Okay, so I wanted to find a covered tennis court nearby. It’s been raining cats and dogs, but I really wanted to get a game in. So, first thing I did was fire up my laptop and hit up Google. Just typed in “covered tennis courts near me” and hoped for the best.
The search results popped up, and I started scrolling through them. I noticed some were indoor courts, which is cool because you can play no matter what the weather’s doing outside. Plus, it’s probably more comfortable for anyone watching. I saw that most indoor places have hard courts, which makes sense since they’re easier to put in and take care of.
I dug a little deeper and found out about this place called the Seoul Olympic Park Tennis Center. Apparently, they hosted the Korea Open there. Sounds pretty legit, right? They have outdoor hardcourts, but I needed something indoors today.
Then I stumbled upon this other place that’s a practice spot for the Loyola High and Marlborough School tennis teams. Fancy, huh? But it also mentioned a $25,000 fee for new memberships, not even including other dues. Yikes! That’s way out of my budget.
I kept looking and found another park with a bunch of sports facilities, including six tennis courts. But it didn’t specify if they were covered or not. It also talked about tennis schools and a whole lot of football pitches. Sounds huge, but not exactly what I was after at that moment.
Why Indoor Courts Are Great
I realized that playing indoors means you don’t have to deal with things like the sun, wind, or rain messing up your game. That’s a big plus. No more blaming the weather for a bad shot!
The search continued, and I found some articles about the “most picturesque tennis courts” around the world. They mentioned some awesome spots from New York to Hawaii. Beautiful, but not helpful for finding a covered court near me right now.
Then I saw an ad for a local club boasting “match-quality tennis courts.” It mentioned that you can learn, practice, and compete there. It sounded promising, so I decided to check it out further.
Hotels with Courts?
Next, I found a list of hotels in Buenos Aires with tennis courts. Interesting, but I’m definitely not in Buenos Aires. And honestly, I just want to play, not book a hotel room.
Another site had reviews of hotels with tennis courts, also in Buenos Aires. Again, not helpful for my current situation.
Finally, a Local Option
Finally, I found a website called “Better” that lets you find and book tennis courts nearby, including indoor ones. Bingo! They even have a tag for “Indoor Tennis Courts London.” That’s more like it. I clicked through and started browsing their options.
I saw a bunch of gear recommendations on another site like the Babolat Pure Aero 98 2023 Tennis Racquet and the Nike Men’s Rafa Zoom Vapor shoes. I don’t need any new gear, but it is interesting to see what they recommend.
- Checked different options: I looked at several places, some fancy, some too expensive, and some just not quite right.
- Found a local option: I stumbled upon “Better,” which lets you book courts nearby, including indoor ones.
- Booked a court: I successfully booked a court for this afternoon.
So, after a bit of searching and sifting through some irrelevant stuff, I finally managed to book a covered tennis court for this afternoon. Mission accomplished! Now, let’s hope my game is as good as my search skills.
