I have created a website for everyone who is looking for someone to play tennis with in Amsterdam.
I lived in Barcelona for a while where I met a lot of people to play tennis with thanks to a quite similair website, when I got back in Amsterdam I noticed that there was no website like this.
Thats why I created a website for all tennisfans in Amsterdam. The name of the website is http://www.tennisfriends-amsterdam.com, you dont need to register or something you can just go to the forum and look for people of your own level.
It still needs some promotion so I also created a facebook page : https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tennisfriends-Amsterdam/289809937739443
Please check it out and like the facebook page. :) And hopefully we'll see eachother soon on the tenniscourt!
Thanks all!
