Court 16 Downtown Brooklyn – Tennis and Pickleball

There is a lot to love about Court 16 in Brooklyn. 1. First and foremost, the staff. They are amazing, kind, and attentive. My son and I felt comfortable the moment we walked in. We went there for an event and the staff ensured everyone was taken care of and had a wonderful time. 2. The location. The courts are located on the 4th floor of City Point and what makes that cool is you can explore shopping, food, and movies before or after your tennis session, all within the same building. We did just that and it added to the experience. 3. The cleanliness of the facility. Everything from the courts to the restrooms were top notch. 4. The trainers. We got to meet and work with a couple of different trainers. They were engaging, warm, and could clearly teach any level. I have been playing tennis for years and still walked away learning something new. I love when that happens. Thank you to everyone @ Court 16 - Brooklyn for being amazing. My son

I’ve been coming here on and off for 4 months and have taken 9 classes so far - 2 pickleball classes and the rest are beginner tennis group classes. I have to say the front desk staff here are really nice, and I have learned a lot from all of the coaches in a short duration. That being said, I did feel like not every coach had a teaching style that was the best fit long term and had to try different classes to find coaches I really respected. Major shoutout to Coach Daniel - he subbed in for a class and was actually super inspiring. He was so positive we all learned and improved so much in one class that I decided to come twice a week now to keep learning and getting better. Coach Justin was really nice and helped me figure out why my footwork and forehand was off, and gave a lot of great advice on how to improve! I’m hoping to take his class on the regular. And I had a ton of fun in the pickleball classes with coach Garrett! In my opinion he is the best coach here - he’s not only super nice he also has this really awesome ability to explain all the technical things in a way that’s super easy to digest for beginners.

I went to Court 16 yesterday for the first time for a beginners tennis lesson. I had the best time. I learned so much in a very low pressure situation. Great instructor - Taraq- and sweet staff. Will definitely go again.

Here for tennis? Temper your expectations. Only one full size tennis court and a bunch of 3/4 courts and pickleball courts. If you take classes, only expert classes are on the full size. Taking classes? The smaller 6 person class was alluring at first, however, the class size is still too big as you'll dedicate a lot of time not hitting. EX: Stations may take up 1/5 of a class. They're a thing in every earlier level class where 2 out of the three activities your doing are things you can do at home (so why pay). Coaches vary from more technical to more passive, so its a toss up. The major issues are mainly due to size constrains with the classes: Not a lot of time you're actually hitting. Add the price of classes and the short 1 hr class slot, and its a subpar experience in a rather convenient package.

If you've ever tried to get on a tennis court anywhere in NYC, you know it's not for the faint of heart. That's why guaranteed play AND coaching at Court 16 is 100% worth it if you love tennis and genuinely want to improve your game. I've had great experiences with all coaches and especially loved learning from Coaches Marina, Anna, and Nick.
