54W 30LKris is strong and needs to play at 4.5 or he will totally dominate this year at 4.0

To whom is may concern

Last year was my first year to play Appl league. What a blast! I would like the Appl league to consider holding my Appl rating at 4.0 for one more season. I definitely had success when our team figure out who played well with who, but by no means was I the strongest player on my team and my partners and myself were competitive not dominant in the league at 4.0.
I’m the chair parson of our clubs rating committee, we have 490 members, we rated 128 members last year. I would rate myself a 4.3
I was probably the 4 or fifth best guy on my men’s team but the only one to get bumped up by Appl, on my mixed team I played with a very strong gal for most of the season and she was not the typical gal you would target unless you wanted the ball right back, We also have 65 and up 4.5 Appl team out of sunlakes and I can’t hang very well with those guys.
I consider myself a student of the sport and don’t need to win games to feel good about my progress, but I do feel I have a bit to learn at the 4.0 level for one more year. That all said I would be willing to play 4.5 but I am really struggling to find a men’s and mixed team. Playing Appl league last year was the high light of my Pickleball experiences so far and I learn more and made more friends in the short season than all my time combined anywhere else. I really just want to be on a men’s and mix team this coming season.
Thank you for your consideration
