FREE TENNIS BALLS
Every player who completes three matches by the midway point of any round is sent a FREE can of tennis balls! Plus there are great offers all the time in our shop.
This is how it works:
- Players are organised into groups of between 5 to 9 people of a similar standard
- It is a mixed sex, singles league, so men and women play each other
- Groups are put together by standard and there can be any combination of men and women in a group (we do not guarantee a balance of men and women and you could be the only man in a group of women or vice versa!)
- Contact details are emailed and posted to each player's account page
- Players arrange their own matches
- You can play on any court that suits both players
The league is:
- For everyone over the age of 18
- We welcome beginners as well as advanced players.
- Don't worry that you won't be good enough - playing matches is the best way to improve, and we use an online questionnaire to assess people's ability so you play only people of a roughly similar level
- Affiliated to the LTA For adults aged 18 years and above

Collapse AllAberdeen Singles - Round 24 | Thursday 20 February 2020 to Wednesday 15 April 2020 (Midpoint: Wednesday 18 March 2020)
A great round in Aberdeen! Groups were committed, friendly, and full of familiar rivalries. It was such a shame it had to be cut short. Here's to the next one, whenever that may be!
Group Summary:
Tosin is beginning to pitch camp at the top of this group as he successfully defends his title once again! It wasn't a walk in the park; runner up Haroon beat the champ and Ryan pushed him to three sets. This round has also been cut short by at least 3 weeks. But all credit to Tosin for getting his bonus points and winning three matches out of four to take gold again!
