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

- 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:
- "My first ever tennis match - only had an hour's group coaching under my belt, so happy not to have lost 6-0 in either set! Though if I'm honest, both games I'd won were helped significantly by Robert being slightly experimental with his serves! I felt I could hold my own (relatively speaking) in general play, had some decent rallies at the start of the second set and there were one or two returns I was quite pleased with, but no question I had issues with returning serves and getting them on target myself. That said, I was able to cause Robert more problems with the overarm serves than the underarm when I was able hit the spot so hopefully more to come from me. Really enjoyed the game - all the best to Robert with his campaign!" -- Gabriel
