- 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:
- "An enjoyable match against Martin, having played him in previous rounds and was good to see him back in the league. We had a number of good rallies and there were a mixture of shots during our match, some worked and some didn't..... Abington Park courts are well maintained and in beautiful surroundings and it was good too see that nearly all the courts were in use. Looking forward to my matches booked against Alan and Andrew next week - new opponents (I think)! Also hoping to arrange a game against Jackie this weekend, which is always good fun and challenging." -- Karen
