Allow tennis professionals to teach and coach tennis lessons

The Issue

Allow a licensed tennis professionals to teach  privately and groups as of May 1st. All necessary precautions and disinfection protocols approved by USTA, CDC, city and county will be followed.

Serving smaller  groups and private lessons at a time poses a lesser (or no) risk of spreading the virus, as compared to grocery stores being filled with 10+ people inside of one grocery store and 10+ people at a restaurant placing take out orders.

Why is this important?

Tennis professionals rely on the income from clients. While the “tennis industry is deemed “Non essential”, the ability to practice our profession is very ESSENTIAL to our livelihood. We are facing a grave financial hardship.
