Court Etiquette A few things to remember‌ Racquet games require cooperation and courtesy from all participants.

All points played in good faith stand.

Player makes calls on own side of the net. Opponent gets benefit of doubt.

Ball touching any part of the line is good. Ball that cannot be called out is good.

Wait till the game is between points before entering the playing area.

It is better to give the balls to the new server rather than hit balls to the side of the court. If you hit balls to the other side, let the player know the ball is coming.

Please keep quiet during play.

ICYCC Racquet Program In addition to weekly group play, racquet members have the opportunity to participate in numerous special events which are outlined on pages 6 and 7.
