1:55pm: RISE TENNIS COACHING CONTINUES TO GO AHEAD AT MANY OF OUR LOCATIONS

State and federal government have confirmed that schools in Queensland are still continuing.  They have given the green light to outdoor sports.  RISE coaches and staff at most of our locations will be running our regular lessons while adhering to the social distancing measures.

Tennis is in a unique position as a small group, non-contact, open-air sport, we are encouraged to continue to deliver our tennis programs as per normal at most of our locations.  Ascot is closed Monday, March 23rd and Moorooka is closed until further notice.  Southport and Yeronga locations will continue with normal programs.

We understand the stress this is putting on our community.  We are confident in the RISE Sport processes, and together we can get through this challenging time and mitigate the risk of this virus when and wherever possible.

We want to reassure our RISE community that extra vigilance is being applied to hygiene standards to ensure our environments are safe for participants and staff, including:

  • Ensuring thorough hand washing protocols are correctly followed
  • Increased frequency of regular cleaning and disinfection of equipment and surfaces
  • Employees showing any signs of illness be excluded from the workplace
  • Placement of sanitiser throughout our locations
