The Way of the Dorf
baldorf is more than just a game or a sport – it’s a culture and a way of life. Dorf Heroes understand MRP’s mission of making individuals, communities and the world a better place through sound education, healthy living and community service. To achieve this end, a true hero understands and follows the 8 sacred baldorf principles, known as the Way of the Dorf.
The Way of the Dorf
- Be Kind | Everyone knows the Golden Rule, and it’s the first step to becoming a baldorf Master: treat others as you want to be treated. Kindness is a choice, please make the right one.
- Honesty & Integrity | If it’s not right don’t do it; if it’s not true, don’t say it. When in doubt, tell the truth.
- Sportsmanship | Treat fellow Dorfers with the respect everyone deserves. Remember there are no losers in baldorf, only non-winners.
- Maximum Creative Energy | Focus on the ins, not the outs. Life only runs itself if you let it.
- Community Involvement | There’s no I in baldorf. Take time to support your community – donate food, help your neighbor, clean the park.
- Commitment to Healthy Living | Eat well, sleep enough and get your exercise (particularly by playing baldorf and Pigdorf). Stay fit – a baldorf athlete must have the ability to put some leg into it any time, any place.
- Appreciate Your Environment | Enjoy nature and conserve the natural world we all depend on.
- Be A Strong Ambassador | How do you get others to play baldorf and enjoy the culture? Let them see how much fun you’re having! baldorf should not be left in a box on the top shelf of a closet when not in use.
