Man am I happy I came across this shop. I was looking for a racket for my mom's birthday. Not only did they have an excellent selection, but they hooked me up with a great Babolat for an excellent price (much more expensive at regular retail stores). I was in a bit of a rush, and they strung my racket on the spot. So, as if service wasn't stellar enough, they even customized the racket with my mom's name engraved. Needless to say, I'll be coming back here for all of mine and my family's tennis essentials. read more

First Serve Tennis - Birthday Babolat - Sporting Goods Near Me - Valencia, California

10/10 Tennis shop, gave them a challenge with a vintage Yamaha, they delivered of course & have everything necessary, happy with the quality of product along with top tier service, this is go to tennis shop near the Antelope Valley or SCV, will continue to come here for service and will be recommending!!! read more

I lived in SCV for quite some time, and it was my first time finding this gem of a place. I needed to get my racket re-strung and re-gripped, so I thought Dick's Sporting Goods was my only choice (RIP Sport Chalet). I wanted to see if there was a more "dedicated" tennis shop in SCV, and I found this place through Yelp. For first timers, please note you do have to go "inside" the Paseo Club. I don't have membership, but I was able to go in. Just let the receptionist know you are headed to First Service Tennis. I was greeted by Francis, who was extremely helpful in recommending what I should do, and what the proper racket for my 10-year-old daughter would be. I thought he was extremely knowledgeable on the subject, and even fairer when it came to pricing out the repairs + new racket. I will absolutely be coming here for *all* my tennis racket needs. Thank you for the great first time experience! read more

It was my first time visiting First Serve Tennis for my racket restring, and Francis was really nice. He also got my racket done by the promised time. Totally recommended! read more

Great local tennis and pickleball shop with a focus on customer service while being truly convenient. I have been a customer for over 10 years including the previous location. It is wonderful to support a small local business for your sport needs. read more

Had a great experience at the tennis shop. Although i'm not a member of their club, they were happy to help me get my racquet re-strung. Francis was very nice and provided great service offering me advice on strings. Very easy to work with and recommend to anyone for their tennis needs. read more

Kinda disappointed. Tried to check out the shop before work but wasn't able to. Store signs, automated voicemail and the staff at The Paseo Club all said 9am. It's now 9:26 and no signs of life. Another staff member who was passing by asked if I was waiting for the shop to open. I said yes and she laughed and said they're always late. How late I wonder? 30min seems like a long time and if staff members know this... seems like it's bad habit. Hopefully they're open on my lunch break which is at 2pm. read more

First time shopper. They have a great selection of equipment. Frances was great. Very knowledgeable and friendly. It is my new go to store. Hands down Frances provides the best customer service anywhere! read more

Great place . I really recommend this place! Owner Frances was very knowledgeable and helpful. I'm glad that I find a this place. read more

Came in for the first time to have my old racket restrung. Both of the employees there were very helpful and welcoming, and they explained everything very well! read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable owner. Great customer service. More concerned with providing you with the right product than making a sale. Highly recommend for purchasing your tennis gear. read more

I am so glad I found this local tennis shop on Yelp. The customer service, prices and selection of shoes and racquets is great. The staff is highly knowledgable, personable and helpful. I came in with the intention to try on shoes, in particular the Nike Zoom Tour 9.5. I was semi deterred by the price tag ($140 same as online), so Bryan "the shoe guy" recommended shoes more in my budget. I settled on the Adidas Barricade. I initially liked the feel, but when I got home and walked around in them I realized I didn't love them. (A bit too much cushioning and bulk for me). I brought the Adidas back and Bryan gave me a full refund. He again showed me more options. I loved the Nikes the most and decided it was worth it. And after playing in them a couple of times, I know I made the right choice. I will definitely be back!! Thanks First Serve Tennis! read more

First Serve Tennis - Love my new Nikes!! - Sporting Goods Near Me - Valencia, California

I came here to regrip my racquet and the workers here are so nice they explained what was wrong and how they can fix it for a super affordable price. Super polite and the store was easy to find inside the paseo club lobby. Not only was it affordable they were able to get it done super fast. read more

I bought a Gearbox racquetball racquet and thought it was the wrong grip size as it felt noticeably big in my hand. Little did I know that apparently there's some built-in plastic insert in the grip that nobody told me about. Anyway, I stopped by First Serve and Jake took it apart, removed the insert and I was back out the door in 10 minutes. Jake stopped what he was doing to help me out and I really appreciate it. My boyfriend has been taking his racquets here for several years and they've never let him down, either! Thanks Jake! read more

Best tennis pro shop around. Very reasonable / competitive prices. Great knowledgeable service and speed. Francis is an excellent owner/operator and has a great staff. Highly recommend if you're in the area or need new strings/gear/rackets! read more

My review is way overdue. My son has gotten couple of his racket and has had them strung here. Owner is humble and remembers his customers. Nice and courteous. Gives a small town feeling of gratitude for the business. Appreciate this in a city where some can be snobbish. read more

Top-notch quality customer service at this place. I came in about an hour before closing and Todd informed me that the shop stops stringing for the day by this time. In trying to find a time that I could pick up my racket the following day, I explained to him my work schedule would only allow me to make it barely by or a bit after 6PM. Realizing they would be closing exactly at 6 on that particular day, Todd decides he will make an exception and string my racket right then and there. To make matters even more challenging for him, a few customers come in just as he starts stringing my racket. I should also mention Todd was the only one manning the shop at this time; so the way he handled the situation of three different customers' needs and transactions simultaneously is nothing short of impressive. After attending to each customer, he finished stringing my racket and I was out the door in no time. If you need professional, yet tremendously courteous and personable assistance for your tennis needs, I highly recommend checking this store out. And a super cool plus in my book: they accept Apple Pay! read more

I can't tell you how many times I've left places like Big 5 (sorry for the name drop) disappointed because of their poor tennis selection and lack of customer service, so one of my tennis buddies told me about First Serve and I was more than excited to check it out. I never knew there was a store in my area dedicated to tennis! I walked in and was immediately impressed... Like that moment when Belle walks into the library for the first time. I found exactly what I was looking for and the girl that was working there was completely helpful! I'm definitely making this place my go-to for all my gear! Super easy to find, plenty of parking, helpful staff, great selection read more

Francis and Todd are very knowledgeable and make sure you are comfortable with your gear to play your best. I bought my second Babolat Pure Aero and Babolat bag here, and this is my go to location for racquet restringing. They take a lot of pride in why they do, and their customer service is phenomenal. I have great trust in them that my racquet is match ready, and they play a huge role in my success on the court. Thanks again, Francis and Todd! read more

Came in and needed stringing , owner did it the same day and was really helpful with all my questions , didn't upsell me , and friendly ! Great service and competitive prices , would definitely come again ! read more

I popped into this shop to get my racket re-strung and Francis was so friendly. He helped me pick out the strings and even a matching color grip. I had a few questions about what his recommendations were and he was very professional but also easy to talk to. They said it would only take a few hours so I picked up my racket later that day. It felt like a brand new racket with a little pizzazz (Picked out hot pink strings and grip). The stringing was done very well. Todd helped me on my way out and was just as friendly as Francis. Great local tennis shop and will definitely be coming back here!! read more

Went in on my lunch break to just look at some racquets and walked out buying a new one. Francis was very informative and helpful. Really appreciated all his help with finding the right racquet for me. He even strung the racquet for me on the spot and his prices can't be beat. Will definitely be going back for my tennis needs. read more

Jake was so helpful and kind. We brought him two rackets that needed new grips and to be restrung but we weren't quite sure exactly what kind of grip or strings to get because we haven't played for long. Jake was so patient with us as he answered our questions and helped us figure out what grips and strings would be best for us. We will definitely be returning for all of our tennis needs. read more

Been a few times now getting accessories and racquet maintenance. Very nice shop with great selection of product. Always gotten great advice, good work and friendly service. If you have questions and tired of doing things online give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more

Excellent. The owner was very helpful and honest. They won't try to push something on you if you don't need it or if you're not at that level yet. Highly recommend this place. 10/10! read more

Hey, I am a complete amateur when it comes to tennis, but the guys at First Serve treat me like a pro. I love supporting local business and First Serve gets my support every time. read more

First Service is the only place I take my rackets to get strung. They have great service, great advise and great overall experience. Prices are great and Francis is very helpful. Definitely would recommend any tennis player to shop at First Serve Tennis! read more

Love this local business! Great at knowing your needs as a return customer and helping you find the right equipment. They even had size 11 shoes for women! The owner said that was because one of the high school girls in the valley needed that size and he liked to have a few in stock for her. That's the kind of shop this is - very aware of what customers need and going above and beyond to help you out. Thanks! read more

So impressed! I called First Serve yesterday morning (10/3/13) from Hawaii, where I live, after reading about Francis in a Santa Clarita paper on the Internet. My daughter, a freshman at CSUN, plays her first official match as a Matador today (10/4/13) at Long Beach, with just one racquet in her bag. She recently switched from Wilson to Babolat and the racquet shipment ordered by her coach is delayed. Francis understood immediately. Not only did he have the new Babolat AeroPro Drive in stock , it was priced at $20 less the the internet retailers. When I asked him about getting it to her in Northridge, he replied (and I'm not exaggerating), "I know Coach Gary. He's a great guy. Why don't I string your daughter's racquet here and deliver it to her at school on my way home tonight." Francis texted my daughter about strings and tension, I paid for the racquet over the phone and, by 7 pm last night, she had a brand new racquet tucked safely in her bag. We love CSUN and Coaches Gary, James and Jim. Now we have a new friend at First Serve Tennis. Francis went well above and beyond. We will be loyal customers for life! read more

Lucked into finding this place close to work (I live in LA, work in Santa Clarita). These guys were exceptionally helpful in helping me experiment with some new strings and new tension choices -- always patient with my many, many questions. They steered me towards what will be my new favorite string. Very knowledgeable and more than willing to nerd out about all things tennis... great establishment! read more

I never have to worry about a broken string during my matches thanks to this place - He does an amazing job with my strings at a reasonable price. I could not have asked for more. Now we have a great pro shop right down the street and we no longer need to travel across town to get my rackets strong. read more

Frances was extremely helpful in helping me choose a proper racquet. He was even able to string it up before I left. I would definitely recommend this place to any tennis enthusiast. read more

Amazing guys, Frank & Todd. I'm on a new journey because of these two sweet honest guys! A pleasure to shop in this place with such knowledge. I trust them 100%. Great quality customer service! read more

The store is extremely clean and the employees are knowledgeable, honest and professional. I never felt rushed or pressured to buy. I would definitely recommend to others! read more

Excellent service as mentioned by all the other reviewers. I went on day when they were completely booked. But they were kind to string my racquet in spite of their busy schedule. The work quality is also the same as their customer service. Top notch !! read more

Francis and Todd are great. I needed my racquet restrung quickly and they provided same day service. I came back a couple days later and had them re-grip another racquet, too. Fair prices and great service. I will definitely use again. read more

Great and quick service for racket stringing and racket ordering. The team is helpful and honest.

They were very accommodating and nice when I was in a tennis ball jam. I highly recommend them!

Best stringer in S.C.V... Quick turnaround and same day. Black Saturday this Nov 30th.... AWESOME SALE!!!
