INDOOR COURT RULES

  • Club members must cancel reservations the day before their scheduled time, or they will be billed for the court.
  • Players may not enter the bubble prior to their scheduled time if there is a game in progress.
  • Players must exit the bubble promptly at the end of their scheduled time, to allow the next group of players to take the court. Lingering players may be billed a minimum extra 15 minutes if they cut into another group’s reservation.

SWIMMING POOL RULES

  • No alcohol is allowed in the swimming pool, on the deck, or on the lawn. This is a requirement of the New Mexico Department of Alcohol & Gaming, and is therefore non-negotiable.
  • Children under 14 years of age must be accompanied by an adult.
  • All signage and rules posted within and around the pool must be followed.
  • Management has the responsibility to close the pool due to lightning or any other situation it considers unsafe for swimmers.
  • Management’s primary responsibility and concern is the safety of swimmers and therefore will be uncompromising in its decisions to close the pool.
  • The lifeguards are there for swimmer safety and have the authority and responsibility to close the pool due to lightning or other safe conditions. Failure to obey their commands and cooperate with them may create a dangerous situation and result in disciplinary action, including but not limited to, temporary or permanent revocation of pool privileges.
