I'm not really sure what your gripe is, however, it appears you received an answer to your original question regarding the issuance of permits. As you noted, the league is designated as an INTERMEDIATE TEAM LEAGUE with sign-ups by those in that ranking. Experienced players will evaluate the signees to make certain they are in the appropriate league and for the captains to rank them prior to a DRAFT. The Recreation Dept. has always been responsible for these leagues. There are also Beginner and Advanced Team Leagues in play.
Now you may not like the rules whereby the Rec Dept determines when, what and where leagues are formed, but I personally have seen better utilization of the available times for open play and league play. Not to mention the many times and locations, for all levels of instructions. For folks like yourself, what's wrong with any time after noon? I am in no way associated with the Rec Dept, other than volunteering occasionally as an instructor and using the courts during open play and leagues. I also had some differences with regards to court utilization last year, but voiced my concerns in a constructive way. You appear to desire things to be conducted only YOUR way. Unfortunately there are way too many residents requiring service by the Rec Dept to have small groups dictate their prescibed needs. All in all, I believe they do a marvelous job. JUST MY OPINION.

I and other residents were told in January that the villages would no longer issue permits to any leagues other than those run by the Recreation Dept., between the hours 7am to 12pm. The reason for this was to let ALL residents use there courts and stop certain groups from taking over the courts.
I called the recreation dept to object to this resident being able to take over
the courts and was told He is representing the villages so that makes it
OK. I called over to SeeBreeze and was told by Joe the article was a mistake and should have read "RUN BY REC DEPT".
If this is the way the Rec Dept. works I would like to apply to represent the villages so my league can play at the times we want and only with the players we want.
