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.
Folks like me are glad that all of YOUR desires have been meet by the Rec Dept.
From your posting I see that you understood my gripe very well.
JUST MY OPINION
