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.

- "As always, it was great to play with Steven. As the match started under disruptive condition for the first set by footballers at the next court, I hope we can play under better condition next time. Thanks for the match, Steven." -- Atsushi
Player Comments:

Player Comments:
- "Enjoyable match with Ben who is doing really well since picking up the sport recently; We had some great rallies and swapped tips throughout. Thanks Ben!" -- Neil
Player Comments:
- "Alex unfortunately suffered a broken string before we started. I lent him my spare racket but never easy with someone else’s racket. " -- John
Player Comments:
- "A grey day at Sefton Park; forecast indicated the morning rain would pass before our game, typically the opposite was the truth! First set was played in constant rain. With both of us evenly matched a succession of Carl's well placed lobs forcing me to stay away from the net. In the second set Carl took a 4-1 lead, which I managed to get back to 5-5, but couldn't take the final two games. Despite the rain clearing for the final set, exhaustion had set in with both of us struggling for consistency. Carl was a great opponent - I spent the majority of the game attempting to keep away from his strong forehand (my slice shots being helped along with the waterlogged balls!). A couple of recovery beers was necessary after this match!" -- Neil
Player Comments:
- "Great match on the courts at Princes Park on a warm and sunny morning. Scoreline not reflective of the game itself, lots of games going to deuce; James causing problems with a powerful serve" -- Neil
Player Comments:
- "Interesting start to the league!! Need to play more matches! " -- Benjamin
