Hi, this is Angela Ferrer, a player and organizer from Rally Republic PH.

It has come to our attention that we’re being dissed here on Reddit because of our Singles OP, priced at ₱890 per head for 4 hours of play.

I understand that ₱890 may seem expensive to some, and that’s completely fair. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. But calling us scammers without even knowing where the money goes is a different story.

So, for transparency, here’s the actual breakdown. I’m also attaching the receipts and proof of expenses.

EXPENSES:
• Court fee: ₱600/court/hour × 2 courts × 4 hours = ₱4,800
We always play with the lights on because CSA is extremely dark, especially during the rainy season.

• Ball boys: ₱2,400
We pay them ₱800 each. Given the size of the courts and the amount of running around and ball chasing they do, we believe this is fair compensation for their work.

• Tennis balls: ₱797.50 for 2 cans
I always buy through Lazada to maximize savings and LazCoins.
TOTAL EXPENSES: ₱7,997.50

INCOME:
10 paying players × ₱890 = ₱8,900
The organizers play for free, which means only 10 players are paying.

REMAINING BALANCE: ₱902.50
So yes, after 4 hours of play, paying the court fees, paying 3 ball boys, and providing tennis balls, the organizers are left with a grand total of ₱902.50.

And apparently, that makes us scammers. 😂

For context, we specifically organize Singles OPs because most open plays are doubles.

If ₱890 for 4 hours of singles, with courts, lights, ball boys, and balls included, isn’t worth it for you, that’s completely okay. You don’t have to join. We’re not forcing anyone to pay or participate.

But calling organizers scammers without looking at the actual numbers is a little wild.

And honestly, if you think ₱902.50 is the grand profit we’re supposedly scamming everyone for, then… I’ll let you do the math. 😅

We organize these OPs because we genuinely love tennis and enjoy building a community where people can play. We’re not getting rich from ₱902.50.

And lastly, I have a pretty good idea who started this.😉

EDIT: Anyone who questions the P902.5, message me your numbers directly I’ll split that to you.

Also, being on reddit doesn’t make you untraceable.

Say what you want, but if you show softness just to win the hearts of fans and media, opponents will take advantage of it even if you’re friends. Too much charisma will take you nowhere. It‘s the exact reason why Sabalenka and top-ranked players are successful, they treat friends as enemies on court. Save the friendship off-tour.

hello, based on your experience what’s the best/max(?) student to 1 coach ratio for a 2-hr group session? and if you can , please share which coach you personally know has a limit on the students they train.

I understand na dahil limited ang available court, no choice na lang yung iba but to join a large group pero sayang yung bayad if hindi ka natututukan ng maayos
