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.
- Where possible, winners of groups are promoted to the group above for the next round.

Second set played a couple of days later due to time booked on the courts and was just as close. Don't think either of us was quite as on it as in the first set, but still some very good tennis played by both of us. Great match, lovely chap." -- Robin

Match Results:
Player Comments:
- "very nice game with Alex, enjoyed" -- Nikolaos
Player Comments:
- "Playing at midday on a baking hot day, my determination to ensure that my younger, fitter opponent did most the running led me to dig deep into my repertoire (such as it is) of awkward angles and devious drop-shots. Fair play and thanks then to Margharita who valiantly and effectively chased down a good many of them, making for a far more rewarding and enjoyable match than the scoreline might suggest." -- Chris
Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match and great to be back on court. When it all comes together, Alex certainly can hit it and I am probably lucky to have played him early in the round ." -- Chris
Player Comments:
- "Peter is a great player. Just out of shape. That was actually a good thing for me. :)" -- Fragkiskos
