I am taking classes but I would love to play more and get to know people who share my passion for the sport. Tennis is not the only sport I like...I am pretty much a sports junkie. I love watching and practicing sports. I have a pretty competitive mindset (I used to be a competitive swimmer) and I love challenges but most of all, I want to have fun playing!

    Hey Valeria, if you ever want to hit on the westside, let me know. I'm more of a hitter than a match-player, but I'm pretty competitive too.

    Very rusty. Probably a 3.5 at this point looking to play evenings somewhere near Venice beach.
