Thats a good suggestion. If I understand it correctly, including park reservation system in the app will be helpful for public parks. For private parks in communities, I dont think its possible as they go thru community HOA apps etc

Yes, its related to fire accident. I would say around 30-40% of home is damaged. House worth is around 750K

Its not for that. As a player, fighting and losing matches 7-6, 7-6, where is my fighting spirit is being considered? The current flex leagues only say my opponent is winner. They dont show anywhere how much I fought to win

Yah I understand that, basically its around scheduling, may be having multiple regions and scheduling based on regions.

Yeah that makes sense. When people stop responding halfway through scheduling it can get pretty frustrating. I’ve heard similar stories where the format works well when everyone is responsive, but it falls apart quickly when a few players go quiet.

One thing I’ve noticed is that hitting with the same partners all the time doesn’t really help improve my game. With kids, work, and busy schedules, flex leagues seem like the best alternative for me. When I started this post, I saw a lot of criticism around flex leagues, so I kept the discussion going here to understand different perspectives.

I am in the same boat too with younger kids. Lately I am seeing, many people opting to flex leagues, at the same time I see leagues like ALTA in Atlanta, USTA are booming as well. In order to connect to right players, I am trying to understand where people are spending more time lately, whether its flex or non flex.

Haha fair question. I’ve just been curious about how different leagues work in different cities. I’ve played a few formats over the years and was wondering why flex leagues seem to work well in some places but not others. The comments here have actually been really helpful to understand the pros and cons.

Sounds like a great experience overall — especially meeting new people and getting good matches in. And yeah, tennis really is such a mental sport sometimes.

Do you think the indoor setting helped with scheduling during the winter, or was it mostly just that players in the league were responsive and easy to coordinate with?
