Attendance at Women’s Tennis Matches
By: Brett Carlson and Jackson WrightSlide2
Issue: Women’s Tennis Attendance
Recent
conference champions
who went to the state playoffs.
They are led by coach Pratt who is an AP Human Geography teacher.
We chose women’s tennis because they need help promoting their team and attracting new fans to come to their games. Slide3
Identify Problem
The
attendance at women’s tennis matches is very low
and people have no desire to watch them.
They don’t promote their games
to the students as well as other sports.Our purpose of research is to figure out who goes to women’s tennis matches and why. Knowing this will help us determine how to help out the team.
We want to know the reason why people don’t go to AK women’s tennis matches
and why they go to other teams’
games. This will help us
determine how we can improve AK women’s
tennis attendance

us information on the lower attendance of women sports and information on the Ardrey Kell
women’s tennis teams.Slide7
Analyze Data
From the data we can conclude that most people do not attend the tennis matches because there is
not a strong student social presence
at the tennis matches and if there was there would be more students there. Also we can conclude that there
must be some incentive
for students to start going to the matches to get others to come also. Some facts that stood out33% of the surveyed students said they attend tennis matches the least out of any of the sports.67% of the students said they would attend tennis matches more if there were prizes or if more people went
VanVeen said that only about 10 people go to the tennis matches and most of them are parentsThe team was 17-2 and still not many students wentNot only our school,
many female sports organizations have trouble getting attendance
compared to male sports organizationsSlide8
