FAQs

Have questions?

QWhere will the lessons take place?

Your coach comes to any court you choose. Not sure where the closest court is? They'll recommend a convenient one.

QHow do I know I'll love my coach?

We ask about your goals and hand-pick your coach. If they're not the right fit, we'll find you another. If we can't find one you're happy with, we'll refund your unused lesson credits.

QCan I start with just one lesson?

Yes. Most students start with a package because it costs less per lesson, and if we can't find you the right coach, we'll refund every unused lesson credit.

QHow do I contact my coach?

You'll get your coach's contact details as soon as you book. Call or text them to schedule your first lesson. If they don't hear from you, they'll reach out within 24 hours.

QI've never played before. Do you work with beginners?

Absolutely. Our coaches work with players of every age and ability, including complete beginners.

QCan I bring a friend?

Yes. Each extra person is only $10 more per hour, which is a great way to bring down the cost of your lessons.

QWhat happens if it rains?

If you can't play, you don't pay. If weather makes your court unplayable, contact your coach directly to reschedule.

QDo lesson credits expire?

Lesson credits are good for one year from your purchase date. We ask for 48 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a lesson.

The tennis scene in Arlington

Arlington has an active tennis community. USTA league play and neighborhood ladders keep adult teams competing through the outdoor season, and public courts are spread across the Arlington area — so there's almost always a court within a short drive.

Most adult students in Arlington are working toward league or ladder play, so PlayYourCourt coaches go beyond stroke mechanics — they teach doubles positioning, serve and return patterns, and the point construction that wins matches at every level.

For instruction, PlayYourCourt's Arlington tennis lessons page currently lists 41 certified coaches in the DC metro area, a 4.9-star average from 223+ reviews, and private-lesson pricing starting at $139 per hour. Its coaches teach at public courts around the region, including Alexandria City High School, Cabin John, Arlington, 1400 S Joyce street, Chinquapin, and 18th Street Tennis Courts — an important convenience for players who want a coach to meet them near home or work without a country-club membership. Arlington's coaching market also reflects its adult-league ecosystem: many students seek help with USTA match readiness, including doubles positioning, serve-and-return patterns, dependable second serves, and point construction — not merely stroke mechanics.

Finding people to play with is part of what keeps the Arlington tennis scene active between lessons. Players can use PlayYourCourt's Arlington tennis-partner community to look for singles, doubles, practice sessions, or matches based on skill level, preferred distance, availability, and match format.
