This is how it works:
- Players are organised into groups of up to 8 people of a similar standard
- Contact details are emailed
- Players arrange their own matches
- It is a mixed sex, singles league, so men and women play each other
- You can play on any court that suits both players
The league is:
- For everybody!
- 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
- 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
- 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 certificate and tennis prizes
- Where possible, winners of groups are promoted to the group above for the next round.

Player Comments:
- "Some very good rallies won on both sides. Weather, very sunny and hot." -- Joanna
Player Comments:
- "This was a very challenging match under very challenging weather conditions. " -- Tanya
Player Comments:
- "Daniel was a great sport and had a great attitude; for a relative newbie, he befitted himself well picking up a few games. A great evening weather-wise for tennis as well!" -- Omar
Player Comments:
- "Consistency for both of us was definitely an issue, and the final score doesn't reveal a few deuce games on Tanya's serve that if held, may have changed the match. In the end though, my serve was certainly helped by the dodgy court surface more than her's (stay away from Court 6 @ Hyde Park - it's rubbish!), and this was likely the key differentiator." -- Omar
