Level Up Your Game: PlayTennisLA.com Is LA’s Free Fast Lane to Tennis Partners
It’s a Saturday morning in Silver Lake. The sun’s already heating up the asphalt, and all you want is a solid tennis match before the courts fill up. You text your old partner—busy. You scan your group chat—no response. Finding a tennis partner in Los Angeles can feel tougher than winning a tiebreak at the Griffith Park courts. That’s exactly why PlayTennisLA.com (PTLA) is causing a buzz among Angelenos craving instant matches—because it’s free, local, and lightning-fast.
No More Court-Hunting Headaches
LA’s tennis scene is legendary—think Cheviot Hills Recreation Center, Mar Vista’s public courts, and the iconic grounds of the Los Angeles Tennis Club in Hancock Park. Yet, with over fourteen percent of California’s courts packed into Greater LA and a tennis boom crowding even the Beverly Hills and Westwood facilities, matching up by skill and location can be tough for anyone—from Venice Beach regulars to Glendale beginners.
PlayTennisLA.com answers the call. The platform instantly matches players by neighborhood and USTA rating (or casual skill), so you don’t have to spam texts or hope for a stranger at Pan Pacific Park. Best of all? It’s free—no membership fees, and no lengthy application process like some of LA’s exclusive clubs.
"It took me less than two minutes to meet a new hitting partner in Echo Park, and now we hit three times a week—zero hassle, all fun." – Marcus A., PTLA member

Success Stories from the LA Courts
South LA’s Rosa, a self-described beginner, credits PlayTennisLA.com with getting her on court at Rancho Cienega within hours of joining. "I was nervous to show up alone, but PTLA paired me with another rookie—now we’re regulars," she says. Meanwhile, in Westwood, digital marketer Jay needed 4.0-level singles competition. A same-day match at UCLA’s Sunset Canyon courts led to a new tennis crew and a string of close sets that kept his game sharp.
