The reason for long lines in the morning is that the temps are cooler. Do you want seniors keeling over and dropping dead in the afternoon when the temps can be in the 90's? Of course, it is more sensible to play in the cooler mornings. Having more courts would help the lines in the morning. PB has become a very popular sport for those that are not more adept at other sports. It is easy and fun to play and really great for improving one's reflexes. Just about every rec center I have played at, has had lines in the morning. Just about every rec center I have passed in the hot afternoons has been empty. Not much can be done to change the heat. At least folks will play a game, move off the court and wait in line so that others can play. Otherwise, you would have to wait forever before someone would leave and you could play. The answer is more courts, and most rec centers have sufficient property to add more courts.
