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

Player Comments:
- "Another cracking match with Matt on a cold, dank night in an otherwise empty VP. The first set score looks one-sided but was anything but. I think Matt had break points in all of my service games which I somehow managed to hold on to. Matt got on a roll in the second set to lead 5-3. We both played pretty well throughout with some epic rallies and as usual Matt hit lots of winners particularly off his majestic backhand. " -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Beautiful morning at Victoria Park, but the low sun made playing at one end of the court a very different proposition to the other! Good match with Tom, it was tight at the start and then I hit some good form and found the corners pretty regularly. " -- Stefan
Player Comments:
- "Another very enjoyable, tight three setter with Martin. Gusty winds and a skiddy wet surface meant neither of us found much consistent rhythm. As usual very close and could have gone either way. Looking forward to the next one! " -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Good match on a windy evening at Leamington. Very pleased with how I played and made the most of home advantage on the astro. JB made some good angled returns." -- Stefan
Player Comments:
- "Epic match with JB, nearly two and a half hours. JB dominated the first set and went 4-2 up in the second. I managed to claw it back and got on top in the third but JB wouldn't give up saving several match points and I eventually needed a lucky net cord to get over the line. Great match, looking forward to the next one!" -- Tom
Player Comments:
- "Nice match on a sunny morning. I was hitting very well to take the first set and was leading in the second. Then Martin came back with 4 games in a row and made things difficult at the end. Looking forward to our next match." -- Stefan
Player Comments:
- "Jean-Baptiste was unlucky to meet me on top of my form. He had game points which he was unable to convert whilst I made very few mistakes in the entire match. I’m sure it will be closer next time. " -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "This was a bit of an epic match! We started on the artificial clay courts and it was really close. I hadn't played Alex before and was really impressed by how aggressively he was hitting his groundstrokes. Loads of pace and low over the net making it pretty difficult for me to play my normal game. In the next two sets we swapped to the astro as we couldn't keep the lights on the clay. I changed tactics a little and I think the court change also helped as I was able to play a bit flatter and more aggressive. Great match, really enjoyed it, cheers Alex! Well played. " -- Matthew
Player Comments:
- "Excellent match. Extremely close. Only 2 break points in whole of first set with a single break of serve. 2nd set nip-and-tuck all the way with both of us saving numerous set-points. Thanks Matt, look forward to the decider!" -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "Started under very windy conditions at Boat Club on Thursday night. Match was at 6-3, 3-1, deuce to me when there was a power cut! Resumed this morning (Sunday) to finish off the match. Very sporting of Alex to agree knowing full well he would be under the weather following a heavy Saturday night. -- Martin" -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "Cracking game on a cold slippery court, that got more competitive as the match went on. I benefited from a slow start from JB, and my serves staying consistent for once. Thanks for the game JB, look forward to playing again!" -- Alex
Player Comments:
- "Always good to play with Matt. We were lucky to get some dry(ish) weather and decent conditions. Like in our last match, I got off to a fast start before edging a much closer second set with a lot of deuce games. There were lots of good rallies from the back of the court and some good forehand winners." -- Stefan

Match Results:
Player Comments:
- "A lovely crisp morning for tennis - we were lucky storm Brendan had blown away. An enjoyable match - Prabjit was very patient with all my double faults at the start - I was lucky that I was able to start landing a few more serves as the match wore on. Good luck for the rest of your matches, Prabjit. " -- Martin
Player Comments:
- "As always, a really enjoyable and close match against Martin. Luckily the rain never got too bad at the start of the match and the sun came out in the end, causing its own problems! I look forward to our next encounter in the league!" -- Neil
Player Comments:
- "A fun match to play in perfect conditions. Some rallies and lots of games going to deuce. And lots of good winners from myself." -- Matthew
Player Comments:
- "Really fun match played in lovely sunny conditions, had some really good points and felt a lot closer than the score line suggests." -- Neil
Player Comments:
- "A very close match in tough conditions at the beginning. Some good rallies as well. An enjoyable match!" -- Matthew
