PlayLocal vs USTA Flex

Play more quality tennis. Like a full service tennis club membership, the PlayLocal social network connects you to other tennis players nearby and allows you to reserve public court times in advance (you heard us correctly...reservations on PUBLIC TENNIS COURTS!). Spend more of your free time playing tennis, rather than finding a partner or waiting in line to get on a court. And unlike an expensive gym membership, you can join for free! Plus, with the flexibility of going to PlayLocal.com or the mobile app, you can schedule matches whenever and wherever you like. To make it easier for you to play more tennis, PlayLocal also provides: [+] Messaging called “Huddles” for setting up matches or shooting the breeze with friends and other players [+] Flexibility in how you would like to be notified of activity (Push notifications, email, etc.) [+] A single profile that lets you make court reservations in any participating city (we partner with cities and towns so that the reservations made through PlayLocal act as official city permits, with signage on the courts so that there are no disputes) With the PlayLocal app in your pocket, you can set up tennis matches in the grocery store, on the train home, or as you walk to the courts! Play hard friends, PlayLocal.
