This courts are located in Tijuana, B. C. about 10 minutes from the border line.

Crossing the border to Tijuana, take the 2nd left, the road deviates in 2, take the one to the right, for about 5 minutes.
Via Rapida east, just passing a Gas Station, the very next right.

Entry fee = $ 3.00 pesos, = 0.15 cents.

The small courts: are 30' wide x 50' long, front wall is about 33' tall. No back wall.

Mid size courts: are 30' wide x 60' long, front wall is about 33' tall. There is back wall.

Big courts are: are 30' wide x 100' long, front, side and back walls are about 33' tall.

As you can see in this picture there is a line at the left, and some players used the front wall line. That means playing above that line.
And of course some of us play the full wall, just to make it more interesting.

Singles is a very hard game. Covering the whole court is a challenge worthy taking.
This court has the side wall at he right.

Doubles is also hard. Many shots are hit on the fly, hard to return it if let it bounce.

This is a court with the side wall to the left.
Left or right both are good courts, if you like running and really hit the ball hard.

This are really big courts; 100' long. and some of the local players even return the ball from the back wall. Of course they use a very bouncy ball.

Huge courts. Plenty of time to hit the ball if you move on time.

Angel Leyva, Guero; one of the best players in these courts.
If you really hit the ball hard, very hard. You can be a good players here.
