It's ok to point out when a business isn't interested in serving your demographic any more. Getting rid of two full basketball courts, parties, and camps and replacing all those things with an activity for senior citizens is factually what is happening. [/quote]

Seniors are the only ones who play pickle ball. Maybe it's you behind the times and out of touch?[/quote]

At night, at lifetime, only Senior Citizens play pickleball. Perhaps, during the workday, the pickleball court is a just teeming with athletic 20-somethings. I am working so I could not say. [/quote]

So, you're not at the gym in the morning or afternoon but you know how all the facilities and offerings of the gym are being utilized and by whom? The gym needs to listen to you for your limited data and knowledge to make financial decisions? The vast majority of kids are never available during the day so should the kid offerings just sit there empty waiting for school to let out? Guaranteed there are adults there at all hours of the day. Kids are few in number with limited availability for most of the year. Whose needs would you rather meet if you cared about the bottom line?[/quote]

What most people seem to be agreeing on is for there to be pickleball all day long while the old people are out and about, and then switch it over to basketball once its Early Bird Special time and kids are out of school. That seems like a good way to maximize use for two different groups of customers. [/quote]

What they had been doing was taking one full court and turning it into 4 pickleball courts. The other full court was for basketball, parties, giant exercise classes and what have you. It seemed to be working well although when we were there, there were many more people waiting to play basketball than were playing pickleball. They decided to rip out all of the courts and completely get rid of everything but pickleball. That's the bizarre part.[/quote]
