Safety Guidelines & Court Etiquette

• Do not step into courts in play, maintain a safe distance from court boundaries (min. ~1 ft.)
• When your birdie falls in another court in play, wait until the point is finished to pick up your bird.
• When your game is interrupted (eg. basketballs, birdies), stop the game immediately and replay the point.
• Make sure the racket shaft is securely attached to the grip before hitting.
• Clear the court before starting a game.
• Warm up and stretch before starting a game!
