Dear Tournament Coordinators and Directors,

With the PA Participant Code of Behaviour Policy (Events and Tournaments) coming into effect on the 1st March 2026 this is an interim Newsletter to update you on all things PA Participant Code of Behaviour.

To support you with the implementation and reporting requirements of the PA Participant Code of Behaviour Policy we have created an implementation guide and a number of new supporting documents. This includes a new Sanction Tournaments Coordinator/Director Report which must be completed and submitted no later than 2 days after the completion of your tournament.

• PA Participant Code of Behaviour Policy

• Participant Code of Behaviour Policy Tournament Implementation Guide

• Pickleball Australia Participant Code of Behaviour Report (Online Form Submission)

• Suspended Players List

• Suspended Player Email Template

• Expected Behaviour Poster

• SPIRIT Poster

• How to Report Poster

• PA Code of Behaviour Violation Recording Form (data collection form)

• Sanction Tournaments Coordinator/Director Report 

All supporting documentation has also been added to the PA Tournament Management webpage.

Please take the time to read through the new policy and supporting documentation. If you have any questions regarding the implementation of the Participant Code of Behaviour Policy and supporting documents please do not hesitate to reach out.
