    Hi Javaman!

    It's great to have you here! We have about 4 LA area groups going, look thru them and if none is in your area, start a new one. Have fun. Thanks for joining.

    --------------
    We are all very excited to have created this "community-based" tennis social network which puts the focus on the members. We launched Tennisopolis just three weeks ago, so you are a charter member. :-)

    To get started, please upload a photo or avatar for yourself (if you haven’t already.) Whether it's of you, your dog, your racquet it doesn't matter, but it helps people remember you. You can also personalize Your Page with pictures, links, RSS feeds, colors and more here.

    If you are looking to meet people for tennis matches, Look through the Groups or create a Group of your own and invite your tennis contacts. It's a good place to keep in touch with everyone in your circle.

    Tennisopolis is also a great place to network with people all across the country and talk about this game we love.

    Other places to explore:
    - come talk tennis in the forum
    - add your own photos
    - post your own blog entries.

    …and just hang out and meet great people.

    Welcome aboard,
    Mark

    Sorry man, can't do mornnings.

    I'm in the process of getting my drivers license and until I get it I think the court that is right in between us, La Cienega Tennis Center makes the most sense. Unfortunately it's one of the only courts accessible to me at the moment because I'll be on bike.

    interested in adding a (temporary) partner? My name is Michael and I'm visiting my folks in L.A. (Marina del Rey) though Valentines day...and would love to find some my partners (used to play high school tennis...and with my step-Dad here, but he's not too active these days...). Leave your contacts here (phone if possible) so I can reach you...

    Hope to hear from you,
    Michael

    P.S. - I have lots of available time...

    Cool, shall we do Friday at 5:30 at Plummer Park?

  • javaman

    Do you think we can do La Cienaga because Friday at 5 is it's going to be packed at Plummer where it’s first come first served where as in La Cienaga I can call and reserve a court?

    My take on my local courts.

    Plummer Park (323) 876 8180
    First come first serve during the week,
    can get crazy busy after 5.

    Poinsettia (323) 512 8234
    Good courts but you need to make reservation.
    It pays if you can only play after 5.

    La Cienaga (310) 550 4767
    GREAT courts but you need to make reservation.
    It pays if you can only play after 5.

    Fairfax HS
    Very ghetto and it’s hit or miss if they are opened or not.
