Find the right tennis. Help create more of it.
People to play with. A place to meet. A plan that works for you. Find tennis, coaching and racket stringing at curated venues in England.
Make the next game easier to arrange.
Tennis can be scattered across group chats, club circles and booking sites. PlayHitters brings the venue, people, session and costs together, so you can join a hit or offer one of your own.
Browse before joining. See who is playing, find a suitable level and know the full price. The organiser checks availability and books directly with the venue.
Our ambition is to build a stronger tennis community and nurture the next generation of talent in England, together. Every welcome, shared hit and opportunity to learn can help someone develop their game, build confidence and discover a lasting love of tennis.
Choose the tennis that fits.
Meet someone new, learn something or make time for focused practice. Organisers choose who joins; you can also create your own hit.
Arrange competitive matches to develop your game and work towards improving your World Tennis Number (WTN). With every player’s agreement, players can submit eligible results through the LTA. How WTN submission works
Coaching
Paid instruction where you are qualified, insured and venue-authorised
Paid hitting
Focused practice and match play with a dedicated hitting partner.
Confirm your email and add a private LTA-number claim to request free hits. Community confirmation opens more playing options; paid services also need provider approval. How community confirmation works
PlayHitters provides practical tools to make running your tennis activities easier. Coaches and paid hitters can publish sessions, manage requests and participants, and take payments. Stringers can manage services and orders through to handover. Venue teams can maintain their information and share local updates.
Look after the racket you love.
Compare stringing services and agree the setup and handover before confirming or paying. An email-confirmed account is enough. You do not need an LTA claim to request stringing.
Offer a service after provider and venue-management approval, with Stringing enabled.
Help your venue come to life.
Keep venue information useful, share a local update or let people follow a court stream. Publishing may need review; streams need permission to film and share.
Keep the next step in view.
My tennis keeps requests, upcoming hits, racket orders and your playing history together. When nothing matches, save a search or set an eligible Hit alert. An alert sends one email and never reserves a place.
Clear information. Accountable choices.
See the plan, people and applicable costs before requesting a place. Contact choices, blocks, reports and attendance corrections help you stay in control.
£0 PlayHitters platform fee
Hits can be free, paid at the venue, paid online or a clear mix, including Coaching and Paid hitting. Only online collection needs Stripe setup; the organiser pays Stripe processing fees. Different member prices and public provider details stay visible before you request.
PlayHitters is independent of the LTA. Claims and community confirmation do not prove legal identity, age, membership, professional credentials or safeguarding suitability. Completed-play context is a record of arrangements, not a guarantee of safety or reliability.
PlayHitters does not book courts, show live court availability, submit results or calculate WTN. Check the venue or its official booking provider. Parents, guardians and providers retain their safeguarding responsibilities.
