Training Training for the Wheelchair Tennis competition will take place at the competition venue, Eton Manor. Eton Manor will be open for training from 22 August 2012, the day the Paralympic Village opens, until the end of the competition. All training equipment will be approved by the ITF and will comply with the IPC Manufacturer Identification Guidelines. Booking of training sessions From 22 August until 31 August, all 13 courts at the venue – nine competition courts and four practice courts – will be available for training. From 1 September 2012, when the competition starts, the number of courts available for training will depend on the number of courts used for competition. At all times, there will be no fewer than four courts available for training; on some days, depending on the stage of the competition, one or more of the competition courts may also be made available for training. Regardless of the number of competition courts available, teams will be required to book training sessions. The length of sessions and the number of courts that each team will be allowed is dependent on the number of athletes in each team. Athletes will be able to book sessions through the practice court bookings office, located in the Legacy Building, and through the SIC. Players scheduled to play first and second round matches each day will be allocated the following practice times for them to book: – All first round matches: 09:15–10:00 between 1–4 September; 10:15–11:00 between 5–8 September. – All second round matches: 10:00–10:45 between 1–4 September; 11:00– 11:45 between 5–8 September. Players scheduled for all other matches will be able to book courts on a firstcome, first-served basis. Priority will be given to athletes playing the next day.
