I'm from Austin, Tx and we have a pretty cool ladder set up here. There are quite a few people who play on it and it's only $10 a year to join so it's a pretty sweet deal. I have been playing on the ladder for a little less than a year and love it.
I only have one gripe. Lately, there has been an influx of juniors who are joining the ladder. Most of these juniors are in middle school and around the 4.5 level. I'm all for juniors getting better and playing as many matches as they can, I just think that there are other ways to do so than join a mostly adult ladder. Personally, I don't like playing juniors. First off, I dislike having to communicate through their parents to set up a match. Secondly, in my experience, juniors have immature on court behaviors that can make it awkward on the adult to play them, especially with their parents watching. I just think the atmosphere of 4.5 adult tennis doesn't mix with 4.5 junior tennis.
Is my complaint justified or do I need to quit whining and deal with it?
