- 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

Player Comments:
- "A combination of Nick struggling with his serve and struggling with my serve a bit meant that this never really got started as a contest. Good luck for the rest of your games mate" -- Paul
Player Comments:
- "A decent game with Michael. A few double faults from him in the first set and it taking him a little while to get to grips with my serve meant that the first set wasn't as close as the second. In the second set he served much better and there was a lot more tennis, lots of decent rallies and deuce games. He was unlucky at 3-4, missing a decent chance at 30 all, and then I managed to close the set out. It was an enjoyable game and I'm sure Michael will pick up a few points and give everyone in this league a good game!" -- Paul

Player Comments:
- "A match that was much closer than the score suggests. Banin was returning to tennis after a long break but she quickly found her touch in 3 very tight initial games. Peter just managed to win many of the critical points but it was a very enjoyable game played in both good spirit and lovely weather " -- Peter
