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 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
- Each player attempts to play each of the other player on their group once during the round
- 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 posted to the winner's Account Page as a PDF file.

- "Really tough first set on the hottest day of the year so far. I got an early break but Chris broke back towards the end of the set. First set ended in a tight tie break which I squeezed through 10-8. Second set was less competitive and I won 6-1. Chris has a really great serve which I never learned how to read or deal with. So happy to get the win. Cheers Chris. " -- Paul
Reveal CommentPaul Murana bt Felipe Rodriguez (Jun 20) 6-7 (5-7), 6-2, 6-2
Player Comments:
- "This was a really tough start to the round, three sets over two and a half hours. Felipe is a talented player and has much better ground strokes than me. Felipe had set points against me at 4-5 in the first but I managed to force a tie break. Which I eventually lost on a double fault at 5-6 I’m pretty sure I only won due to a slight difference in fitness and that Felipe hasn’t played in a while. Nice guy, great match. Look forward to playing you again. " -- Paul
