Our Membership Values

To protect the integrity, safety, and enjoyment of The Girls Who Ball (“TGWB”) community, we expect all members, guests, and team members to uphold the following standards of behavior.

1. Kindness and Respect

We are a space for women and allies who celebrate connection through sports, culture, and community. Discrimination, harassment, or judgment based on gender, race, religion, disability, sexual orientation, identity, or political views will not be tolerated. Every member shares responsibility for maintaining a respectful and inclusive environment.

2. Positive Interaction

Respect is fundamental to our community. Abusive, threatening, or harassing language or behavior—whether verbal, written, digital, or physical—will result in disciplinary action, up to and including suspension or permanent termination of membership.

3. Responsible Conduct

Having fun is encouraged; inappropriate or disruptive behavior is not. Members and guests must refrain from excessive intoxication, illegal drug use, or any conduct that endangers or disturbs others. TGWB reserves the right to deny entry or remove anyone engaging in disorderly, unsafe, or disrespectful behavior at any TGWB event or activation.

4. Accountability

Members are responsible for the behavior of any guests they bring. Misconduct by a guest reflects on the member and may lead to disciplinary action, including suspension or revocation of membership.

5. Non-Disclosure and Privacy

Events and community interactions are private to our members. Recording, photographing, or sharing details about other members or guests without their consent is prohibited. TGWB encourages content creation and sharing that highlights our events, but all members are expected to respect the privacy and comfort of others when doing so.

Membership Rules

1. Application and Approval

Submitting a membership application signifies your agreement to these House Rules. Membership is granted at the discretion of TGWB and may be reviewed or revoked at any time for conduct deemed contrary to these standards.

2. Payment and Renewal

Membership fees are due upon approval and renewed annually. Failure to complete payment within 30 days of the due date may result in suspension or termination of membership privileges.

3. Resignation and Refunds

Members may resign at any time; however, membership fees are non-refundable. Refunds or credits, if any, will be issued solely at TGWB’s discretion.

4. Membership Privileges

Membership grants access to TGWB events, communications, and benefits as outlined in your tier level. It does not confer ownership rights, profit participation, or voting power in the organization.

Event Conduct

1. Entry & Guests:

Members may bring guests to approved events only when permitted under their membership tier. Guests must remain with their host at all times and comply with all House Rules.

2. Substance Use:

The use, possession, or sale of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited. Violations will result in immediate removal and permanent membership termination.

4. Photography & Recording:

Members and guests are welcome to record and share their TGWB experiences on social media. However, members must always be mindful of others’ privacy and obtain consent before filming or posting identifiable content of another attendee.
