is an excellent group activity for new members to meet and play with other Club members in a series of friendly social matches.

Back to top

Sign-up. The underlined entries in the Court Times table are links to pages on which you can sign up for these events, or cancel if you have already signed up. You must be a Club member to be able to sign up. If you sign up, you are expected to be on the court promptly at the beginning of the sign-up period. Otherwise, you will forfeit your reservation.

Players may sign up for an event or cancel up to 2 hours before the start of the event. Depending on the event, one can sign up a week or more in advance.

Signing up is required for the Registered Mixed Doubles on Saturday and the Singles Shootout on Friday. However, signing up can be useful for all events in several ways, e.g., when only few players are expected as for some Open times or when the weather is uncertain.

Back to top

Scheduled Activities

  • Open. For all players, from beginners to advanced. The Open sessions allow all formats: ladies', men's, mixed doubles, 3 and 1, singles or practise hitting. However, if courts are needed for doubles, doubles have priority over singles or just hitting balls. If there are players present who want to play doubles and do not have enough partners to form a four-some, singles players are expected to either join them to form a doubles four-some or use the public courts (either Courts 1 - 3 or only Court 1, depending on the day and time as described above.)

    Players playing doubles change courts after completing a set. For more about court changes, see below.

    • Back to top

  • Intermediate, MWF 12:20-2:30. Play during this period is for players at the intermediate level or above (3.0 or higher on the USTA Ranking Ladder), women, men, and juniors.

    The 12:20-2:30 period is divided into a 10-min warm-up session from 12:20-12:30 and three 40-min play sessions. Players change courts after each 40-min session as explained in more detail below under 'Court Changes'. Play is doubles if possible. If there are two or three players on the last court, they might want to play singles or Australian doubles, respectively. If only a single player is extra at 12:20, s/he is to be folded in on one of the other courts. The same applies if a single player is waiting at the 40-min change points. Players who show up during a 40-min session have to wait until the start of the next session to be folded in.

    Up to 12 players can sign up for the 12:20 - 13:10 period. The signup system will put players onto Courts 6, 5, and 4, in that order. Beginning at 13:10, players will change courts as explained under 'Court Changes' below.

    It is expected that players who sign up for the Intermediate Tennis will stay for all three 40-min play sessions even though they can sign up for only the first session. Otherwise, the court changes will not work well.

    Players who have not signed up will play on any of Courts 4 to 6 that are not full or, if these courts are full, then on Courts 2 and 3.

    • Back to top

  • Registered Mixed Doubles, Saturday 10 - 12. Courts 2 and 3 are reserved for registered mixed doubles. The remaining courts, 4-6, are for Open play. During the Registered Mixed Doubles session, teams stay together during the entire 2-hour session, but change courts after completing a set, similar to what is done in the Open sessions but without breaking up the teams.

    Players must sign up for this event.

    • Back to top

  • Singles Shootout, Friday 2:40 - 4:00. The Shootout is competitive play at the 3.5 level and above. For a definition of the USTA ranking levels, click on the link in the preceding sentence or look under Links on this website.

    Up to 20 players can sign up for the Shootout, but only the first ten to sign up will actually get to play because we have only five Courts available, Courts 2 - 6. If more than ten sign up, they will be on the waiting list and the first ones on the waiting list will be moved up into the player list if one or more of the first ten people who signed up cancel. If fewer than ten players are present and their number is odd, the three players on the lowest court will play Australian.

    The sign-up program sorts the first ten players according to their scores on the previous Friday and will place them on Courts 6 to 2, in that order, at the start. Players who did not record a score or who did not participate on the previous Friday, will be sorted in the order in which they signed up below the players who recorded a score. Players can record their scores (total number of games won on a given Friday) on the website after completing play. A score must be recorded at the latest by noon of the Friday following the Friday on which the score was earned.

    Details on the organization of the Shootout.

    Players must sign up for a Shootout. To sign up, use the Shootout link in the Court Times table above. If fewer than 4 players are signed up, the Shootout will be canceled.

    The Shootout starts punctually at 2:40 pm with a a 10-min warm-up followed by three 20-min sets, with 5-min breaks in between.

    Players are expected to play all three sets.

    Different players may participate each Friday. It is first come first served on the sign-up system.

    During the 5-min break at the end of a 20-min set, players change courts as in the Intermediate Tennis events.

    Special Rules Governing Shootout Play

    The warm-up period includes warming up the serve for 2-3 min. Play begins with a regular serve, i.e., no 'first-ball-in' play.

    A set consists of continuous play of games during a 20-min interval. The final score in a set might be 5:2 or 7:4.

    If a serve touches the net and is good otherwise, the point is played out. There is no let call.

    No-ad scoring. If a game reaches deuce, only one more deciding point is played. The receiver chooses the side from which the ball is going to be served.

    • Back to top

  • 3.5/4.0+ Ladder, Monday and Wednesday 6-8 pm, from May 6 to mid-September.

    Courts 4-6 at Springwood are reserved for this activity which is for members at the 3.5/4.0+ level. Loren Guenette is the coordinator. You can contact him at ldguenette@shaw.ca. Players must be members of the Arrowsmith Tennis Club (annual fee: $35). All play is doubles. Ladder play is spread out over two days, with Court 4 on Wednesday being the lowest rung of the ladder and Court 6 on Monday being the highest rung. It is expected that play on Monday will be predominantly at the 4.0+ level and play on Wednesday predominantly at the 3.5+ level. Players move up and down the ladder as described below. Note: Should you wish to try this doubles ladder, please contact Loren who will place you on the list or sub list.

    Play is not drop-in. Instead, players will be informed each week by email of who is playing on which court based on last week's performance. Although play is doubles only, scores are kept for individual players. If a participant cannot play on a given day, a player from the sub list will take his/her place.

    On each court, the four players pre-selected by the Organizer for that court will play three four-game 'sets' using no-ad scoring. Each player serves once in a set. Each set is played with a different grouping of players so that every player plays once with every other player in the three sets.

    A player gets one point for each game won so that s/he can earn a maximum of 12 points in the three sets. The three sets will require not more than an hour. After the first hour, the two players with the most points move up one court, the other two players move down one court. The two players with the most points on the top court and the two players with the fewest points on the lowest court stay on those courts. In the second hour, three more sets are played with the same rules as during the first hour except that the two players who finish with the lower score on the bottom court (Court 4) on Monday will start on the top court (Court 6) the following Wednesday. Likewise, the two players who finish on the top court on Wednesday night will start on the bottom court the next Monday.

    Should there be a three-way tie for either the highest or the lowest score after three sets, a racket spin will determine who is the top or bottom player, respectively, while the other two players play a first to 5 points singles to see who will go down with the lowest or up with the higest scoring player, respectively. Should there be a two-way tie in points between the second and third player, they will play a 5-point singles to see who goes down with the lowest scoring player. If the score reaches 4 to 4 in a 5-point singles, a one-point tie breaker is played. The player serving the 5th and final point serves to the ad or deuce court as selected by the receiving player.

    The two players with the lowest score on the bottom court at the end of the two hours on Wednesday may be placed on the sub list, depending on the number of players available the following week. If a player is unable to participate in a given week and replaced by a player from the sub list, s/he on their return will take up the position reached by the sub list player.

    The objective of the ladder is to get to and stay on the top court.

Court Changes

  • Open. Courts are changed at the end of a set, by calling 'Court' after completing a set. If the other courts are still in the middle of a set, the players on the court on which a set has been completed will start a new set, but stop and change courts as soon as a set is completed on another court and 'Court' is called.

  • Intermediate. Courts are being filled from Court 6 on downward punctually at 12:20. At 13:10 and 13:50, players change courts. During each 40-min session, play is continuous regardless of the score so that the score at the end of a session might be 8:5. At the end of a session, the team with the higher score moves to the next higher court and the team with the lower score to the next lower court, except that the team with the higher score on Court 6 will remain on that court and, similarly, the team with the lower score on the lowest court will remain on that court.

    Team mates in one session will split up and be on opposite sides of the net in the following session.

    After this player exchange and before beginning the new session, any extra players (1, 2 or 3) who are not part of a complete foursome get folded in as follows. First, gaps are filled that might arise if players drop out at the end of a session. If after filling all gaps extra players remain who need a spot, they should change places with the lower-score players on the lowest court. If necessary, it will be decided by spinning a racket who has to step aside for the next 40-min period. If gaps are remaining on more than one court after all extra players have moved in, the courts with gaps will consolidate so that at most one court with fewer than four players remains.

    It makes for more enjoyable tennis if the players on a court are matched. Players are encouraged to keep this in mind when teams are arranged.

Back to top

Drop-in Play. Play is on a drop-in basis for all categories, except the Registered Mixed Doubles, the Shootout, and the Sign-up sessions on MWF 12:20-13:10.

Back to top

Reduced Court Availabilty

  • From May 6 through June 23, Monday - Friday, the Springwood School may occasionally require Courts 1 - 3 for tennis lessons. The School has priority on the courts during those times.
  • From July 8 to August 16, Courts 1 - 3 are reserved for the RDN Summer Tennis Camp from 9:00 until 12:15.

Back to top

Ball Machine. The Club has a Silent-Partner ball machine which is being kept in the Club's storage room. All Club members (juniors only under supervision of an adult Club member) are free to use the machine if they are familiar with its operation AND the Club's rules for using it. Let somebody who has used the machine before explain it to you and/or consult the operation manual for the machine. The machine, if used improperly, can cause severe injuries. When the machine is ON, ALWAYS watch the balls coming out of the machine and NEVER stand directly in front of the machine. The machine can fire balls at 95 mph or 152 km/h!

The ball machine is to be used on a first-come first-served basis. You are requested to sign the log book that is with the machine when you use the machine.

At all times, ball machine use has lower priority on a court than regular tennis play by either members of the public or the Club.

The ball machine should not be used when the courts are wet. Wet balls clog up the mechanism.
