Find Tennis Partners, Fast: PlayTennisLA.com Supercharges LA’s Social Game

PlayTennisLA.com Supercharges LA’s Social Game

405 gridlock, silent group chats, and the relentless search for an available court—every LA tennis fan knows the struggle. In a city where Griffith Park courts fill before sunset and local leagues waitlist for weeks, finding a partner who fits your game and your calendar can feel tougher than breaking a tie-break. PlayTennisLA.com flips the script, letting Angelenos connect instantly for tennis—free, citywide, and on your schedule.

"Finding people to play with around you in Los Angeles is now super easy. Our free platform helps you find the perfect hitting partner, no matter your skill level." – PlayTennisLA Team

Why LA Tennis Players Needed a Better Way

Los Angeles boasts some of the country’s best public tennis options—from the bustling 18 outdoor courts at Griffith Park to neighborhood favorites like Cheviot Hills and Poinsettia Recreation Center. But with over 1,295 open courts tracked citywide, even die-hard tennis lovers face challenges:

  • Court availability: Popular spots like Westwood and Rancho Park fill up fast, especially after work hours and on weekends.
  • SoCal sun: LA weather is nearly perfect, but midday heat can turn even the hardiest players away. Early morning and twilight spots are gold.
  • Traffic & geography: LA’s vast sprawl and infamous traffic turn a quick match into an afternoon commitment when partners live across town.
  • Skill matchups: Without filtering by level, matches can end up one-sided and unsatisfying.

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.
