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

- "Midweek thriller with martin having two match point against me in the final set. I climbed a mountain and came back from 1-5 down in the final set to get a tie break. I was then to be 1-5 down again in the tie break to finally come back and steal the match in the end. It could of been anyone’s win very well played! " -- Sean
Player Comments:
- "A third epic in four matches, Martin was the better player and held served when it mattered, the match featured 16 breaks of serve including 8 in 2nd set so was a bit of a yoyo match lasting 2hours and a half. Great performance from Martin who recovered from 4-2 down in Final set to win epic." -- James
Player Comments:
- "Martin came back very well in the first set to get to a tie break after being 4-1 down. He started to hit some outright winners on the forehand, lobbed well and produced consistent volleys at the net - very hard to pass. I thought he would take second set after leading 3-0 and producing some more unreachable shots. Always a pleasure to play against thanks for the match Martin. " -- Tim

Player Comments:
- "A very scrappy game. Both lacking form. Robin demolished me in the second set and he was 4-1 up in the third. My offensive strokes were completely off and I had to change my tactics in a last ditch effort to get something from the game. From then on I played an exclusively defensive game in the hope that I would get some points from forcing some errors from Robin. Very luckily my strategy worked and I scraped through. " -- Simon

Player Comments:
- "A great match played in a fantastic spirit. Michael started to get to grips with my game in the second set. He took a 4-2 lead and again was 5-4 up with 2 set points. I managed to hang on and recover the situation to take the set 7-5. it was a pleasure to meet Michael who was a worthy opponent. " -- David
Player Comments:
- "We were lucky to have a great weather for the game but the markings on the court did not suit us. Nonetheless, we had a good chat and great rallies. The scores does not reflect Neil performance because he has a good serve and had couple of ACES. Cheers Neil for the game. " -- Michael
