Looking for a few good captains

/ / ,

Tennis ball over the net

 

Hey tennis players, league action has begun. The Eighteen-and-Over mixed league is already under way and the Eighteen-and-Over gender-specific league is starting next week. Recruitment and registration for the other upcoming leagues are going strong as well. 

While we have a lot of willing bodies ready to play, what we really need are captains. Our league coordinator reports that quite a few members have inquired about playing league, but there are simply not enough teams to give them a home. And the limiting factor with teams is ALWAYS the lack of players willing to captain. As most members of the BTA Board are currently captaining teams or have done so in the past, we can all attest that — while there is definitely a little work involved — captaining a team is ultimately a satisfying and rewarding experience. And not as complicated as you might imagine!

The fact of the matter is: Sometimes the best way to play with the folks you like on the kind of team you like is to go ahead and put it together yourself! If you are considering captaining a team, our BTA league coordinator stands by ready to answer any questions and assist you each step of the way in putting together and running a league team, and even provide some willing players. So don’t let lack of experience stand in your way.
