- Good Sportsmanship. Anyone who has lost a match after repeated bad line calls or disputes over the score knows the bad feeling this leaves behind. Anyone who has won under such circumstances knows that the "victory" rings hollow. It is up to each Club member to be responsible for his own behavior. It is not up to Club officers to referee such disputes.

Good sportsmanship also involves showing up in a timely manner, honoring one's commitments to play, and waiting one's turn when others are signed up for Open Play. It's okay to take a "pass" and wait for the next available game. It's not okay to cut ahead in line. Blatant or repeated violations will be referred to the Club's Standards Committee.

- Diversity. We urge all members to welcome new members, realizing that they are the life blood necessary for the growth of our Club, while also committing ourselves to respectfully treating players of all races, genders, and backgrounds. One of our greatest strengths is our diversity, which has only grown over the last several years. Therefore, harassment or deliberate rudeness directed at any player for any reason will not be tolerated.

- Healthy Fun. For nearly all of us in the Club, tennis is a recreation, not a vocation. We come to have fun, relieve daily tensions, develop friendships, exercise, and improve our athletic abilities. While winning is fun, it should not come at the cost of our other goals.
