Facilities Manager

The Facilities Manager has as a primary responsibility for the maintenance of facilities used by the tennis club.   These facilities include the courts, the nets, the windscreens, brooms and squeegees, the clocks, the kiosks, and the social area structures and storage sheds.   The kiosk is an important communication facility to post notices and alert members to events and court usage.   The Manager schedules the cleaning and maintenance of the courts.

The Facilities Manager is also responsible for ordering supplies for the courts, the social areas, and the first aid kit.   These supplies include items such as cups, plates, napkins, propane for the grill, and band-aids. If any items need to be replenished, notify the Facilities Manager directly so the stock can be replenished.
