In case of rain or severe weather, RSC will communicate by phone and/or email to cancel court bookings and programs. A credit will be issued. Players can check if courts are re-opened by calling the front desk or checking the court grid through their RSC account.

If a court booking is interrupted by rain or severe weather conditions, players will be asked to leave the court. Players will receive a credit if the interruption occurred before half of the playing time.

We here at Rideau Sports Centre understand that tennis players are eager to get onto the court to start playing as soon as possible. Players are to wait until the buzzer sounds (3-minutes before the start time) before entering the dome out of respect for the players that are already on court.
