4.2Court etiquette

Wait for the rally to end before walking behind or across a court, or fetching a stray shuttle.
Call the lines on your side. If you’re not sure, give your opponents the point.
Pass the shuttle back under or over the net to the server, not across the next court.
Follow the club’s rotation so everyone gets games. Come off after your game if people are waiting.
Mix it up. Play with different partners and levels. Everyone was a beginner once.
Shake hands or tap rackets at the net after a game.
