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!!

Fall League Survey

In our constant quest to make the Flexible Tennis League - the best flexible league ever, we asked our members to take a survey. A big thank you to all those who responded and provided some valuable comments. Here are the responses we received.

4 people said that they might be interested in contirbuting to our blog and facebook page. Please send us an email so that we can set you up with proper access to our blog and Facebook pages.

We received some other interesting reponses on how to improve the league and the website:

• 
  
  "maybe be connected w/meetup.com in some way."
• 
  
  "Include an availability matrix so that we can see who has open time that matches our own. Would make practice and matches easier to coordinate."
• 
  
  "The Website is very good the way it is. I see nothing wrong with it."
• 
  
  "FTL is working great so far! Got regular matches 2x/week since signing up, and playing a one-off tonight with a new partner!"
