    Hi Melissa,
    I do play at the Balboa courts quite often (I'm in West Hills) and evenings are great. Especially in the valley... Not that much fun to be on the courts in 104 deg heat.
    I'm 2.5/3.00 but most importantly love the game. I find it a great way to exercise.

    Cheers
    Laurent

    How are you?
    I actually played last night at 7PM @ Balboa courts. We must have crossed paths.
    Sure I wanna play. How about Thursday night. 7 pm is best for me but if you'd rather do 6, I'll arrange for it.
    We're better off making a reservation (I took a card) so let me know tonight if you can.

    During the week, I can play in the valley. I live in LA and don't drive to the valley unless it is to see my twin sisters family.

    Mon and Wed nights at 6 pm would work most of the time.


    Have a nice day,
    Melissa

    Hi Melissa ,

    I have joined the group recently , I used to play tennis and want to come back , recently I played and I guess I'm a 3.0 kinda rusty on the serve side but we can rally.
    I'm in Century City/ Rancho Park , but it will be ok for me to play somewhere in the west side. I can play on the weekends or around 7pm during the weekdays.
    pls email me if that sounds good to you.

    Hey Melissa! Looking to find a new tennis partner - someone to rally with - I've been playing since I was 8 and played Varisty in high school but haven't played the last few years - just getting back into it. Don't need to play with an expert but just trying to get the rust off - would love to hit sometime - let me know. I work for Warner Bros. in Burbank, but have my own hours so can play during the day or evenings as well as weekends.
    Looking forward to hearing from you.

    p.s. my email addy is Mansfield5200@aol.com
