Thank you for keeping this important discussion going Patricio Misitrano. You are absolutely correct in recognizing not only how critical the performance side of compensation is to the DoR, but in our view many DoR's are selling themselves short in not being compensated for other metrics that have a huge impact on the value they are creating for the club! We have been surprised at how little critical metrics such as membership court utilization (the number of members using courts compared to the number of hours the courts are available) and engagement by demographics (the % of each critical demographic are using the facilities in a given time period) are discussed and how essential they are to a sustainable membership culture. My colleague Kyle LaCroix USPTA, PTR, RPT, GPTCA, MBA, M.Ed and the people at SETS Consulting have been tracking these & other metrics and know how important they are to a healthy sustainable club environment. #privateclub #countryclub #tennis #pickleball #padel #racquetsportoperationalmetrics #CCMA #CMAA #courtutilization #engagement #valueadded

The road of Zone 4 winning the team events : actually it’s kind of pretty sad we didn’t get to play against all zones like previous years BCWG team events, but probably it’s also for the best in the term of making the interest in the badminton sport in BC getting higher. We had to play bracket draw to decide 2 levels of Tier, the 2 zones who wins the semifinal stage gets to go to tier 1, and the zones that loses had to play against each other to make the 3rd team into tier 1, and the zones that loses goes into Tier 2 and Tier 1 and Tier 2 play the they own round robin stage to get the medals. So Basically the medals also have to different Tier Level. Before winning the Gold Medal level Tier 1, Zone 4 had to play twice against Zone 6 and once against zone 5, zone 4 we won 2 times vs Zone 6 with nail bitting matches with score 3-2 for both match ups, and won 4-1 vs Zone 5, Hence the medal positions in Tier 1 is, 🥇Zone 4 🥈Zone 6 🥉Zone 5

Brands are doing more tennis activations for several reasons: 1. Global Audience and Demographics: Tennis has a large, diverse, and global fan base that spans various age groups and socioeconomic classes. This wide appeal allows brands to reach a broad audience. 2. New Product Innovation: For so long brands only thought that 4 players could only be on court at once. Now with things like Cardio Tennis, Liveball, and other programming, you can fit 15-20 people on one court. This increases on-site brand reach like never before. 3. Engagement Opportunities: Tennis activations offer various engagement opportunities, including on-site experiences, digital campaigns, and social media interactions, allowing brands to create immersive and interactive marketing strategies. Pairing on court with digital strategies creates a very unique reach for brands and products. Again, this is an amazing example from Free People & PlayYourCourt on a best in class way to do this.

🎾SiamSportsPro uses the ITF’s International Tennis Number (ITN). Knowing your ITN Level helps you book the right sessions for your skill level. 💪 ✨This is a rating system from 10.3 to 1, ITN 10.3 being a new ‘STARTER’ to tennis and an ITN 1 being an ‘ELITE’ professional. The ITN is broken down into 5 levels; 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Starter (ITN 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3) This first level ensures that any player, whatever their level, can have an ITN. The ITN 10.1 to 10.3 categories will usually involve playing in a modified environment e.g. using the slower Red, Orange and Green balls, on a smaller court and / or using adapted rackets as appropriate. 🌟🌟🌟🌟Recreational (10 - 8) Recreational is the first level where players can rally and compete with yellow balls. Often in need of more practice to develop better understanding of where to stand and improve on their anticipation of situations. 🌟🌟🌟Intermediate (7 - 5) The middle level of the ITN normally has the highest quantity of players, and also a group of players varying technical abilities, but have similar competitive levels in match play. The development of all 4 pillars of tennis reminds of it's importance in this level (TECHNICAL, TACTICAL, PHYSICAL & MENTAL). 🌟🌟Advanced (4 - 3) This level is often where more experienced and physically fitter players find themselves. These are the best players at the club, and normally are competing on a weekly basis internally against other Advanced players from the club, and in local/national tournaments. 🌟Elite ( 1) The best of the best nationally and the top player/s of the club. Elite players are capable of holding an ITF/ATP/WTA ranking. 📖You can read more about ITN levels in this blog post on our website https://zurl.co/ktvL 😬If you are not sure what your level is, our coaches will gladly assist you. ❤️Like, share and comment below what is your ITN level 🎾 #siamsportspro #tennisacademy #tennisphuket #phukettennis #thailandtennis #phuketthailand #tennisplayer #tennislife #phukett #tennisacademythailand #tennislesson
