To sign up you need to create an account with us and get an LTA Number here. This will provide you with login details so you can keep returning to the site and manage your Leagues and Rounds. Getting a LTA Number will provide you with an ITF World Tennis Number, which enables us to group players to a similar standard.

When you sign up, you can indicate which League you are interested playing in. This will save in your account and means that you will be emailed directly with updates or entry links to the next Round. If you want to add more Leagues to your account, please contact us here.

Please don’t create a new account. Instead, email us here and we will reset it for you.

A Round lasts for 8 weeks and is the timeframe for you to play your matches within a League. This what you sign up and pay to join and we aim to run 4-5 rounds a year in each League.

Ensure you're logged into the website and then find the League/s you want to join from our Leagues page and click on the ‘Join By’ button. If you can't see a ‘Join By’ button this means that there is no Round to join or it has already begun. You can sign up as a late joiner here (we'll do our best to fit you in). If you have indicated in your account that you are interested in playing in this League, you will be emailed directly when a Round does open.

The entry fee covers winners’ prizes, free balls at the midway point, customer service and other administration costs. This does not cover the cost of courts, but some of the park courts are free!

You should play between 5 and 8 matches depending on the group size and how many people join.

Not at all! Local Tennis Leagues is open for everyone and we will make sure to divide groups based on players' experience according to their ITF World Tennis Number.

During the sign up process, you are required to get a LTA Number. In doing so, you are given an ITF World Tennis Number - a universal rating system for tennis players. We use each player's WTN to organise the groups for every Round. Your Local Tennis Leagues results will influence your WTN, so the more matches you play, the more accurate it'll be.

Once a Round has launched, we cannot change your group placement. We have placed you in the best possible group according to your questionnaire and previous results. The Leagues are dynamic and change every Round dependent on who signs up.

This is up to you! Matches are arranged between opponents at a mutually agreed time and place (some Leagues do have primary venues which you can use as a guide).

We will work on placing you in a group with players of similar experience after the deadline closes. The day before the Round starts, we send an email with all the information you need, including contact details for players in your group.

You and your opponent will agree on who books and pays for the court. It is then up to you to arrange a shared payment of the booking fee.

Use the ‘Report Your Score’ form on your League home page or the Report Scores button in your profile. We will approve the score and then publish it into your Round page.

If you can no longer participate in a Round and wish to withdraw, please send us an email so we can officially withdraw you. As stated when you sign up, refunds, coupons and transfers are not given out once a Round has started, for any reason.

We will send a Round report summary within the week after the Round closes, which includes the winner's prizes.

Unfortunately no, the last day is the cut off point to finish your matches so don’t delay in arranging your matches.

We recommend:
1. Contact people individually with your availability
2. Offer to book a court
3. Book a court and offer your availability to one or all players (you can always cancel the court)
4. Try texting or calling; sometimes the email isn’t getting through

All players who complete 3 matches before the mid-point of the Round qualify for a free tube of tennis balls or racket vibration dampeners. You will receive an email from us to confirm if you’ve qualified. Use the link in the email to claim your prize and be sure to do so before the link expires after 28 days.

The winner of the group receives a Winner's Coupon up to the value of £20. You can use this in our shop or purchase a future Round.  

You will find your coupon in your account under the Coupons tab. Just log into your account to locate it and redeem the coupon at the checkout. Be sure to check the expiry date so you don't miss out.

When you join Local Tennis Leagues you are automatically entitled to the Play+ tier of LTA Advantage. Registration for LTA Advantage is via the main LTA (Lawn Tennis Association) website and is quick and easy to do. Find out more here.

It’s a new rating system for all tennis players across the world. It will make it easier for everyone who plays tennis in Britain to organise and play against opponents of a similar standard. You can find out more here.

When you join a doubles Round you will be asked to indicate if you have a playing partner. If you do, you will have the option of paying your partner's Round fee. 

If you choose to pay your partner's fee you will be issued with a coupon code on check out. You will then need to forward the coupon to your playing partner who can use it to sign up to the Round. (This ensures your partner knows that they are playing with you and that we have the correct "team" for the round).

If your partner intends to pay for themselves, he or she should sign up in the normal way.

If you don't have a partner, you can still sign up and we will do our best to pair you up (a full refund will be issued if we aren’t able to partner you for the Round). 

The day before your Round begins, your opponent’s contact details will be emailed to you and also appear in your account (ensure you’re logged in). Click ‘Show Contacts’ next to the Round name to see all details.

• The match will be marked ‘awaiting approval’ during this process.

Once a match has been reported, it can be amended by submitting a revision. Click the pencil icon next to the score and leave your message. It will be reviewed by the team and amended.
