Instant Tennis Matches: How PlayTennisLA Connects LA Players Fast

How PlayTennisLA Connects LA Players Fast

Craving a rally under the Californian sun but tired of unreliable group texts and last-minute cancellations? LA's vast tennis scene, from Westwood to Silver Lake, is teeming with courts and players—but finding a compatible match can feel as tough as breaking into a top-tier tennis club. Welcome to PlayTennisLA, the free, local game-changer helping Angelenos match and play instantly across the city.

Why Finding Tennis Partners in LA Can Be Tough

Los Angeles boasts hundreds of public tennis courts, from the iconic Griffith Park and Poinsettia Courts to the busy Westchester Tennis Center. But open courts can be elusive during peak hours, and local players often juggle packed schedules and daunting commutes. The city’s outdoor culture means year-round play—but also fierce competition for evening slots as soon as the weather warms up. Add LA traffic and flakey group chats, and many tennis hopefuls find themselves endlessly searching "how to find tennis partners near me" or "best LA tennis courts with available players."

PlayTennisLA: The Free Solution for Every Skill Level

PlayTennisLA solves these hurdles by instantly connecting you with nearby players who match your skill, schedule, and even your preferred neighborhood. With thousands of users ranging from beginners to seasoned competitors, the platform makes scheduling a match as easy as sending a DM—and it’s completely free right now.

"I used to spend weeks looking for reliable partners. With PlayTennisLA, I found two regulars in my neighborhood in a single afternoon—now we rotate between Cheviot Hills and Westwood every week." — Michelle, Silver Lake 4.0 player

In the short time I've used Doyouplay. I've set up more play dates than with the previous paid apps I'd used previously. The site is intuitive and easy to navigate. The community is super positive and supportive. It's now my go to matchmaking Tennis site.

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.

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!
