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.

Player Comments:
- "Ashley has a very effective unorthodox technique which took me a while to get used to with the first set being very close with a tie beak but I just managed to stay on top and take charge in the second set. Well played! " -- Sean
Player Comments:
- "Ashley was getting more in to the match in the second set but I managed to hold my game together. Thanks Ashley." -- David
Player Comments:
- "Sloppy first set by me losing 1-6 then came back with a vengeance and mirrored his score in the second set. The final set was very tight and could of gone either way so well played Alex " -- Sean
Player Comments:
- "Very long match with endless deuce games and also having to relocate to different tennis courts with lights, due to the short days creeping in and getting dark early. Very tough opponent to break down and look forward to playing again soon." -- Sean
Player Comments:
- "I am less than half of David’s age and this was a real tough match to come out on top with very long deuce games in the sun! I look forward to playing again." -- Sean
Player Comments:
- "This match was played in perfect conditions. As usual when playing Alex there were many great rallies. The second set in particular was very tight with a key game being at 2-2. I was love 40 down in the fifth game but managed to hang on to take the game and a 3-2 lead. It then developed to 5-2 and eventually winning 5-3. Thanks for the game Alex." -- David
Player Comments:
- "The match was played at Groveland's Park in very windy conditions which made playing that bit more difficult. This is Steve's first time in the Local Tennis League and he put up a brave fight in the difficult conditions. Steve just needs to keep working at his game and playing as many matches as possible. Thanks for the game Steve and good luck in the future." -- David

Player Comments:
- "Spiros was a great player; the first set score doesn't accurately reflect the reality, as he had many wasted chances. 2nd set was a close, hard-fought battle. I've really enjoyed our game." -- Alexandru
