Junior clinics, mixers and monthly tournaments expand as adult classes fill
Summary
Staff reported strong program attendance — junior clinics average about 130 players per month and popular mixers and 'Bump' programs routinely draw full participation; the commission approved starting monthly mixed-doubles tournaments in December.
Program staff (Speaker 2) summarized participation and program growth: weekend "Bump" programs draw 40–50 participants, Friday events draw 20–30, the junior pop club sees 15–20 players, and junior clinics average about 130 players per month across skill levels and including homeschool participants. Speaker 2 said the adult beginning program stays full and has a wait list.
Staff announced a new monthly mixed-doubles tournament beginning in December that will include food, drinks and music and will be trialed with the intention of repeating monthly if successful.
Commissioners and staff noted that programming demand strengthens the case for careful scheduling (block-time framework) and for continued monitoring of facility capacity as attendance grows.
Next steps: Staff will proceed with the December mixed-doubles event, continue tracking clinic attendance, and include program capacity considerations when drafting the block-time allocation framework.
