Etiquette

If spectators continuously comment on the play itself, while this is normal and fun, ask them not to if their comments are loud, disruptive, argumentative, hostile or combative.

Teasing your opponents in a fun and lighthearted way, is part of Pickleball. But be careful – don’t tease someone who is sensitive, who you don’t know, who is a weaker player, or can’t for any reason tease back. Just be careful. Some people have had trauma in the past, and do not receive criticism well.
