Tennis Signup Rules 2025

SAFETY ADVISORY

You are welcome to play at your own discretion and at your own risk. The Peoria Area Telugu Association or the Coordinators will NOT be held responsible for any injuries sustained by the players during the match. Players will be required to sign a waiver form releasing PATA from any liability.  If the state or national guidelines develop that suggest tennis is inherently unsafe, or we have a stay-at-home order, then we reserve the right to shut down the league.  Please follow COVID-19 guidelines by wearing face-mask during non-playing time and social distancing.
