The store carries one of the biggest paddle selections in Los Angeles, with an in-store dink court for testing and a demo program that lets you take paddles home to try before buying, with rental fees credited toward a purchase. On the courts, the center runs private lessons, Jumpstart beginner classes, liveball sessions, skills and drills, and private events, open every day with bookings through its app, website, or front desk.
