Guidelines for Young Players

  1. In attitude be serious, competitive, pleasant and well-mannered.
  2. There will always be stronger and weaker players than yourself. Treat all with equal respect and courtesy.
  3. Win or lose graciously, accepting your victory or defeat with dignity. Bad temper and melodrama have no place in the sport.
  4. Irritating time-wasting and off-putting tactics are totally unacceptable and illegal.
  5. Bad line calls and fault serving create ill-feeling very quickly be very sure.
  6. Make sure that YOU are always scrupulously fair. Make sure you know and understand the “Laws”. A few are obscure but most are entirely straightforward.
  7. Should you be faulted by an Umpire or Service Judge and you genuinely do not know why – politely ask. Then acknowledge the answer. At the end of the match, as well as thanking your opponent, always thank both the Umpire and the Service Judge.
  8. In a game without an Umpire, should you feel that you are being cheated by your opponent DO NOT GET ANGRY. Quietly report to the Referee and explain your problems.
  9. Always remember that many eyes and ears are watching and listening. Your reputation is in your own hands, but never forget that you are an advert, not only for yourself but for your Parents, Teachers and Coaches.

One further essential – ENJOY YOUR SPORT.
