Pickleball was created to be a fun, competitive, and highly social sport. Since its inception, it has embodied an ethic of good sportsmanship that includes respect, fair play, and graciousness in winning and losing. The purpose of this guide is to encourage behaviors that reflect these foundational values. The Official Rules of Pickleball take precedence over this guide in any and all situations.

1. Treat all players, official, volunteers, staff and spectators with courtesy and respect.
   1. Introduce yourself to any players you do not know.
   2. Never use foul language or obscene gestures. Never denigrate another person.
   3. At the end of each game, meet the other players at the net and acknowledge them in a positive manner. If officiated matches, thank the referee.
   4. Accommodate players with adaptive needs when possible.
2. Know the Official Rules of Pickleball, apply them fairly and cooperate in any situation that is not expressly covered by the rules.
3. Practice good sportsmanship when making line calls.
   1. Respect your opponents’ right to make all calls on their end of the court.
   2. Call your own shot “out” if you see that it is out.
   3. If you question an opponent’s call, do so respectfully and do not argue.
   4. If you defer a line call to your opponents, accept their call graciously.
   5. Do not call a ball “out” unless you see it clearly and are certain it is out.
   6. Promptly correct any wrong call your partner may make.
   7. Resolve any uncertainty in favor of your opponents.
4. Call a fault on yourself or your partner as soon as the fault occurs, regardless of whether your opponents are aware of the fault.
   1. Watch your own and your partner’s feet for service of Non-Volley Zone foot faults
   2. Accept your opponents' and partner’s fault calls graciously.
   3. Admit if the ball hits you or your paddle on the way out of bounds.
5. Claim a replay only if a hinder affects your team’s ability to play the ball.
6. In social play, rotate on and off courts fairly, courteously, and in accordance with local practice.
   1. Don’t jump ahead of others who are waiting to play.
   2. Don’t invite someone else forward in line or rearrange paddles so they can move up to play with you; move yourself back instead.
   3. Don’t call a lower score or start a second game to avoid leaving the court.
   4. Be prepared to play when it is your turn.
   5. If you must cross over or behind an active court, wait until play is stopped and cross quickly in a single group to minimize disruption of that game.
7. Make safety a priority, while using common sense.
   1. If a ball strays onto your court, make eye contact with the correct person and roll or toss it back to them without disrupting play on other courts.
   2. If your ball enters another court, immediately warn any players whose safety may be in jeopardy by loudly calling “ball” or some other warning. If the ball is rolling behind their court and does not present a danger to players, do not interrupt play but wait until play stops to retrieve it or ask for its return.
   3. Never throw your paddle or strike the ball in anger or frustration.
8. As a stronger player in social play, be kind to others.
   1. Avoid hitting excessively to a weaker player.
   2. Do not slam the ball directly at other players.
9. Be considerate about plying up and playing down.
   1. Be willing to play sometimes with less-skilled players
   2. Do not demand to play with more skilled players; ask them nicely if you wish to play with them.
10. Be a respectful and supportive partner.
    1. Avoid criticism and negative non-verbal communications.
    2. Provide coaching and advice only when requested.

We have seen a significant increase in morning pickleball play on the AdventHealth Covered Courts at Pictona. A result of our growing membership and rising summer temperatures!

Our goal is to always serve the members and create the best overall experience we can for you and the many visitors we see day to day. After listening to feedback from members, visitors, and groups over the past few weeks we will be implementing a change to our summer court utilization plan to give more members the opportunity to play.

Members will be able to participate in Open Play Monday thru Sunday on all 8 AdventHealth Covered Courts from 8am to Noon. (Please note that there may be occasional exceptions for classes and clinics).

Members will be able to make reservations on the AdventHealth Covered Courts on weekdays between Noon and 5pm pending Pictona classes, private lessons and other club scheduled events.

Member reservations on the AdventHealth Covered Courts will be available after 4pm on Saturdays and Sundays.

Reservations on uncovered courts 21 thru 24 are available to members 7 days a week 8am to 9pm pending other club scheduled events.

This change will be in effect from Saturday August 28^th through the rest of the summer until mid-October.
