Physical distance when playing tennis: 
Here are some numbers for everyone to think about when playing the game of tennis:
(A) the distance between players that are on opposite sides of the net when rallying 
And
(B) the distance between two players that are on the same side of the court playing doubles together

Red ball 
distance across the net: 36-40 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 12-15 feet (B)

Orange ball 
distance across the net: 60-65 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 15-20 feet (B)

Green ball 
distance across the net: 78-85 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 25-30 feet (B)

Yellow ball (Modified Team)
distance across the net: 78-85 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 25-30 feet (B)

Yellow ball (High School Team) 
distance across the net: 78-85 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 25-30 feet (B)

Adult Clinics 
distance across the net: 78-85 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 25-30 feet (B)

Seasonal courts/daily rentals/& independent tennis coaches
distance across the net: 78-85 feet (A)
distance same side with another player: 25-30 feet (B)

So for each setting there will be more than the recommended 6 foot social distancing measurements.
