Manhattan Beach Middle School pickleball courts - where have you been all my life?! Well,…read moreactually, just for the past year because I only moved to Lawndale last summer. My friend and I have been searching for permanent and free courts without any luck. We always drive down to Long Beach to play because we don't have our own pickleball net. As I was recently running on Manhattan Beach, I thought I would give it another Google search. Once I saw this search result, I immediately sent my friend a message and told her I'd check it out! There are 6 pickleball courts here, open from 08:00 to dusk on weekends and 16:00 - dusk on weekdays due to school hours. They are permanent and were apparently built before or during the pandemic. Pickleball has even become an option for the middle schoolers! One court is reserved for beginners, unless there are none during your play time, and one court has been made the Challenge Court. At the Challenge Court, you can play up to two consecutive games if you win. Otherwise, all other courts are 4 on, 4 off. It's a fun system, as you slide north when one group finishes to make room on the south end for the next group of players. The courts are nicely maintained, and the people have been friendly. There is a paddle rack with a system that's easy to follow. Based on my experience, the weekends are jam-packed with serious pickleballers. We came on a Saturday morning at 09:00 and only got to play two games in an hour due to the number of players waiting to play. Stiff competition is available on the weekends! During the weekdays, you'll find more average and recreational players. There is plenty of street parking, and you can use the school parking lot on weekends and in the summer when school isn't in session. Additionally, the hours extend from 08:00 to dusk every day during the summer when kids are on vacation. Fair warning, though, the courts face east and west, so you'll have the sun in your face and affecting your vision in the mornings and evenings, depending on which side of the court you're on. We've definitely lost sight of the ball more than a few times when the sunbeams hit us just right.

We are honored to get to leave a review for Krishna & Paulo at Play BT!…read moreKrishna and Paulo are great people and terrific coaches! They both are Pro players and are passionate in the way they share this fun sport. Our whole family, which includes myself(49 year old female) my husband, 18 year old daughter, and 15 year old son with autism has taken part in either lessons, league nights, free play, or tournaments put on by PlayBT. Lessons are a great workout and great repetition to get used to proper form & technique.Lots of continual movement and attention to detail and encouragement. They play great music and work with the flow of the group to accommodate all skill levels.You get a LOT out of one session! League nights are so fun! Round robin style so you get to play with lots of different players and gets lots of game situational practice.They keep courts going so there is almost no waiting.Great music pumping to keep you fired up.They keep track of who wins each set and who has won the most overall each week and total. Really nice people and often go to dinner together afterward if you're up to it.You don't have to show up every Wed. Or Fri. Night, just whenever you can/want to.Great program! Tournaments are well thought out and they provide great snacks and impressive prizes!Lots of games...you can sign up with a partner in higher level tourney, or you can play without a set partner in Beginner Division & play Round Robin style.Good times for all and fun to watch the rallies! They coach youth and special needs kiddos too. They coach work groups, Birthday groups,etc.and are very flexible and open to ideas. They are just great.

The indoor facility is also a huge plus. It's very clean, well-maintained, and has great air conditioning, which made the entire experience even more comfortable. Highly recommend Ki Bom to anyone looking to learn or improve their pickleball game!

I am a huge fan of RAMP Tennis! If you have a child who is serious about tennis and has a desire…read moreto get better, then this is the place for them. The coaches are very dedicated and genuinely interested in helping the kids in their program grow and improve as a junior tennis player. They make the practices enjoyable for the kids and although the kids are working hard in their drills and exercises, they are doing with with smiles on their faces. I'm the dad of a 7 year old boy who has been playing tennis for about a year and a half. We recently decided to look for a tennis clinic that offered a bit more in terms of quality of instruction and development philosophy. I happened across the Ramp Tennis website and drove the family down one Friday just to see what the program was all about. The next Monday, we returned and have been going ever since. My son is a very shy kid and usually does not like to join in activities with a bunch of kids he doesn't know. He found the coaches (and the other kids) very welcoming. He really likes his coaches and enjoys playing with the other kids who all seem to share a love for the game of tennis. The facilities are first class - it is the USTA Training Center - West located at the StubHub Center. There are a bunch of very nice hard courts and 4 green clay courts which the kids absolutely LOVE. In southern California, there are just a handful of locations where kids can get some experience on Har-tru. If you want to hear one of the coaches, Marc Lucero, talk about the program check out the following link: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ur10snetwork/2013/05/13/parenting-aces

She found that all at RAMP!! What makes RAMP different from other tennis academies (and we've experienced several), is the passion, enthusiasm and dedication of the coaches. It's immediately noticeable!! It's an incredible environment for the players. The coaches are true professionals who are committed to helping each player become the best they can be! The coach-to-player ratio is low so that each player gets the opportunity to work on their specific individual needs. Our daughter always has a huge smile on her face after a RAMP practice and her tournament results are reflecting all the hard work she's putting in at RAMP! What a great combination!!!
