Winter League Survey

Thank you for taking the time to fill out our Winter League survey and sharing your opinion and expressing an interest in having a league during the Winter. An overwhelming majority indicated that they would like to play actively during the winter using a combination of public outdoor and private indoor facilities.

The next step for us it to find a facility that will let our members play indoors for a reasonable price. We will keep you posted on our progress. Here are the results of the survey:

Here are some comments we received about suggestions for the Winter league:

• I don't drive (I take light rail), so it would kind of depend on where the indoor facilities are. I'm definitely interest though.
• Greenwood Athletic Club, South Suburban Bubble
• My suggestion would be to approach an indoor facitily and find out when their off-times are (when they have the least amount of play) and how many courts they would be willing to offer us to play and for how long for how much...Then we contract to purchase those times and dates and have a process for people to schedule when they will play there matches...or have the matches assigned...show up and play when your scheduled date/time is...like a round robin tournament style so courts have assigned players to ensure use of the courts. Then everyone can know how much the cost of the league will be by person (cost of courts per day times number of dedicated days divided by number of players in the winter league). Play most likely available on weekend nights or weekday nights like 8PM to 10PM.
• Personally I don't think that an indoor facility is 100% necessary. During the winter in Colorado there are many days when the weather permits for outdoor tennis, it might be a little chillier than usual but players would just have to find the right days to play.
• It would be great to see more women get involved but I am at a loss as to how to get more women players. I will keep you posted if I can think of anything. For now it will probably have to be word of mouth or CL (that's were I found the FTL). I think it would be great to be able to play mixed singles too if no women are available. It's not really clear if that is acceptable for the FTL or not. :-)
• Winter League! Do it!
• It needs to be a longer season to better facilitate the limited playing opportunities. Maybe Nov-March.
• Do it, it would be a blast.

Thank you once again!!
