Game, Set, Match: Instantly Find Tennis Partners in LA with PlayTennisLA

Instantly Find Tennis Partners in LA with PlayTennisLA

Every Angeleno knows that nothing derails a perfect tennis afternoon faster than a last-minute cancellation or a search for an open court under the relentless SoCal sun. PlayTennisLA is changing the game, making it easier than ever to jump into a rally—no matter your zip code or skill level.

Cracking the Code for LA Tennis Players

From the packed doubles courts at Griffith Park to the hard-to-reserve city surfaces in Westwood and the hidden gems along the Valley, finding the right partner—at your level and nearby—has always been a headache. With LA’s patchwork of neighborhoods and infamous traffic, even veteran players struggle to keep a consistent crew on speed dial.

“Before PlayTennisLA, I spent more time texting around than actually playing. Now I find partners in my area in minutes, and the app even tells me when my favorite court in Echo Park has an open slot.” – Michael R., Silver Lake resident

Solving Everyday LA Tennis Challenges

LA’s tennis culture is notoriously vibrant but also competitive—both on the court and just getting a court. Weekends fill up fast, and the midday heat can turn a friendly match into a battle of stamina. Searching for phrases like "tennis partners near me" or "open LA tennis courts" used to mean scouring multiple websites and group chats.

  • Skill-level filtering ensures a great rally whether you’re a beginner or USTA veteran

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!
