HITTING PARTNER

Hit with me, Marcus.

Born and raised in LA with a talent and passion for paddle tennis, I’m a pro player who’s been hitting at the Paddle Tennis Courts in Venice Beach for decades. I’ve won open-level tournaments and am well-established within the paddle community. Come hit with me under the warm Southern Californian sun and cool ocean breeze!
