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

Player Comments:
- "First set swung either way throughout and lasting an hour threatened to limit the match to one set due to light and or being thrown out of the park as allegedly it closes at 8:45pm. I eventually managed to take it on a tie -break and we decided to see how far we could get on the second. Again there were some long rallies and Sean came back to even the set at 4-4 after being 4-1 down. It got to the point where we had to guess where the ball was coming and could only see it clearly when it landed on your side of the net and had to improvise a return shot due to the lack of light. Managed to finish second set after 9pm without being locked in. " -- Tim

Reveal CommentTim Davis bt Robin Datta (Jul 7) 7-5, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Courts were slippery after a night of rain and then gradually became dry in patches so movement was tentative with advantages to be taken on drop shots or being able to make the opponent change direction or have to move quickly on to the ball. After I got off to a good 3-0 start, Robin found his way back into the set aided by producing a series of strong first serves and disguised forehand winners. The contention for this first set then became close run going to 7-5. With a surer footed court and less percentage of Robins first serves hitting the mark, I was able to overcome any threat of a further repeat comeback in the second set. " -- Tim

The second set was the opposite with Beej finding his stride and going toe to toe almost taking the set. Thankfully after some tricky rallies i managed to see out the second set. Great to get this game done, thanks Beej." -- Christopher

The pivotal game turned out to be the third which was the longest involving many deuces. I just managed to hold my serve to take a 2-1 lead. The remaining games were also close with the final one having me 0-40 down but I managed to fight back to close out the match. Thanks for a great game Michael." -- David
