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:
- We have doubles and singles rounds!
- Players/teams are organised into groups of between 5 to 9 people of a similar standard
- The league is mixed sex, 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!)
- In doubles teams may be any combination of gender
- 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
- The evening before the round starts you will receive an email with all the contact details of the players in your group. Contact details are also posted to your Account Page
- Players are placed in groups according to past performance in the league and, for new players, their Player Standard Questionnaire

- A point is awarded for each set won
- 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 available on the winner's Account Page as a PDF file.

Player Comments:
- "Always a pleasure to play Antonio. We as Italians are very similar when it comes to tennis very good shots mixed with very bad shots. Last time when I lost Antonio was playing lots of good shots, this time around it seems that I was fortunate to make less mistakes. Next time? Who knows.... It was a great match full of interesting plays a true enjoyment. Grazie Antonio I am looking forward to playing a match again. Ciao " -- Alberto
Player Comments:
- "A tough match in windy conditions, There wasn't much between us and could have gone either way, Richard played the best shot of the match with a backhand slice from behind the baseline which just crept over the net. Well played Richard" -- Paul
- "As we kicked started the league, It was a a toss up with the weather as we didn't know whether it would hold out on raining. I started of with a flying start leading 2-0 which suddenly got swept away with the wind (:) Paul clawed it back and dug deep and ran away the set. 2nd set I realigned and focused. By the 3rd set we were both blowing and Paul managed to reach the finishing line. Great games Paul well done." -- Richard
