Santa Monica Tennis Center

Santa Monica Tennis Center runs adult tennis programs on courts in and around Santa Monica, with classes structured around NTRP skill ratings so beginners are not overwhelmed and intermediate players are actually challenged. Their liveball format is the most popular offering, a 90-minute to two-hour session that mixes drilling with continuous point play so you are always working on something real rather than hitting static balls from a basket. Instructors are PTR and USPTA certified, and the center offers group clinics, private lessons, and a stringing service for players who want to tune their equipment at the same time.
