GRIMSBY PICKLEBALL ASSOCIATION
About us
The Grimsby Pickleball Association is a not-for-profit group operated and cared for by volunteers. It was created in 2022 by a group of avid pickleball players working with the Town of Grimsby to support the growth of pickleball in the area. Starting from playing on an off-season ice pad marked with two courts, play has grown to attract many new and experienced pickleball players. In the summer of 2022, the Town of Grimsby constructed four new pickleball courts at Mayfair Park. The courts are enjoyed by both non-member and GPA member players.

CODE OF CONDUCT
1. BE ON TIME
Your sessions have a beginning and ending time. Members rely on each other to show up and be on time - a player down is a huge disadvantage even if it is only a few minutes! You need to respect the booked courts times for all players.
2. RESPECT OTHERS- PLAYERS, VOLUNTEERS, FACILITATORS
There is zero tolerance for disrespect or violence between players, volunteers or facilitators. Always conduct yourself in a manner that promotes the health, safety and wellbeing of others with consideration and respect.
3. RESPECT THE ENVIRONMENT
Respect the courts and surrounding park and neighborhood. Keep the courts clean and litter free. No smoking, gum, food or beverages (other than water) on the courts.
4. FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE GAME
Remember, we are playing a set sport and we cannot create our own rules or regulations.
5. COMMUNICATION
It sounds simple... but it can go a long way. We encourage open communication. Listen more than you talk. That said, please feel free to share your ideas with a court captain or board member anytime.
6. GOOD SPORTSMANSHIP
Maintaining good sportsmanship is fundamental to a fun and competitive game . Players must always exhibit good sportsmanship and encourage others to do the same. Always conduct yourself in a manner that is fair, honest, encouraging, supportive and positive.
7. NO COURSE LANGUAGE
Foul language has no place on the pickleball courts and will not be tolerated.
