As we all know, there are lots of rules to follow when we play pickleball.
And there are rumors of new rules coming out in January 2021.
However, there's one unwritten rule that is the most important rule to follow in 2020 and beyond.
What rule is that?
THE GOLDEN RULE!
The Golden Rule is the principle of treating others as you want to be treated.
Because we are living in a pandemic, it's even more important to treat others as you would want to be treated.
TELL YOUR PLAYING PARTNERS IMMEDIATELY IF
- you have been recently exposed to COVID19,
- you have recently been tested for COVID19 and are waiting for results, or
- you have tested positive.
Until recently, I would have thought that this was a no-brainer.
But I know that I am not alone in knowing that there are some pickleball players not playing by the Golden Rule.
Please follow the Golden Rule and let others know what your COVID19 status is. And if you're like me, start asking others their COVID19 status before you set up pickleball play dates.
Please take care of yourselves and your pickling buddies,
Kathy Getto
