I agree there should be more player classes, I always attend them. I fill out the form at the end of class, saying how there should be more of these classes, and how good the class was. I don't know if it is lack of interest, or lack of instructors. There does appear to be one double period class this year, but this is hardly enough to warrant attendance. It would however fill in the blanks on some of your apparent misinformation.
