The JCC in Los Gatos is where you go to if you want to be demeaned and disrespected if you are a tennis player. While they have tennis facilities, it is deemed to be not worthy of the JCC's responsibilities of cleanliness, maintenance, or such.

Example issues:
- The courts are so dirty that even the public courts seem shiny and clean
- Health hazards abound in the form of bird and rodent feces splattered all over the courts and benches
- Leaves all over the courts in Fall which remain there as a hazard to playing, as the courts are never cleaned
- When lights get fused it takes months (in plural) to fix, after multiple folks requesting multiple times each
- Staff makes up stories to insinuate and bring down tennis players; staff is openly disrespectful to players, eg. Erin who takes it upon herself to humiliate tennis players
- Broken nets take months of complaining to fix/replace. The last time the nets were replaced, they were left hanging lower than the requisite height and it took the staff many months (in plural) to fix the heights of the nets

The two biggest issues to highlight are: (a) it feels really icky and unhealthy to play at the courts because of the amount of bird and rodent poop on the courts and on the benches, (b) on every complaint through the last few years to the leadership there is an answer (a lie to ward us off) that the issue will be taken care of (for example, wash the court), but it never ever gets done.
