Actually, the guy said that was a concern as other lights had been broken in other places; I told him that we took care of our courts and responded to residents’ complaints, tried not to over-use them etc - [BTW: he mentioned all the things that we are picking out as being in our favour too. No close residents, light pollution not a significant problem etc..]
I have just had a quick go on-court & the surface is quite slippy due to the paint. It very easily picks up skidmarks [Don't know if that's a problem for the managers]. Also the recessed goals are not fully attached, so balls can pass through occasionally, but a few bags should mitigate that pretty well.
I would wager that these will probably be well-used courts, and therefore we should "stake our claim" early and let the other users/kids get used to us showing up. Just to get the ball rolling, if we want to use the court and reply to this dude - how does Tue, Thurs & Sat until 11:30, sound to everyone?
