Yavapai College Tennis Complex Snow Clearing Procedure

Yavapai College is pleased to offer the use of our state-of-the-art tennis complex to our students and the community. The complex includes 7 beautiful courts, spectator seating, plenty of parking and great views. Online reservations are available.

The Yavapai College Facilities Management Team has the sole responsibility for maintaining the complex and makes every effort to keep the courts open and ready for play. Occasionally, storm, maintenance or other conditions make the courts unavailable for brief periods. The College is committed to keeping these periods as short as possible. In extreme circumstances, such as significant accumulations of snow or ice, the complex will be cleared after the balance of the campus has been treated. In rare instances this may cause the courts to be unavailable for up to 2-3 days. The gates may be locked during these periods for everyone's safety and to allow Facilites undisturbed access. In addition, during College closure normal facility services may be unavailable. The Faciliities team will make the determination on when the courts are safe and available for use. Please check the reservations webpage for notice of closures.

Due to the specialized surface and nature of the complex, individuals, although well meaning, may not be properly trained in snow and ice removal or the special tools and techniques required for these surfaces. Rock salt and other chemicals cannot be used ans specific shovels, brooms and rollers are needed and must be used in a prescribed way. Our Facilities team has the tools and training to maintain the courts along with the supervision to assure the job is done right.

No employees, students, instructors, patrons or volunteers, other than those from the Facilities team, are permitted to perform any maintenance, repair, snow or ice removal. Patrons may use "water rollers" or squeegees (provided by the College) to address small puddles if necessary. No other tools, shovels, rollers or chemicals are permitted on the courts except those in use by Facilities personnel.

Your cooperation with these rules will help us properly maintain the complex and keep it a safe and enjoyable place to play and learn.
