Parents of the junior program must drop off and pick up children to and from the gym i.e. not the parking lot.

The EJBC is a VOLUNTEER run club. It is a condition of club membership that all parents and senior club members volunteer their time to run the club. A volunteer's schedule will be emailed to you after registration is completed.

Members are expected to provide their own racquets, protective eyewear (mandatory*), and shoes with “gum” (non-marking) soles (also mandatory).

We do offer, on loan, some racquets and protective eyewear.  These can be signed out at the front desk if you should forget to bring your own.

*Protective Eyewear is a condition of our insurance coverage

Warm-up pants and tops are acceptable during the winter months when the gym is somewhat cold.  Jeans and running/walking shoes are NOT acceptable!

CONDUCT

The Club has organized the facility and the coaching for the benefit of its members.  In return, we ask for everyone’s cooperation in making the evening enjoyable and instructive for everyone.  We ask that those who are not playing be quiet, patient, and well-behaved and wait their turn.  We expect good sportsmanship to be enacted at all times.  Please turn all mobile devices to silent/vibrate and conduct telephone conversations in the hallway.

The Club reserves the right to ask disruptive members to leave.

I have carefully read this agreement and fully understand its contents as evidenced by my registration and participation in the club. I am aware that this is a release from liability regarding the parties listed above and the assumption of risk by me and my child/children.
