Bronxville partners with Elite Racquet Solutions for tennis, pickleball and paddle programs
Summary
The board heard a presentation from Elite Racquet Solutions, which has begun running court programs, launched a new reservation system and will start paddle clinics Nov. 3 as it seeks to grow permit-holder participation and community outreach.
Trustees introduced Elite Racquet Solutions as the village's new partner for tennis, pickleball and paddle programming.
Jim Palmer introduced the team and Trustee remarks noted they came highly recommended. Marylise Watts (introduced by the board) described operational changes since the group began this summer: "We implemented a new reservation system that is much more user friendly," she said, and reported running junior day camps, clinics and private lessons. Watts said paddle clinic sessions will begin Nov. 3 and that the group aims to increase permit-holder participation to generate revenue for facilities.
Lorenzo Machigioregi and Pablo Nunez, who were presented as lead pros, said they are excited to be part of the Bronxville community and to expand adult-education partnerships with the village adult school. Trustees and presenters discussed outreach channels (CourtReserve listings, the village recreation web page and social media), and suggested 'meet the pros' events to attract non-permit holders.
Why it matters: The vendor partnership updates programming for residents, introduces a new reservation workflow and commits to community outreach that could change usage levels of public courts and related revenues for facility upkeep.
