NEWS FROM STEVE WILSON

I am pleased to announce some changes to our Coordinator Organization: Susan Mock has agreed to accept the position of Scheduling Coordinator. She will be a resource to all flights and leagues. Susan has proven to be exceptionally good at this task and will be a tremendous help in this new position. The flight coordinators will still be responsible for their subflights and schedule but Susan ia available to assist and generate schedules for everyone. Susan will continue to serve as Women's Combo Coordinator. Donna Brown has accepted the position of 18 & over and 40 & over Men's Coordinator. She will be working with the Coordinator network for Spring and Fall Leagues.

John Fanning has accepted the position of 3.0 18+ Women's Night League Coordinator. He will be replacing me in that role. Thanks so much for the great cooperation you have given me. I think the changes will position the LCTA to continue our growth. I will be scheduling Coordinators meetings in the next few weeks.

LCTA Party is October 10, 2014, at Family Circle Tennis Center

Guidelines for Team Formation

In the past, the only requirement has been for a team to guarantee the availability of 3 courts to form a team.  With the team growth and expansion of divisions, the following guidelines are recommended.  They are based on CALTA rules.

For 3 position leagues (Mixed, Combo, Singles, 55+, 65+, 70+, 75+, 2.5, and 5.0+), a maximum for two teams for every 3 courts can be accommodated.  If a facility will commit the following - 3 – 5 courts – 2 teams; 6 – 8 courts - 4 teams, 9 or more courts -  6 teams at a facility.

For 5 position leagues, a maximum of 2 teams can be accommodated for 3 – 9 courts; a maximum of 4 teams can be accommodated in facilities that will commit 10 courts.  In the case of Charleston Tennis Center, more than 4 teams can be accommodated by using Bee’s Ferry; for Maybank, additional teams can be accommodated by using Alan Fleming Courts.

Important dates: 

65 and over / 70 and over registration opens July 25; 3 valid pairings must be registered by August 10, 2014.

Singles league registration opens August 8.  3 players must be registered by August 30, 2014.

18 & 0ver, 40 & over, and 55 & over Fall League registration opens August 22.  The minimum number of players for team formation must be registered by September 13, 2014.
