More Tennis Courts Will Be Available to the Public

They will train national squads at the Kallang Tennis Hub and make schedules to free up courts for the public.
This will make more courts available at the Kallang Tennis Hub and other sports centers for people to book.
This change is happening after a man named Mr. Leslie Ng posted a video about how hard it is to book public tennis courts.
Mr. Ng said it is very difficult to book public courts in Singapore and not everyone has a court in their condo.
People are competing for the use of public courts.
Mr. Ng said that the Singapore Tennis Association often books courts but does not use them.
He thinks that if they are not using the courts, they should make them available to others.
A tennis coach named Christabelle Ong also said that she has seen empty courts that she could not book online.
She thinks that if the courts are not being used, they should be released for others to book.
It is better to release the courts than to leave them empty.
The organizations involved will work together to make sure that people have access to sports facilities.
A news agency asked the Singapore Tennis Association for more information about their court bookings.
Mr. Ng said that the issue of court bookings is not new, but he was surprised by how many people reacted to his video.
He said that people are frustrated with the current system and that there needs to be a change.
To solve the problem, the number of cancellations and no-shows could be limited to prevent abuse.
Mr. Ng thinks that Singapore should use its resources better because it is a small country.
