Summer weather can impact attendance, player energy, and even safety, especially for outdoor programs. Making a few thoughtful schedule adjustments can help keep your courts full while providing a better experience for everyone.
Consider moving leagues, clinics, or round robins to earlier mornings or later evenings when temperatures are lower. If daytime play is unavoidable, build short hydration breaks into your schedule and provide shaded rest areas whenever possible. Communicating weather expectations and heat-related policies in advance can also help your players arrive prepared.
A schedule that works with the season, and not against it, can lead to happier players, safe play, and smoother events.
