General educational guidance · FEBA-specific details are identified separately.
Learn the local routine
This is general training etiquette, not a statement of FEBA's official club rules. Each venue has its own procedures, so ask the team about footwear, equipment, class entry and where to leave your belongings. Arrive early enough to check in and get ready. If you arrive after the session begins, get the coach's attention and ask how to join rather than walking into an active drill.
Make demonstrations count
Pause conversation when the coach is explaining an activity. Watch the full demonstration and ask if a step is unclear. Avoid practising a different movement while someone is giving instructions nearby. Following the assigned exercise helps the coach see what you are doing and keeps partners working on the same task.
Communicate with your partner
Introduce yourself and mention if you are new. Check that both of you understand the drill and follow the coach's instructions about pace and contact. Do not add surprise movements or turn a cooperative exercise into an unagreed contest. If either person asks to pause, stop and clarify. Bring uncertainty to the coach rather than trying to settle a technical disagreement yourselves.
Look after shared space and equipment
Wear clean training clothes and keep personal items out of the training area. Ask how shared equipment should be used, cleaned and returned. Leave enough room for other people to practise, and look before moving between groups. If you are unsure how to hold pads or use an item, request instruction before starting. Being considerate includes admitting when you need help.
Respect attention and privacy
Ask the gym and the people involved before taking photos or recording a round. Consent to train beside you is not permission to appear in a public post. Keep unsolicited coaching to yourself and direct questions to the instructor. A brief thank-you to your partner and coach is a straightforward way to finish.
You do not need to know every convention before your first visit. Listen, ask and adapt to the instructions you are given. Good etiquette is mostly a series of small choices that let everyone take part with clear expectations.
