Racquet Center is one of 4 divisions within the Parks and Recreation Department and includes programming and management of the Racquet Center. Division staff assists patrons with court reservations,
season pass purchasing, league and round-robin scheduling and works with tennis professionals to provide quality programming, racquet stringing and lessons for Racquet Center customers.
In previous years, all staff has been part-time. This year’s budget recommends that the Racquet Center Supervisor position be changed to a full-time position to better manage the facility as requested by users. To support the increases in expenditures, staff recommends increasing user fees. The responsibilities of the Racquet Center Division include: Managing the use of courts, including the Tommie Barfield Courts; Maintaining tennis courts, racquetball courts, and
office; Managing use at City athletic fields; Developing and delivering the City Kids Tennis Program and other instructional programs for customers of all ages; and Developing and delivering the annual tennis tournament. |
