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

My child loves RAMP! When we were looking for a new tennis academy for our daughter to train, she…read morehad certain things she was looking for...she wanted an academy where she connected with the coaches, an academy with experienced coaches that would help her develop her game so that she could achieve her lofty goals, someplace where she could work hard and was pushed to work even harder, and someplace that offered positive reinforcement with a little fun mixed in. 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!!!

Finding a tennis coach for my 9 year old daughter was surprisingly a hard task. I was very lucky to…read morehave found coach Erica, whom my daughter absolutely loved form the very beginning. If you are looking for a tennis coach for a little girl, look no more! - Coach Erica is an Expert at connecting with the children and teaching them the sport in a way they can develop a love and understanding for the game. With some people you just know they were born to do what they do because they enjoy it so much and do it at a high level effortlessly. I strongly believe coach Erica was meant to do what she does because she's truly instilled a love for tennis on my daughter whom had no prior experience and had zero knowledge of the game at all. Coach Erica has made learning fun and I've seen improvement from lesson to lesson which was not expected at all. She also works at a very beautiful facility and will work with you on a schedule, although it fills up quickly, so hurry up and give her a call! Highly recommended!

He's also great because he's a very positive teacher-- he won't tear you down while you're learning, but he will give you constructive critiques to better your game.

I started working with Demetrius a few months ago, and I'm really glad I decided to take private…read morelessons with him. He is very friendly, attentive, and creates a relaxed environment that makes learning feel enjoyable rather than intimidating. In just under three months, I've already noticed much improvements in my forehand, which has given me a big confidence boost. My backhand still needs some work, but Demetrius is always encouraging and patient, which helps me stay motivated. I also really appreciate that he takes the time to review clips I send from my solo wall practice and gives me useful feedback in between lessons. That's another thing, taking lessons with him has given more enough courage to book a court and practice on my own. It's clear he genuinely cares about helping me improve, and I'd recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and dedicated tennis coach.

Coach D is an OUTSTANDING instructor. As a bit of background, I hadn't played any sports as an…read moreadult and decided to pick up tennis. With that said, I figured my first lesson would be a breeze... wrong! lol. From our first lesson, we jumped right in, drilling the fundamentals... grip, stance, footwork, etc. It was clear his passion for tennis and his dedication to seeing his students excel! His lessons go beyond the courts as he regularly sends videos/homework for his students to study between lessons. I feel immensely grateful to have found Coach D. My skills are far beyond what I could have anticipated 6 months ago. I'm regularly complimented on how well I play despite being a novice. Whether you are a beginner (like me) and looking to kick-start your game or, if you're a seasoned player wanting to take your game to the next level, seriously, look no further.

Adam Burt is a truly patient, talented, and funny tennis coach. I first met him in late '99 when I…read morewas part of his classes and tennis ladder. Even back then, he was able to teach me out of my bad habits. Then we started sending our daughter to him. She's not the most athletically inclined type, but after a few weeks with Adam, she was a changed kid! Now, she plays better than I could have imagined and she totally loves tennis. This is a huge thing because this is the only sport she likes right now. We are overjoyed that she looks forward to Adam's class every week. We even signed her up for one of his summer camps. Meet Adam once and you'll realize he has the perfect temperament for being a coach not just for adults but for kids too. So whether you want to improve your own game or you want to pass along a life long activity that your kids can and will enjoy, Adam and Crush Tennis is the only game in town. Thanks Adam!!

Review #955 2026-019…read more Hours: Daily, 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM; closed 1st Tuesday at 2:00 PM monthly for cleaning, park to reopen when the concrete is dry. My son & I were supporting his friend who had a part in the "Alice in Wonderland" musical at Hermosa Beach Community Theater. After the show, the kiddos wanted to hang out at Hermosa Beach Skate Park, which is west (behind) of the theater. The skate park is a concrete park that has various obstacles like ramps, funbox, manny pads, ledges, & rails for all skill levels, & open for drop-in use. It seems smaller than the one in Wilson Park that closed in the late 2000s. Skateboards, in-line skates, & scooters permitted; no bicycles. Safety gear (helmet, elbow pads, knee pads) are required; in-line skaters must also wear wrist guards. Failure to comply with rule or code of conduct may result in suspension; the City of Hermosa Beach may also close the skate park at their discretion. There's free parking available; the driveway is just east of the skate park's entrance. It wasn't that busy on a late Sunday afternoon, probably because the weather was slightly chill. Some of the older kids (middle school?) were more advanced than the younger ones. They were either on skateboards or scooters, with one in-line skater. Of course, there's always a couple of hooligans that don't follow park rules... they were attempting to triple skate together on a scooter down the ramp. Of course, it was an abysmal attempt. O_o The ramp wasn't too high so it's not probable for a major injury or concussion. But what if it's that 1% chance? Why risk it? And to the point of getting caught & having the skate park closed to others in the community that follows the rules & uses it appropriately? Especially since there's only a handful of skate parks in the South Bay. My son didn't have his gear because it was an unexpected play date. He has a skateboard, but prefers his scooter & bike because he's more skilled in those. He mostly stayed outside or along the perimeter to chat with his friend. I couldn't find any rule of pedestrians/observers preventing them from being inside since they're not active skate participants. As a general rule of thumb, safety-wise, I told my son to stay outside to avoid unnecessary accidents. He went in when he noticed fewer skaters/scooters & no one was roughhousing. It's a bit far from our place, but if his friend is into skateboarding, we can come hang out next time with his scooter at Hermosa Beach Skate Park.
