  • Please don't scream on the courts – keep the atmosphere friendly and enjoyable for everyone
  • Be mindful when serving: check behind you for players on adjacent courts before you start
  • Always call balls "in" if you're unsure – give your opponents the benefit of the doubt

  • Don't kick stray balls away carelessly - check if another court needs it first
  • If no court needs the ball, put it in your pocket or behind the ledge
