Why finding tennis partners in LA is harder than it should be
LA has thousands of tennis players, but good luck finding someone who matches your skill level AND your schedule
Connect with 1000+ active players
Why the old ways don't work
The problem isn't lack of players—it's that traditional methods only reach a tiny fraction of them. Most players end up stuck with the same few people or playing alone.
The real problem
Posting on court bulletin boards reaches maybe 20 people. Asking around your local club gets you the same familiar faces. Most LA tennis players never see these posts, and timing rarely aligns.
The result? You miss out on the diverse, active tennis community that LA has to offer. There's a better way to connect with players who match your schedule and skill level.
5 strategies that actually work
Tennis apps: Find players who are available

Modern apps like Doyouplay connect you based on skill level, location, and real availability. Filter by rating, see who's free, chat before meeting.

Join clubs like LA Tennis Club or Riviera Country Club for access to a steady player base. Higher upfront cost but delivers consistent partners.
