Clay Redwood started playing at the club when he was 10 years old, with an old racket given to him by his father. He advanced from playing at the club to working in the club office to running clinics, and eventually to becoming a private instructor.

If you relish playing among the greats, then the Los Angeles Tennis Club is the place to be. Arthur Ashe, Billie Jean King and John McEnroe have graced the courts at this exclusive club. Exclusivity is the operative word at the club that offers a pool, clubhouse, restaurant and pro club as some of its amenities. Perspective members must be sponsored by a current equity holder in good standing, and should expect a 90-day membership admission process. Youth services at the club include both tennis and swimming lessons for children preschool-aged and older.
