Rules & FAQ
Everything you need to know before you book and before you play. Clear rules, practical details and the small habits that help keep one of Norway’s most beautiful clay courts in top condition.
Clear rules make easy tennis
Booking at Konglungen is simple, but simplicity works best when everyone plays by the same rules. These are the practical habits that keep access fair and the court well used.
Online Booking
All bookings are made via MATCHi, either on the web or in the app. Payment is handled there too.

Members can book up to 2 weeks ahead. Drop-in players can book up to 48 hours in advance.

Free cancellation up to 2 hours before playing time. Refunds are handled automatically.
Season
The official season runs from May 1st to September 30th, though the court is often open in April and October too.
Guests
Guests are always welcome at no extra charge. Just make the booking and bring whoever you like.
Respect the clay
A clay court does not stay beautiful by accident. These are not ceremonial details. They are the practical habits that keep the surface playable for everyone.
Shoes
Use shoes suitable for clay courts, with soft soles and without deep, aggressive profiles.
Water the Court
Water the court for at least 5 minutes after play. Please stop playing 5 minutes before the hour ends so there is time to do this properly.
Brush the Court
Brush the surface and the lines after use. Leave the court in good condition for the next players.
Keep It Tidy
Take your rubbish with you and leave the area around the court clean and calm.
Be Considerate
Avoid loud shouting and swearing. We have neighbours, and the atmosphere around the court matters too.
Private Coaching
Private coaching is not allowed during prime time, 17–20, without agreement with the board.
Dugnad is a Norwegian tradition of collective volunteer work. At Konglungen it means helping prepare and maintain the court, typically 2–4 hours, 3–4 times a season. Active members and families who attend receive 500 NOK back as MATCHi playing credit. Juniors receive 150 NOK back, which is the full membership fee. It is one of the easiest ways to meet fellow members and keep the court in top condition.
