This is how it works:
- We have doubles and singles rounds!
- Players/teams are organised into groups of between 5 to 9 people of a similar standard
- The league is mixed sex, 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!)
- In doubles teams may be any combination of gender
- 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

- 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

- "Avoiding the worst of the rain, we were still forced to step gingerly around a very slippery court surface to get the match played. Pietro hit some great serves and returns in the beginning of the match and quickly went a double break up, showing little weakness and a good all-round game. He lost some rhythm on his serve and from then on the match was extremely close. My serve worked well and I got a lot of luck with net chords to edge the first set. This pattern carried deep into the second until Pietro dug in, found some steely consistency in his ground game and forced me to serve for it. He saved 3 match points and watched two break points pass by before I finally got the volley I was looking for to seal it." -- Jamie

Player Comments:
- "A real see-saw of a match. At 5-2 down Arnold already thought he'd lost the first set, changed up his tactics and brought himself back into a tiebreak! He had 2 serves for the set at 6-3 up but I saved both points, winning 5 in a row to take the tiebreak 8-6. The second set appeared more 1-sided, I served for it and held 3 match points at 40-0, 5-2 up. To his credit with 2 returns hitting the line Arnold saved them all and brought himself back into contention, winning 4 games in a row, and gave himself a chance to serve for the set. However he didn't hold serve and we had another tiebreak under the lights. I earned another four match points and converted the second, taking the breaker and the match 7-3." -- Jamie

With my spare racquet Cath's serve became a whole new beast. The slice was incredible, pushing me miles off the court to hold her serve well and tie the set at 5 games all. Then the break through.
