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
Key points
- Matches are best of three sets; if a set reaches 6 games all it is decided by a tiebreak

- If you complete three matches before the midpoint of a round you receive 2 bonus points and a bonus prize (either a pair of Local Tennis Leagues dampeners, or a tube of tennis balls)
- The winner of the group is the player with the most points at the end of the round
- The winner of the group wins a voucher for £20 to be spent in the Local Tennis League online shop. A winner's certificate is also posted to the winner's Account Page as a PDF file.

Player Comments:
- "IT was a tight match in the first set and we were equal up to 3-3. it was very competitive, and Andrzej played some good stuff. In the second set, he lost his confidence and I managed to win 4-0. Then he came back, and nearly overhauled me. But I held firm. However, an enjoyable encounter. " -- Joseph
Player Comments:
- "Nik had been a little underconfident at first, and he hadn’t warmed up in the 1st set. He was a much tougher opponent in the 2nd set. It was a good contest! " -- Joseph

Player Comments:
- "Well played Tomas!" -- Christopher
Player Comments:
- "(7-3 tiebreak in the 2nd set). A very enjoyable match although we had to face the sun on one side and deal with slippery leaves on the other side of the court. Bruno's tennis was definitely much better with a lot of winning points. I was just lucky." -- Tomas

Player Comments:
- "Great match - first set swung back and forth, very evenly balanced and tie break could have gone either way. The fourth game in the second set was the crucial one with many deuces and in the end set the course for the rest of the set. Look forward to playing Ade again!" -- Alfie
Player Comments:
- "Great match in windy and at one point rainy conditions. Lots of good rallies!" -- Alfie
