FAQs

To sign up you need to create an account with us by completing our online questionnaire here

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 via info@localtennisleagues.com

New players complete the questionnaire and set up an account with login details during the process

No problem! Don’t create a new account. Instead email us at info@localtennisleagues.com 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 join and we aim to run 4 rounds a year in each league.

Find the leagues you want to join from our leagues page and click on the ‘Join Now’ button. Make sure you’re logged in before trying to enter! If you cannot see a ‘Join Now’ button this means that there is no round to join. 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 ability.

We have evolved a questionnaire, based on our experience of running these leagues since 2005. We also use your past results in the leagues if you are a returning player.

This is up to you! Matches are arranged between opponents at a mutually agreed time and place (some leagues do have default courts 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. Before the round starts, we send an email with all the information, including contact details for players in your group.

When arranging matches, decide between yourselves who will do this. Costs are shared between players.

Use the ‘Report Your Score’ form on your league home page or the Report Scores button in your profile. We approve the score and then publish onto the website.

Winners in each group are promoted in the next round and losers may be demoted. Other players may go up or down according to past performance and the overall number of players playing. These are dynamic leagues and so positions are never guaranteed next time. We will send a round report summary up to 5 days after the round closes.

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

We recommend:
1. Email 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 phoning, sometimes the email isn’t getting through!
5. If you have tried all of this, contact us via info@localtennisleagues.com and we will help!

All players who complete the 3 matches before the mid way 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. Make sure to claim your prize within 28 days as after that it will expire!

The winner of the group receives a winner 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 coupon tabs. Just log into your account to locate it and use redeem the coupon on checkout. Any problems, let us know. Be sure to check the expiry date when issued!
