Build tennis courts at UMCH for Decatur High and the community!!!

I support Tennis Courts at the UMCH not only for DHS students but for all the residents in COD.

This is really needed!

Definitely needed! It is ridiculous not to take this opportunity

Please, please, please!

Tennis is such a good sport for life. I believe this is a great investment for the city.

Great idea! More tennis and pickleball courts, please. Much needed, and they would be a valuable asset to the community.

I love this idea

Great idea and way over due.

Serious need. Not enough quantity or quality given number of players. Our current court numbers and surfaces an embarrassment when compared with other offerings. Bad PR. We can do better

Decatur needs more courts and definitely some courts south of the railroad tracks.

There are definitely not enough tennis courts in Decatur to accommodate all the city's rec teams, ALTA teams and the school teams. We typically have to leave the city to find an available court if we want to play tennis. Please consider building more courts - they won't take up much room!

We a Have rising 6th graders who both play tennis and we would like them to have courts to play on in highschool

Please build tennus courts for CSD /DHS teams at the new site!

As a longtime tennis player (Juniors, H.S., college, ITF), private instructor and father of two kids asking me to teach them the sport, I personally think this is a great idea. Go big and it will do a decent job funding itself as well. Eight hard courts, 4 Har-tru green clay (and 4 pickleball courts, apparently) and a nice clubhouse with a pro shop is on my wish list.

There is certainly a need for tennis courts for DHS and the community. Tennis is a growing sport and incredibly popular. I was very surprised to learn DHS didn't have home courts. I think using some of the space for courts would be a win for the entire community!

Definitely want to see athletic facilities at UMCH for all inc school,use

I am a COD resident since 2006, tennis player who plays tennis weekly, my husband plays occasionally, I've managed ALTA, USTA (adult and junor) teams, played on flex leagues, taken group lessons, private lessons, played in local tournaments, and attend drills. I have an Junior on the DHS team and an 8th grader who looks forward to playing for DHS next year. As a family we bring our racquets to our vacations and when we find an hour for fun, we call for a court so we can hit balls. I hope it's clear that we have happily spent a good amount of funds for tennis in our city. Unfortunately, it's difficult to get a court because tennis is CRAZY popular here and the court space is limited. It's particularly frustrating to schedule flex league matches because court space is very limited and I've had to forfeit home court advantage just to get a match played. While I'm at it, it would be helpful to have a couple of back board courts (squash courts?) where we can practice hitting. Finally, I realize I'm not getting younger so courts lined for pickle ball would be a bonus!
