So many courts yet players always choose the one closest to the road with zero thought for the residents who have to endure hours of ball thwacking, groaning, heaving and cheering, as well as the occasional boom box and mad dog. It would also be lovely if car pooling was encouraged so that I could drive into my driveway on the weekend.
