I coach and play beach volleyball here in Bozeman and we need more sand courts for this
growing sport.
I coach 50+ kids between the ages of 10-18. Many have collegiate aspirations and the limitedavailability is a problem. I have been renting the courts at Glen Lake from the City for the past
3 years. Ideally I rent them from 4-6pm but due to very high demand from the community Iget a lot of dirty looks, comments, and threats from the inebriated adults wishing to use the
courts at the same time. I have thus moved my rental time to mornings in the summer to thedismay of many of our teenage players.
As for the adults, we have also had to be early birds in order to avoid the more ruckus crowds
wishing to use the courts as well.
Please approve this budget for more park utilization!
Thank you!
