Facts about tennis in San Diego, CA
It’s no surprise San Diego has a vibrant tennis scene. With great weather year-round, an abundance of court locations, and experienced tennis coaches, it is a great city for taking tennis lessons. Whether you’re in North Park close to Balboa Tennis Center or in Ocean Beach near the Barnes Tennis Center, you’ll be able to find a perfect location to take your game to the next level.
A common question for those looking to take lessons in San Diego is, “do I wait for a free court or bite the bullet and pay for court time or membership?”. Besides the aforementioned balboa and Barnes, there are many court locations in and around San Diego, such as La Jolla Tennis Club and Lake Murray Tennis Club, that require yearly memberships to play. There are, however, public parks like Linda Vista Park and Colina del Sol Park where you can take tennis lessons without paying a court fee. Also be sure to check out your local rec center because there are usually one or two courts that are also free to play at. Always be sure to discuss with your coach first where the best court location is that works best for you.
Tennis lesson packages vary from 6, 12, and 20 hours, depending on your tennis goals. If you think a trophy in a San Diego tennis league may be in your future, it’s best to take 20-hours of lessons with a seasoned coach. If you’re merely intrigued by the sport of tennis, maybe a cheaper coach who can show the ropes over the course of 6-hours of lessons, is the right call. Regardless, all packages are suitable for experienced players and novices alike.
