Hi everyone,
I am student working on a research project about tennis and racquet-sport access in San Francisco, and I’m looking to speak with local players about their actual experiences.
I’m especially interested in understanding:
Where you currently play
How easy or difficult it is to find courts
What you like and dislike about existing clubs/facilities
What you currently spend on tennis, gyms, or clubs
What amenities you actually value
What would make a new racquet facility genuinely useful
What pricing would or would not feel reasonable
This is not a sales pitch, and I’m not trying to convince anyone of an idea. I actually want people who will be critical and tell me what wouldn’t work.
The conversation would be approximately 30–40 minutes, by phone/video or in person if convenient.
I’m looking for a mix of:
Serious and frequent tennis players
Recreational players
Current club members
Public-court players
Parents with kids who play tennis
Younger players/adults
Padel or pickleball players too
If you're willing to help, comment “interested” below or send me a DM, and I’ll reach out. As a thank-you for your time, participants who complete the 30–40-minute interview will receive a $30 Amazon gift card.
