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 Court Times 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.

Explanations Related to Court Times

Scheduled Tennis Activities and Reserved Court Times. The fields with white backgrounds in the table above indicate the times at which the Club has reservations for Springwood Courts 2 to 6. Most scheduled activities take place during these times. However, some Club members play at other times making private arrangements, e.g., the Social Tennis Group which plays on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 12:15 to 1:45 and Saturdays from 10:00 to 11:30. This is not a drop-in activity. To join the group, members should send an email to Paul Arnell and he will add their name to the weekly player schedule. The play is non-competitive mixed doubles, and each session comprises three 30-minute matches, each match with a different partner that is 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.

In addition, to facilitate meeting other players at certain times when the Club has no court reservations, the Club provides an online sign-up system. The fields marked 'No-Rsn' in the table above indicate public times for which members can sign up. Court availability at these times is very likely, but not guaranteed. For details, please go to Sign-up below.

The Club's main scheduled tennis activities are the Open and Intermediate sessions at Springwood. See the Court Times table above. If you are not sure which of these to attend, why not try them both? Also, see 'Categories of Play' below.

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

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.

For the MWF Intermediate tennis, the sign-up is effective only until the end of the first play session at 12:40. After that, players are exchanged on all courts as explained under 'Court Changes' below..

The purpose of the signup at certain public times indicated by 'No-Resn' when the Club has no court reservations is to provide a means to communicate to other players that some people will be on the courts at this time. Court availability is not guaranteed because the general public has equal rights to the courts. However, several courts are usually free even during public times. For the sign-up to work, please be on the courts at the beginning of the given time period.

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 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 the 'No-Resn' times, or when the weather is uncertain.

Categories of Play

  • Open. For all players, from beginners to advanced. The Open sessions allow ladies', men's, mixed doubles, 3 and 1, singles or practise hitting. However, if courts are needed for doubles, doubles has priority over singles or just hitting balls. If there are players present who want to play doubles and do 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 Court 1.

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

    • Back to top

  • Intermediate, MWF 11:50-2. Play during this period is for players at the intermediate level or above. The 11:50-2 period is divided into a 10-min warm-up session from 11:50-12:00 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, except for extra incomplete foursomes who might play singles or Australian doubles. If only a single player is extra at 11:50, 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.

    One can sign up for Courts 4 - 6 for the 11:50 - 12:40 period: Court 4 for ladies' doubles, Court 5 for men's doubles, and Court 6 for 'mixed' doubles. If Courts 4 or 5 are fully signed up while Court 6 is not, additional ladies or men may sign up on Court 6 in which case the composition on Court 6 may end up being 3:1 or 4:0. After 12:40 courts are changed as described under 'Court Change' below, and there is no more sign-up.

    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.

    For the court changes to work, the courts should be filled at 11:50 from Court 6 on down. If any of Courts 4 to 6 are not fully signed up, they should be filled with players who have not signed up or players should regroup themselves so that the courts are filled from Court 6 on down.

    Courts 2 and 3 are open to everybody.

    • 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

  • No-Resn during public play times. These sessions at times at which the Club has no court reservations are at attractive play times, Tues, Thurs, Sat, Sun mornings at 10 and Mon, Wed evenings at 6. By making it possible to sign up at these times, the Club intends to facilitate finding others to play with at these times. Of course, the public has equal rights to the courts at these times, but the courts are hardly ever taken up by the public entirely. For this to work, please be on the courts punctually at 10 am or 6 pm, respectively.

    • Back to top

  • Shootout, Friday 2:00 - 4:10. The Shootout is competitive play at the 3.5 level or above in which each player's scores are accumulated during a given month. The cumulative scores are reset to 0 at the beginning of a new month.

    For a definition of the 3.5 level and the other NTRP ranking levels, click on the link in the preceding paragrah or look under Links on this website.

    Up to 12 players can participate in the Shootout, and Courts 2, 3, and 4 are reserved for this event. The remaining Courts 5 and 6 are for Open play. The Shootout begins on the first Friday in May.

    Details on the organization of the Shootout.

    Players must sign up for the Shootout so that they can enter their scores into the system. To sign up, use the link in the Court Times table above. More than 12 players will not be accommodated, and if fewer than 4 players are present, the Shootout will be canceled.

    The Shootout starts punctually at 2:00 pm with a a 10-min warm-up followed by three 40-min sessions. Players take up courts in the order of their average scores for the current (or past) month, using Courts 4, 3, and 2 if more than 8 players are signed up or Courts 3 and 2 if 8 or fewer players are signed up, starting from Court 4 or Court 3, respectively. Players arrange themselves on a court so that opposing teams are roughly balanced. For the first session, this means the players ranked 1 and 4 or 2 and 3, respectively, will form teams on one court and similarly on the other courts.

    Players are expected to participate in all three sessions. At the end of each 40-min session, each player gets a number of points equal to the number of games won, except for the following proviso. If one side has won 8 games before the end of a 40-min session, the score to be recorded is the score at that point, e.g., 8:3. Play can continue until the end of the 40-min session, but this additional play will not affect the score to be recorded. A player's total score for the day will be the sum of the points earned in the three 40-min sessions.

    Players record their scores on the website by clicking on the Shootout link in the Court Times table above. A score must be recorded at the latest by noon of the Friday following the Friday on which the score was earned.

    It is not necessary that the same players participate every Friday. Of course, the more often one participates the more likely it is to achieve a high score for the given month.

    At the end of each 40-min session, players change courts as in the MWF 12-2 sessions. Players who are on the same team in one session play on opposite sides of the net in the next session. If there are only two players on Court 2 (playing singles), they trade places with the team on Court 3 that obtained the lower score. If there are three players on Court 2 (playing Australian), the player with the lowest score remains on Court 2 while the two players with the higher scores trade places with the team on Court 3 with the lower score. In case there is one extra player, s/he is rotated in on Court 3 after every game played. The scoring in all cases is one point for a game won, whether playing singles or doubles.

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 11:50. At 12:40 and 13:20, players change courts. During each 40-min session, play is continuous regardless of the score so that the score at the end of the 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 Courts 4-6 on MWF 12-12:40.

Reduced Court Availabilty

  • From May 8 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 4 to August 21, Courts 1 - 6 are reserved for the RDN Summer Tennis Camp from 9:00 until 12:15. If any of Courts 4 to 6 are not in use during these times in this calendar period, members should ask permission from the Tennis Camp Organizer before using any of these courts.

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!

Starting sometime later in April, you will be able to reserve the ball machine for hourly periods up to seven days in advance.

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.
