Here is what Paddle Tennis Champion Scotty Freedman has to say about the sport.

Scotty Freedman has played Paddle Tennis for over 40 years, and has won the most championships in Paddle Tennis sport’s history. 191 in all, too many to list.

What do I love about paddle tennis: I love the fact that people of all different skill levels and abilities and levels of play can think and understand the game of Paddle Tennis at their respective levels of play exactly like i think and do the game, playing the game at the games top level like i do is entirely different. Venice beach paddle tennis courts are an eclectic mix of people from all different backgrounds, be it unemployed and hanging at the beach everyday or the richest of the rich in Los Angeles, they all have “ONE COMMON GOAL” they love the game of paddle tennis.
