Decatur High has needed a place to play tennis for as long as I can remember. Please include tennis courts in the plan for the 77 acres.

The tennis community within Decatur is thriving within all age ranges and throughout all of our schools. It is unfortunate that Decatur High School has to travel to Clarkston to play tennis if there is a potential opportunity to add a recreation facility at the UMCH. My daughter is on the Glenlake ALTA team and plays in the Jr USTA division. She has many friends at Renfroe that play tennis that will be moving to DHS to play. The sport of tennis is only expanding and more facilities are desperately needed to keep up with the demand.

Our city's high school players need a tennis home for practices and home matches. With tennis being such a big sport in Decatur, it is unfortunate that our one and only high school tennis team doesn't have courts to play on right here in Decatur. Right now the high school players have to be bused to Clarkston at the Georgia State campus to practice and play home matches. There are 26-28 players on the high school tennis team (boys and girls, varsity and jv) and the hs tennis season stretches from January to April. In order to have effective practices and to be able to host home matches, the team needs an ample number of courts on a daily basis during those months for practices and matches. Thank you considering the strong need for more tennis courts, not only for our HS students but for the whole community.

We definitely need more tennis courts in Decatur! Our whole family plays tennis, and very often we have to leave Decatur to find an available court. The DHS tennis teams should not have to be bused to Clarkston every day -- it would be much more in keeping with our community values for our student-athletes to walk to practice and have real home matches!

There are not enough tennis courts in Decatur to accommodate all of the city's rec teams and the school teams. Please consider building more courts.

I believe that it is really important for a tennis team to actually have courts to use that are near their school. If they are taking down the children’s home, then this is the best idea to replace it.

DHS does not have a true "home court". For example, we had a difficult time finding a place to practice this season. As we prepare to put ourselves in the position to be in the state finals, we realize a facility for our team is necessary. As DHS tennis coach and an advocate for the our student-athletes, I hope that our community will agree that building a tennis facility for DHS tennis is not only a win for the Bulldogs but also for the large number of local players as a whole.

There is a huge tennis community in Decatur!! It is silly not to have facilities to accommodate the HS team. We don’t need more condos or retail space. Tennis courts would be wonderful!

Tennis is a life long sport, and easily accessed by people from various socio economic backgrounds. We need dedicated courts for our kids to practice, learn and compete on!
