Smash Your Search: Instantly Find Tennis Partners All Over LA with PlayTennisLA

Instantly Find Tennis Partners All Over LA with PlayTennisLA

Traffic won’t stop your next match, and neither will that group text that goes nowhere. Tennis lovers across Los Angeles are skipping the hassle and going straight to their next rally on PlayTennisLA.com, the city’s fastest, free way to connect with players at your level—anywhere from Santa Monica to Silver Lake.

"With PlayTennisLA, I found a doubles game in Koreatown the same afternoon I signed up. It's like having the whole LA tennis community in your pocket." – Sarah M., Echo Park

Why Finding Tennis Partners in LA is So Tough

Court time is at a premium in LA. Griffith Park’s public courts fill up at sunrise, and Westwood’s weekend schedule vanishes by midweek. Trying to sync schedules with friends or chase down a league match? Good luck—between LA traffic and variable weather, half the city’s texts end in rain-checks or missed connections.

  • Vast geography—driving from the Valley to Venice for a 90-minute hit is a real headache
  • Limited indoor tennis courts (true indoor courts are reportedly nearly nonexistent—most options are outdoor only)
  • Rapidly-booked reservations at public facilities like Palisades or Cheviot Hills
  • Diverse skill levels—tough to find the right fit if you’re new in town or returning after a break

PTLA is elite. The site is so easy to navigate and everyone on the site itself is awesome. I haven't had any other success on any other tennis apps and if you're in LA, this is basically the only one to be on if you want to find reliable and quality hitting partners.

PlayTennisLA has been an amazing experience so far! After moving to LA, I struggled to find tennis partners, but this website made it so I was playing with new people every week. The website's user-friendly platform helped me connect with other players, find courts, book sessions, and meet new tennis friends. It's been a game-changer for someone like me where I was able to find a consistent group of people around my level to play tennis with!
