CA King tennis ball

BJK courts are NICE, but they are EXPENSIVE. Go across the street to Wilson High's courts, they're free. (On the other side of the high school from BJK courts.)

For El Do courts, you have to park in the Library parking lot off Studebaker and take the path across the grass. These cost money too. The next closest free court is far away, though. (Try Long Beach City College on Carson and Clark. Sometimes they charge, but only $3. Also, Mayfair park on Clark and South.)

Anyway, I took an adult drop in class at El Do and it was GREAT! Tuesdays & Thursdays, 7-930pm. No sign ups, just walk-in. The only downside was it is $15 per class. Yikes!! But oooh it was great. About 15 minutes of warm up followed by about 2 hours of drills. The instructors aren't there to "teach" you, just to organize/feed the drills, but they do know what they are talking about and they shout out pointers as you play. Then you end it by playing matches and/or just going home early. I really loved it, it was a lot of fun. It's for intermediate/advanced, as you have to know how to play. Again, though, it's $15 per class which is pretty steep (not that I've seen anything cheaper out there).
