** TO ENSURE COMPETITIVE MATCHES, AWESOME SPORTSMANSHIP & YOUR SAFETY! **

• DO PROPER WARM-UP ACTIVATION EXERCISES BEFORE YOUR SESSION: Warm-up activation exercises are very important to prepare your key muscles for the game and prevent injuries. NOTE: We have a list of activation exercises designed for pickleball, which you can get from Jay McLean; message him directly in OpenSports.
• PLAY WITHIN YOUR LIMITS: Do not push yourself beyond your limits. Know your capabilities and play accordingly.
• DRINK CONSISTENTLY THROUGHOUT YOUR SESSION: Staying hydrated is important to prevent cramps and other injuries.
• BE AWARE OF YOUR SURROUNDINGS: Look out for other players, spectators, and potential hazards on and near the court. Avoid running backwards to retrieve balls as this can cause injuries. Instead, turn around and run forward to retrieve the ball.
• DO PROVIDE POSITIVE ENCOURAGEMENT to your partner and even your opponents, if one makes a mistake or does an awesome shot; pumping up each other’s spirits can do wonders for your game!
• FUN ENVIRONMENT: WE ALL have off days sometimes when things seem to go wrong no matter what we do; it is up to every single player to control their frustration/disappointment/anger and ensure this doesn’t ruin the game for others, whether it’s their partner making the mistakes or themselves. We all must look out for each other and create a safe and fun environment for everyone. 🥰
• LASTLY, Don’t be afraid to HAVE AWESOME FUN & HAVE A LAUGH! 🤩🤩
