Two of my kids, ages 13 and 7, have been taking classes with one of the Play Your Court instructors for about 8 weeks now. I love that my kids can just walk up to the neighborhood court by themselves and get a private lesson. (We just paid $10 more per lesson to add a child.) Classes would have been cheaper, but I couldn't find any near us at convenient times. Now we get to schedule our lesson when we are free (although we have been sticking with a pretty regular time of Sunday mornings). Private lessons are definitely more expensive than classes, but I've heard that instructors can run $50-100 per hour, so we feel that we are getting a pretty good deal. My kids really look forward to their lesson, and were sad at the thought of suspending lessons during winter. Their instructor, Jen, is very kind, patient, and thorough with working on all the different strokes and skills. This program has been a great solution for us because of the convenience and flexibility, as well as the low-key nature and special attention of private lessons. read more

Great idea, but not enough members to make it effective. I moved back to West Cobb County Georgia from Arizona and out of the entire database in a 10 mile circle and at my level, only 1 person showed up in my search. I messaged him to no reply. The records seem very old and not likely to be active. I feel this was a waste of perfectly good money. read more

Terrible!!! Could not find any partners in 3 weeks. Not a single reply. I contacted Playyourcourt for a refund and NEVER heard from them again. Just a bunch of incompetent thieves. Avoid like a plague! read more

From the reviews on this website (and several others), it is clear that this company has an integrity problem. Assertions by the company are made regarding products, services and return policies (without documentation), which are later changed. Here's my example. During the first week of October-2024, I had an extended conversation with the owner of Play Your Court (PYC) regarding the purchase of a $10,000 celebrity tennis package which was scheduled for March 8, 2025. As part of the conversation, I questioned the owner about a refund policy if I needed to cancel. The answer I received was that they would refund the money if sufficient time was given before the event took place. When I asked about the "sufficient time" I was told that about 2-3 months was sufficient. On 11/15/2024, I contacted the owner by email, informing him that I might need to cancel due to a schedule change. At no time did the owner respond stating that a refund would only be provided if the tickets could not be resold. On 1/7/2025. I sent an email to the owner requesting cancellation of my reservation. Only at that time did the owner respond stating that he could not provide a refund unless he could resell the tickets. This is the first time this policy was stated. Multiple communications were exchanged subsequent to this request. The owner also stated that he spent over $10,000 in advertising to try and resell these tickets. He failed realize that if I had never purchased the tickets in the first place, he would still have spent money on advertising to sell them...he just used my money to pay for the advertising then used that as an excuse to refuse the refund. Needless to say, I have not received any refund from this company. Beware if you are thinking about using this company's products or services. Get everything in writing before handing them any money. read more

Terrible service. And they renew your account with no notice. Instructors can't find courts. Terrible times. Whole thing is a scam. Use your money and time elsewhere where. read more

It's too bad about play your court. If they would have made one change I would be giving them 5 stars not 1. On the plus side it was very easy to find someone convenient to my location to play with. Unlike a previous comment I found it very easy to find someone to play with although the players did tend toward the 4.0 level and above but if you are a solid 3.5 you can find someone to play with who might be a little better but still in the range where you can have at least competitive games though you might lose 6 2. They get a one because I was never able to find a way to cancel my account and the subscription automatically renewed. If it was possible, the way you were supposed to cancel your account was very cryptic which is very sleazy. If you decide to use this service, I strongly suggest using a pre-payed visa card with not much more on it than your fee too sign up. I signed up maybe 3 or 4 years ago so maybe they corrected this. You might want to check on that. If I ever decide to get back into tennis, maybe I would check if they corrected this problem but I would still use a pre-payed visa card with limited funds on it to pay the fee. read more

This site will take your credit card info an simply keep charging it. There is no way to delete your card info or opt out of auto-renewal. If you ask them to reverse a charge (i.e. annual membership), they simply refuse. read more

I was matched up with a coach who was not responsive and unavailable. Trying to schedule one lesson was a hassle and I wasn't willing to go through that every time I needed to schedule a lesson. When signing up they should make it more clear when coaches are available and how soon they can start with lessons. Additionally they should make it more clear where the lessons are held. In my case it was advertised that they could do it closer to my home but after assigning me a coach, it was not close at all. The concept and model seem to have potential for lessons and for matching up with other players but you can tell not much thought was given to the customer experience. If the customer experience becomes a priority for the company I think it can be a really good option for tennis players. read more

We recently moved from Seattle to Orange County CA and needed to meet fellow tennis players. We joined this website in hopes to connect with tennis players. There are very few players in our area and never played with anyone! They will not tell you how many players in your area and make you join first. The bigger problem was the double billing (twice) and non cancellation. I had to contact my credit card company to reverse two charges. I was able to connect with a live person who credited my last payment and finally cancelled my subscription. So.... very few local tennis players. They push tennis lessons. Had I known this, I would not have joined. Waste of time. read more

I should have noticed that all the yelp reviews are either 1 star or 5 stars, which screams SCAM!!! So don't cough up your credit card for these criminals. You will have ZERO recourse. read more

What a concept. The tennis coach comes to you to help improve your game. Works perfectly for busy professionals and just... Busy people. We were linked with Jet T and he is awesome. Full of energy and enthusiasm about teaching. He adjust to the students needs and very encouraging. I highly recommend him as a teacher" Makes me look fwd to the next lesson. read more

It's too bad because if this dishonest company let you cancel your account I would have give them 5 stars. Its a very good way to find people unfortunately this dishonest company does not let you cancel membership. AT 64 I found out shortly after joining my body just could not stand the pounding from tennis again. I tried to cancel after about 3 weeks, I did the steps on the website in order to cancel I received no errors but after I cancelled I still received calls from people and they kept billing my prepaid card until all the money in it was drained. Then I starting receiving emails. There is no number to call to actually cancel your account. Very dishonest site, Do not use!! read more

I joined playyourcourt to make contacts for fun tennis games. Thought it was like a meetup. They showed over 200 subscribers in my area. After I joined I was shown 7 members interested in playing. 3 responded to my emails initially but then never arranged a time to play. I kept thinking I would get something but after two months I cancelled my membership. Then I found out I couldn't get a refund after 30 days. The company will arrange tennis lessons in a heart beat or try to sell you something else but the membership is a complete waste of money. read more

I am just not a fan. Their refund policy stinks. Although it may say what a coaches availability is it may not be so when you purchase the lessons. You are not aloud to contact the coach until after you pay for the lessons so you have no idea if they are actually available for the times you need. read more

Adrianna is working with my 15 year old. I asked him some insights re- his first lesson and he told me: * Adrianna is cool * She is a good coach * Improved my strategy and style. My wife was also impressed, and likes Adrianna a lot. :) read more

They never return you the money once you paid, even you dont like the lesson you will never get refounded

Rich is a terrific coach! He is very friendly and has a very organized and simple way of explaining what he's about to teach. I really approach His stepwise approach and recommendations. I would highly recommend him! read more

PlayYourCourt made a series of unprofessional mistakes with my tennis lesson package. I bought a package of lessons on sale, but the receipt had no description of what I had bought or a record of the discount received, only a dollar value. When I had to switch to a new coach, they switched me to a more expensive coach without informing me in advance, and thus the number of lessons I had signed up for were reduced. Worse, they overcharged me upon the coach switch and only adjusted it when I pointed it out. I did not get the good deal I thought had gotten when I signed up for lessons and had a lot of aggravation dealing with this company. read more

I was very clear when speaking to the sales person that while I was a beginner I also want to be certain they could match me with a group of other beginners so I could play and practice. New to the area and tennis. I've had private lessons before and am the longest tennis player. I want to be part of a group so I can actually play and get better. Sales rep assured me that the instructor would include and connect me with other beginners so I would have an opportunity to actually play. It was under this assurances that I purchased lessons and was inform that if it did work out the remaining lesson would be 100% refundable for those that are not utilized. My first lesson was to be with their top pro. When we first met I informed him that I wanted to be part of a group and meet other beginners. he told me he could not do this and that was not something the company offered. Also that he was not informed of my request. ( bad communication within the company) I clearly stated thierrwas a miscommunication and as I was told I would be part of pool of other beginners. We proceeded with my first lesson which was nothing more than volleying the ball back-and-forth never giving me pointers and tips or anything a beginner needs to learn tennis. He severed he ball right to me and I just hit. No comments or feedback on my stoke, foot work. Frankly I just paid to have someone volley, which clearly not of value to a beginner. I reported this to the company and they offered another pro. They also stated that my unused lessons were refundable. Here I am working to get my money back as they did not deliver on any of there promises. I'm seeking legal action as they fully misrepresent their services and policies. My advice stay away and find another vendor who is honest read more

Great experience, I love his energy & encouraging spirit! I learned some key points on all my strokes."

This is a complete scam. I used the site to find a coach I liked and then bought a package of lessons with that coach on Sunday afternoons. After 1 lesson, the coach told us that he is no longer available on Sunday afternoons. I contacted PlayYourCourt asking for a refund and they refused saying, per their policy, I need to now accept a substitute coach that has not been approved by me. I bought a lessons package with a Specific coach. I pushed back but without success. I have now filed a claim with my credit card company and the BBB because of how PlayYourCourt is holding me hostage. read more

My nephew has only played tennis twice but was very interested in taking lessons. We were matched with Will who was really great with my nephew. He started off with all of the basics and my nephew is really looking forward to his next lesson. Will was very patient with him and answered all of his questions about the game itself. So far so great! read more

"He was great. Fun, engaging, kept them moving. I would like him to coach one of my other kids"

Awful. I spent a month trying to schedule a class through playyourcourt. The first instructor repeatedly cancelled and flaked last minute. The second instructor actually tried to poach me as a client and join the private club he works at. In the whole month, I never ended up taking ONE LESSON. I spent the whole month just trying to set up the class and dealing with the idiosyncrasies of these coaches. Looking at the other reviews, I'm thankful I actually got my money back. I booked with another group - and voila, am all set up to play. Do yourself a favor, go elsewhere. read more

I joined this thinking there'd be a new league to play in. This hasn't happened. I don't need their other services. Repeated requests for them to cancel my subscription are met with emails asking "why". They continue to take the original monthly fee from my bank account even though I've asked to cancel.REPEATEDLY. Think twice before you're suckered in. read more

Our daughter who is a tennis novice felt incredibly encouraged and excited to go again.

Found the service very organized and easy to use. My instructor was professional as well as accommodating to my busy schedule. I'm looking forward to my next lesson with Jenna. read more

Signed up for their league play for $4.99/mo (supposedly refundable). There were hardly any players in my area so I tried to cancel, twice by email. They responded by trying to sell me on staying (more players coming, etc.). Despite two written directives to cancel my membership, they did not cancel and I was charged for the next three months. I'm fighting with them now to get this cancelled and the charges credited. It's been a total pain and waste of my time. read more

Mark is fantastic! Had a great first lesson and looking forward to the upcoming ones. I haven't played tennis in over a year and was never good on my serve. Day 1, Mark showed me a few techniques and now I feel more confident with my serve than I have ever did in the past. He is willing to meet at any court and also provides suggestions for nearby courts in Arlington and DC. Highly recommend! read more

This was my daughter's first time picking up a tennis racquet - she was a bit nervous at first. But her instructor, Sienna, was very patient and professional. My daughter enjoyed her first lesson. read more

"Great so far!!" A super first lesson and I'm looking forward to the second (and third and fourth).

First lesson with David Robinson. Painful, but in a good way. Started with some diagnostics and then worked through stances, hitting various strokes, serving and court strategy. read more

We had 2 lesson with Luka last Saturday, he is professional teacher. We rally enjoyed with his lesson.

Great way to find a tennis coach to meet you at a public court quickly in most cities. But know the rules - purchases are for a 6 pack or more but that is when you save the most. Reasonable rates. Customer service was very responsive and I got a call from a pro within minutes of placing my order. read more

My son first lesson with Edmon was great. He had a very good workout and got great tips from Edmon on his serve and ground strokes. We are looking forward to our next lesson. read more

This service is so convenient. My instructor Megan is patient,fun and a great teacher. Scheduling is very easy and organized, and lessons are actually cheaper than at my local club. read more

This is such a great idea! So Easy to do and so much fun. I love playing tennis but was new to the area and did not know where to go. This website set me up with a coach near me, and they do everything from helping you with technique to just playing a game with you. I have had fun and met a lot of great people thought play your courts! read more

"My first lesson was great! He really listened to what I wanted to work on and provided feedback throughout the lesson. Gave me things to think about and practice, immediately sensing my strengths and weaknesses" read more
