LJCC-scheduling Home match @ opponent facility due to religious holiday. Be cooperative with captains over holidays in general.
Sympathetic and cooperative over spring break weeks that are not in our “bye” week.
Scheduling is done by hand and a lot of work goes into making it successful. Conflict sheet used makes it very difficult to get the schedule complete.

Use CURRENT season log in, which was sent to captains.

Captains were notified of player move up/down.
Based on statistics, captains were notified of players who met the percentage and the rules that apply to their court position. 85% or better move up or must play court 1. If stats are made again, they must move up.
Looking at teams who are making stats, but individuals players staying just under 85% stats.
Growing the league, working on ways to get 2.5’s involved in LITL.
All officers working and communicating with pros at each club to encourage this growth with the new players.
Multi-court League.
Complaints brought up: certain levels are back to back days with Soft Court, USTA etc. Looking at ways to spread this out without compromising numbers in LITL.
Looking at ways to spread out and grow 5.3/5.0 division. Looking into different days. Considering survey to help this process and get input form players/clubs.

Patti Moultrie-Treasury
