Disclaimer & Prologue
1.
I
do not want this to come off as complaining which not at all is my intent but is a constructive criticism
2. Staff at Plano Rec. Centers are very friendly & efficient.
3. Table
Tennis at various Plano recreation centers is quite good and far better than most
publicly owned Rec. Centers in North America but also hugely
under-achieving but for no apparent reason & not due to fault of any employees
or management but mostly dues to lack of general awareness or poor or lack of
communication between departments & unavoidable & expected inter-office
politics (here inter-sport or inter rec center politics and competing &
often conflicting priorities) in larger organization like Plano parks &
Rec.
4 In
all fairness most items I discuss below is not unique to Plano Rec Center only.
The situation is quite similar in every Rec center nationwide but Plano rec is
one of the best, if not the best rec centers in the country.
5.
I
am fully aware of the fact that there is some turnover of employees just like
any other business & training new people is always difficult when it is
hard to find resources
6. Compared to other sports tabletennis is a pain to setup & teardown. I am not aware of any other Rec center in North America where Rec. Center staff do this for the players. So players in Plano must be thankful for the work that Plano staff do at TMRC & Liberty by setting up & taking down tables week after week, as this is a thankless job
