How PlayTennisLA Connects You to Tennis Partners—Fast, Free, and Right in Your LA Neighborhood

Nothing derails your tennis mojo like showing up to Griffith Park or Hermon Park and finding no one to rally with—or worse, waiting for hours before scoring a match. With LA’s legendary traffic and sky-high demand for courts, finding a consistent tennis partner can feel like its own sport. That’s where PlayTennisLA flips the script, instantly connecting Angelenos to ready-to-play partners at their skill level, for free, and right in their backyard.

"The LA tennis scene has something for everyone, from beginners to advanced players. PlayTennisLA makes sure you actually find them—no matter where you live or play." – Local Tennis Coach

LA’s Partner Hunt—Solved in Seconds

PlayTennisLA is the city’s only free matchmaking service dedicated to tennis. The game-changer: instead of sifting through endless DMs and WhatsApp groups, you get real-time matches based on three things that matter most to LA players:

  • Skill level—from fresh beginners to tournament veterans
  • Your actual schedule—play mornings in Westchester or evenings in Highland Park
  • Neighborhood coverage—every LA pocket from Venice to Boyle Heights

Your LA Tennis Questions—Answered

  • Which LA parks have free tennis courts? Griffith Park, Hermon Park, and Cheviot Hills all have public courts. PlayTennisLA helps you see real-time availability and connect with partners ready to rally today.
  • Are there true indoor tennis courts in Los Angeles? Indoor options are extremely rare—most LA tennis happens outside, with weather a consideration but rarely a real barrier.
  • How do I find matches at my skill level? PlayTennisLA asks for your USTA ranking or self-rating, ensuring you don't get mismatched with someone out of your league—or not enough of a challenge.

Why LA’s Tennis Community Loves PlayTennisLA

The city’s tennis culture is fiercely social, but time and court space are precious. PlayTennisLA keeps community at the center, letting you turn a weeknight into a doubles showdown or a lazy Saturday into a ladder match—no matter your neighborhood.

  • No subscriptions or hidden fees—just sign up and start playing
  • Find partners instantly, even for same-day games
  • Make new friends and join post-game hangs in the Arts District or along the Westside

Take Your LA Tennis Game to the Next Level

Players across Los Angeles are ditching the group chats and wasted drives—PlayTennisLA is their shortcut to more tennis and less hassle. Whether you’re a Venice Beach serve-and-volleyer or a Cheviot Hills baseline warrior, this is the community-driven, free way to get more matches and meet your next tennis crew. Ready to play?

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!
