Code of Conduct
We are a community for women who love basketball. We show up to play, connect, and respect the run.
Community
"Create a space that is safe and welcoming for all women who love basketball."
The court is open to any woman ready to play. We prioritize a focused, respectful environment where every player can join the run.
Inclusivity
"Create an atmosphere of positivity and striving to reach goals, on and off the court."
We are here for the game. We respect the effort of all players and our shared goal of staying active and connected through basketball.
Space Integrity
"Protecting our court from outside agendas to maintain total trust."
We maintain a low-pressure space. We keep our platforms and runs dedicated purely to our community, free from unsolicited external marketing.
The Red Lines
Immediate and Permanent Removal
Harassment
Bullying, intimidation, or harassment of any kind.
Discrimination
Zero tolerance for hate speech or exclusionary behavior.
Reckless Conduct

Any behavior that makes players feel targeted or unsafe.
Solicitation and Brand Integrity
Protecting Our Collective Experience
SheHoopsLA is an independently run community built from the ground up to give players a safe, friendly basketball home free from external marketing tracks. To keep our culture focused entirely on our players, we maintain clear boundaries regarding promotional activities:
🚫 No Unauthorized Activations
Participants may not use SheHoopsLA digital channels (group chats, community platforms) or physical event spaces (courts, sidelines) to distribute flyers, sample products, or market outside organizations, tournaments, or commercial events without explicit confirmation from leadership.
🤝 Partner Affiliation Safeguards
Unsanctioned marketing behaviors create an incorrect assumption of official brand partnership or endorsement. We do not permit outside entities to treat our courts as open recruitment grounds, ensuring our community members are never treated as a transactional audience.
🏀 Organic Social Invitations Welcome
This framework applies strictly to external organizations and business agendas. It does not limit players from naturally extending casual, non-commercial social hangouts (e.g., sharing a plan to watch a game at a local venue across the street).
