Rally Etiquette & Guidelines

• ✓Play fair, stay positive, and encourage others.
• ✓Respect your opponents, teammates, and organizers.
• ✓Celebrate victories with humility and accept losses with grace.
• ✓Keep it clean: no foul language on or off the court.
• ✓If a ball is debated in or out, there’s no need to argue or escalate. Fair play is always the rule: we simply replay the point.

• ✓If you sign up for a game, show up on time. Late arrivals disrupt matches.
• ✓Can’t make it? Let us know as early as possible so we can adjust.
• ✓Honor your bookings. Last-minute cancellations impact the whole group.
• ✓Keep the game flowing. Long breaks between points or games leave others waiting. Be mindful of the group’s time.

• ✓Matches are curated to ensure balance and fun for all.
• ✓Be honest about your skill level. This helps create fair and competitive games.
• ✓We work hard to balance every game, but perfect matching isn’t always possible. If you find yourself with less experienced players, see it as a chance to support and lift them up. That’s the true Rally spirit.
• ✓Only share tips if your partner is open to feedback. The best time is after the game. Mid-game advice can break a player’s focus, especially if they didn’t ask for it.
• ✓Coaches and advanced players may share tips to improve, if you’re open to it.

• ✓Off the court, we’re a network. Connect, support, and uplift each other.
• ✓Respect all members, whether on the padel court or at social events.
• ✓Invite people you think would fit well in the community.

• ✓Rally is built for you, with you. Your feedback is always welcome!
• ✓Have an idea for an event or improvement? Share it!
• ✓Let’s keep growing Rally together.

Rally is built on trust, respect, and commitment. Members who fail to respect these guidelines (e.g., last-minute cancellations, unsportsmanlike behavior, or disrupting the community) may face:
