KPC CODE OF CONDUCT

Kingman Pickleball Club (KPC) strives to maintain an atmosphere of good sportsmanship, collegiality, and respect for Club rules and procedures. Such an atmosphere is necessary for the smooth functioning of a busy pickleball club that attracts members and guests of varying ages, genders and skill levels. Conduct by individual members that does not meet appropriate standards detracts from the playing or observing experience of others and may harm the reputation of the Club. As a result, there is an expectation that all KPC members embrace the values of good sportsmanship. It is essential that members model good behavior, lead by example, display respect, and show self-control. 

As a member of KPC, I understand I am representing the Club. As such, I acknowledge and agree to abide by the following: 

• I will not engage in unsportsmanlike conduct and will not encourage others to do so. 
• I will not engage in any behavior that would endanger the health, safety, or wellbeing of others. 
• I will not engage in the use of obscene gestures.
• I will not flaunt my level or position in the Pickleball community. 
• I will not taunt or degrade others.
• I will treat others with respect and kindness.
• I will exhibit fairness and honesty in my dealings with others. 
• I will accept responsibility for my actions. 
• I will exemplify the highest standard in ethical behavior and fair play. 
• I will engage in conduct that is free from fear, discrimination, abuse, and harassment. 
• I will accept responsibility for guests and family members in attendance at events and/or open play opportunities.
• I will observe the Golden Rule of doing unto others as I would have them do unto me.
