We have put together the following Wanless COVID-19 FAQs to assist our members in understanding the current guidelines of play at Wanless. These could be modified and adjusted as the season progresses and updates are potentially released from the City and the Province.
The Club has asked each member who wishes to use the courts this season to sign a “Member Waiver and Declaration” in order to acknowledge the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic.
If this happens, you must (a) immediately inform the President or the Vice-President of the Club and (b) not visit the Club until you receive clearance to do so from a qualified medical professional or (c) fourteen (14) days after the cold or flu-like symptoms have completely gone away, whichever is later.
Yes. All Club Monitors on staff this season have been fully trained on the new City protocols; have to complete specific paperwork prior to each of their shifts, have been provided and have to wear Personal Protective Equipment (masks and gloves); have to keep paper and electronic records of member play for contact tracing; etc.
Monitors are responsible to check and validate that players going on court are identified as players having booked said court in GameTime, have completed the Member Waiver and Declaration form, and have answered the pre-play COVID-19 questionnaire. All Club Monitors sign-off on each of these tasks throughout their respective shifts.
No. The Clubhouse is not open at this time for members. Only the Clubhouse Monitors and the Instructors have access to the Clubhouse. Wanless has chosen to limit access to its Clubhouse to help manage contact tracing and physical protocols.
No. The washroom in the clubhouse is not available for use by members at the current time. It is used only for Junior Summer Daytime Clinic participants with the assistance of a Club Monitor. City public washrooms are open and available for club members.
Yes, you can purchase balls courtside from the Club Monitor who will bring the balls to you courtside. No other items will be available for sale at this time.
Yes. Please refer to the Booking Rules for ball machine hours. The rental will be for 45 minutes to allow proper sanitization protocols in between usage by the Club Monitors. Payment for the ball machine will be done post-play by e-transfer.
No. To avoid undue contact of individuals pulling the curtains open and closed, the curtains can only be pulled by an Instructor providing a private lesson on Court #1.
We have limited the time of play to 55 minutes to allow for the Club Monitors to sanitize the courts between court bookings as per City of Toronto protocols.
If your booking is on the hour on courts 1, 2, or 3, arrive at the East gate on the hour. If you booking is on the half-hour on courts 4 or 5, arrive at the West gate on the half-hour. You will be asked to wait 5 minutes while the Club Monitor sanitizes the court from the previous booking, verifies your identity, and asks the pre-play COVID-19 screening questions. Your 55 minutes will begin 5 minutes after your court booking.
We have asked players to wait at the East gate (for access to courts #1, 2, or 3) and West gate (for access to courts #4 or 5) so that the Club Monitor is able to ask the pre-play COVID-19 screening questions, validate and confirm the identity of the players going on court to fulfill the contact tracing requirements set out by the City of Toronto protocols, and be the ones to handle the gate doors.
Yes. Non-members will be asked to sign a “Waiver and Declaration” in order to acknowledge the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and provide contact information to facilitate contact tracing protocols established by City of Toronto.
Yes. Guests will be asked to sign a “Waiver and Declaration” in order to acknowledge the risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic and provide contact information facilitate contact tracing protocols established by City of Toronto.
Because of the 55-minute play restriction we have reduced the number of games from 14 to 12 for this season; with each game won being worth a single point.
Each Instructor has been provided with their own teaching equipment materials including basket of balls, tubes, cones, etc. They are the only ones accessing them. Additionally, each Instructor has been trained and is fully versed with the City of Toronto protocols.
