Tennis
Reopen outdoor tennis courts for play but not initially for coaching.
Why the contribution is important
Boost physical and mental health. Stop small local clubs from financial disaster.

- clubhouses do not re-open
- court bookings only to reduce people traffic
- singles only, no doubles
- share tennis balls with playing partner only.
Consideration should be given to how tennis coaches can get back to work (most are self-employed). Perhaps individual lessons only initially then small groups later at a later stage of the unlock.

Very easy to players to social distance and also for any club staff to run without physical contact.

Social distancing on a tennis court is very easy, even playing doubles.

Perhaps limit use of clubhouse facilities (one person in at once to use toilet for example) use own balls.
Doubles more tricky but could again play with a family member against non family members.

zero contact could be maintained.
It would also be possible to bring your own balls and when a ball goes out of play you only pick up one of your own balls. your playing partner could do the same and therefore there is zero risk of infecting each other.

We need to get on with life and those sorts of activities must surely be amongst the very first things to be 'unlocked'.

It's really a no brainer!? ...doubles might even be permitted, with members of your own household initially and then expanded, as we test and become more aware of new-normal options...
Tennis is the first sport than can be played safely and get us all back to more exercise options!! Come on Scottish Government - make it happen!!!...
