*Un workshop gratuito con il metodo LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY® per riflettere insieme e confrontarci su come gestire il mio tempo privato e lavorativo: Abitudini, rischi, prospettive* Il laboratorio sarà dedicato a esplorare il modo in cui ciascuno di noi gestisce il rapporto tra vita privata e lavoro. Attraverso costruzione e condivisione i partecipanti saranno accompagnati a riconoscere abitudini, bisogni e priorità personali, mettendo in luce rischi e opportunità delle diverse modalità organizzative. **Sul metodo LEGO® SERIOUS PLAY®** È una metodologia che favorisce la riflessione, la comunicazione, il problem-solving e il decision-making; attraverso l’utilizzo dei mattoncini LEGO®, è in grado di coinvolgere i partecipanti nella costruzione di cose/modelli che rappresentano metaforicamente i loro pensieri, le loro conoscenze, le loro capacità. Un approccio capace di affrontare e risolvere problemi complessi e a sbloccare le menti, spingendo i partecipanti ad abbandonare la propria zona di comfort, introdurre elementi di discontinuità, a confrontarsi in modo aperto e costruttivo con gli altri. Facilita il workshop Cristina Polidori **Cristina Polidori** Porto in azienda strategie formative didattiche e a scuola tecniche formative aziendali. Mi occupo di crescita e consapevolezza, perché credo che la formazione sia lo strumento più potente per vivere autenticamente, a qualsiasi età. Progetto percorsi di sviluppo personale e professionale, perché desidero contribuire a creare persone libere di scegliere, capaci di comprendere sé stesse e gli altri, pronte a immaginare e costruire il futuro. Sperimento dinamiche formative che allenino assertività, gratitudine e visione, perché chi si forma diventa esempio e genera benessere nei team, nelle famiglie, nelle organizzazioni. Credo nel cambiamento consapevole, perché quando una persona modifica il proprio approccio, non trasforma solo la propria vita: trasforma anche quella di chi le sta accanto.

**How does a TennisColumbus Season / League run?** The league advertises the season dates and builds a queue of committed players for the season. **Kickoff Day - June 10th** The start day of the season, players are sent a kickoff email that contains important information about the league, the link where your league standings and players contact information. We guarantee 6 playing partners at your playing level, but have been averaging closer to 15+ partners in most cities. The number of different levels we run is solely based upon the number of players enrolled for the league kickoff. Typically we are running a Skilled-3.0, Competitive-3.5 and Advanced-4.0 in most cities. **Your Task - "Flexible Scheduling"** After this kickoff email is sent, it is the **player's task to communicate with other players**. Players should work with their partners to find an agreeable time and location to play the match. While TennisColumbus doesn't mandate your playing schedule, it is recommended that players schedule at least one match per week. By request of the players, we started to allow players to play 1 rematch per season. The regular season is all about playing as much as you can. As of Feb. 10, 2026 we've had an amazing 2,017 players play more than [20 matches in a season](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/MatchesInSeason). **Where to Play?** Play at your local free tennis courts, tennis parks, condo courts or tennis clubs. The league strongly suggests that players jointly try to pick a tennis court location convenient to both. We provide an extensive list of [tennis courts](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/TennisCourts), including # of courts, lighting, hitting walls, etc. We strive to keep this list up-to-date. TennisColumbus sets up a must play dates to push players out on the courts. The final deadline is the date marking the end of the season, at which point players with 3-5 wins (Actually total is specified on the division page) will qualify for a post-season playoff to determine the league champion. **How to Play?** Players can use three mostly standard playing formats: 2 out of 3 sets, 2 sets with 10 point super tie-breaker or the 10-game pro set (First to 10, used when court time is limited). On Feb. 2018, we added Fast Tennis 4 game pro set format as a valid format. **Playoffs** Each season concludes with a playoffs where players with anywhere from 3 to 5 season wins qualifies for a single elimination tourney. The champion is awarded based upon the league [Prize Pool](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/info/prize_pool3). Each singles league champion also receives a playing entry into one of two national championships we run. **[JOIN TODAY](https://www.tenniscolumbus.com/join)** Full price is $39.95 to play in a season.
