Are they proposing to leave the floodlights on permanently? This strikes me as unlikely, especially if the court is owned by a club.

I agree it cannot be concluded that lights on at night causes crime, but what I do believe is so - that having lights on at night definitely makes the job easier. When it is pitch black at night a crime is harder to do, as lights ie a torch is needed, which is easily seen and will alert others of an intruder in the vicinity.
No one likes getting caught.
