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
- 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 available on 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:
- "Daniel started strong and took an early lead. His serve was particularly impressive, not missing his first serves and hitting the lines. I managed to drag myself back into the set and just about sneak it, which seemed to be the turning point in a closely fought match. " -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Unfortunately Marcos’ serve let him down a bit today which kept him from getting into a good rhythm. Had his forehand out though which made for the usual fun rallies and happy to have prevailed despite a loss of concentration in the 2nd set..." -- David

Player Comments:
- "Fun game with Dejan. The first set we both struggled with the sun on one side of the court and the result was completely dictated by being able to win a single game on that side of the court. The sun went down at the start of the second set and we were able to have some good rallies. Thank you." -- Thomas
Player Comments:
- "I managed to stifle Seb's game in the first set, but second was more even. I was just a little more consistent on serve and forehand today. Seb has a very good down the line forehand and attacks well from the back of the court, am sure he will keep improving with his dedication and commitment to the sport-always good to see!" -- Omar
Player Comments:
- "Larkhall Park has two working lights out of eight. Don't bother booking evening matches there until June time......hopefully resume this match at the weekend!" -- Omar
Player Comments:
- "Long exhausting match but enjoyable. Neither playing our best so a bit of cat and mouse play. " -- Dave
Player Comments:
- "Amazing match. Game of aggressive Vs defensive. Tiring but fun and played in good spirit." -- Dave
Player Comments:
- "You know you're in a strong league when you have players of Julian's quality in Group 2. At 1-6 1-3 down things were looking very bleak, but I hung in there and Julian's level dipped just a little from the great shotmaking and serving in set 1. Great battle, and look forward to the next one!" -- Omar
