Code of Conduct
Health & Safety
- Let us know in advance if you have any medical conditions or injuries that could affect your ability to play safely.
- Wear the right shoes: sports trainers or tennis court shoes with non-marking soles. Please avoid black soles, running shoes, cross-trainers, or street shoes.
- Warm up before you play — stretch your back, arms, shoulders, and hamstrings. If you’re unsure, check with a physiotherapist or doctor.
- Stay hydrated! Drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your games.
On-Court Etiquette
- Be aware of your movements. Take care when running for low balls or moving backward for high ones.
- If your ball rolls onto another court, shout “Ball on court!” and wait for it to be returned — never run onto another court.
- Don’t cross behind an active court. Wait for the point to finish and ask before crossing.
- Keep the court clear — only one ball per court, and please leave bags, bottles, and towels off the playing area.
Respect & Responsibility
- Respect your fellow players and help keep everyone safe.
- Listen to organisers’ instructions and follow their guidance.
- Remember, while Pickleball is low-risk, accidents can happen. By taking part, you accept this risk and take responsibility for your own safety and actions.
