YourTennisGame communities thrive when you show up IRL to do what you love — play tennis, ping pong / table tennis, badminton, pickle ball, racquet ball and any racquet oriented sport.
We believe the global YourTennisGame community deserves to feel welcomed, respected, and excited to connect with each other, whether we do that in person or on social media.
Here are the five key tenets of our community on social media: Be welcoming. Cultivate a space where everyone feels safe to be themselves: a community driven by kindness — not bullying, trolling, or bigotry.
Be real. Act as you would act in real life: with integrity and authenticity.
Be impactful. Contribute to the discussion, and respect everyone’s time. What would you say if you were talking in person at an event?
Be spirited. Show up with an openness to diverse perspectives and lively debate. Be thoughtful. Challenge ideas, not people.
If your posts on social media conflict with any of these tenets:
Your post may be removed. You will be privately notified, warned, and encouraged to adjust your actions going forward in order to stay a member of the community.
If you violate any of these tenets again, we have the right to ban you from our community on all social media channels.

Using profanity in an attacking, sexual way, or in a way intended to offend people, is prohibited in group and event titles, descriptions, or any other area that is publicly promoted or viewable on the platform.
In order to provide a quality experience to our members, titles of groups and events are to be relevant, useful, and easy to understand. Excessive or improper use of punctuation, symbols, capitalization, spacing, URLs, or repetition, intended to grab attention for a group or event, will need to be edited.
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. Posting content that violates another party's intellectual property rights is prohibited.
When provided with the requisite information, YourTennisGame will remove or disable access to material that infringes on the intellectual property rights of others or remove accounts of those who may be repeat infringers.
