High School Tennis Players could play on the High School Campus

Aaron Sugarman points out that the high school can build their own courts on their property with the following advantages:

1. Eliminate transportation/safety issues to Flamingo, Polo Park, Normandy, etc..
2. On-site locker rooms, showers, etc.
3. Intramural and "gym class" use of tennis courts
4. Plenty of parking for tournament games
5. Upgrades the high school with its own 5 courts
6. Preserves greenspace and existing tennis footprint at Flamingo Park
7. Preserves clay courts for regular tennis players and MBTPA
8. Uses County/School land for seasonal school use
9. Uses County/School funds for county/school use

He and Tammy Tibbles have collaborated on an analysis of the school property and develped an image that suggests that the Tennis Courts will fit!

See the image through the following link:   Campus Tennis Courts

Aaron makes the following observation --
Tammy helped me mock-up an aerial photo showing 5 tennis courts at the high school athletic field.  I do not know if the measurements are exactly to scale, but my crude analysis leads me to speculate that 4-5 courts might fit at the north end of the field.
