The 20-Minute Midday Reset: Keep Courts Crisp Through the Lunch Rush

Midday can sneak up on you: morning clinics wrap, remote workers roll in, and suddenly courts feel fuzzier and starts slip by five minutes. A tight midday reset keeps afternoons on time without draining staff.

The Problem

Manual “as-we-can” cleaning turns into missed spots and scattered effort. Baselines get dusty, NVZs get slick, and staff spends the next hour reacting.

The Fix

0:00–3:00 | Stage & Signal
Announce a short reset; move paddles to a rack by lane; wheel in balls and towels.


3:00–10:00 | Hot-Zone Pass
Hit edges first (corners, baselines, entry lanes), then NVZs with low-moisture.


10:00–15:00 | Hardware & Map
Net height check, caddies filled, court map updated for the next wave.


15:00–20:00 | Welcome Back Script
“Format today is first to 9; rotate on horn. If you feel a slick spot, flag us—resets are fast.”

Takeaway

A predictable midday reset trades 20 minutes for hours of smooth sailing.
