take the court/pitch & begin playing straight away/immediately

Hi Adam,

Meaning they recommend arriving 15 minutes earlier to allow for warm-up etc. so that when their time starts they're ready to play.

Good luck!

[warm-up and,] once on the court, start the game immediately

IMHO, you should focus on making clear that players do not warm up on the court (ie court only to be used for the actual game/match).
