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 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.

Player Comments:
- "I haven't been in great form recently and Stu admitted that it had been a while since he had played, so this was never gonna be a classic! Although not at the levels of the games we have played in the past, it was still a decent match considering. It was pretty even early on with both players holding serve for the 1st few games. I managed to nick a break and keep my serve to stay in front. Stuart's natural angle from the left hander puts a lot of pressure on your backhand and after a ropey start I managed to start hitting reasonably well on that side, even managing a couple of winners. 2nd set followed a similar pattern and I held on for the win. Cheers for the game as always Stu!" -- Paul

Player Comments:
- "A close, lengthy match played in the early evening . I have played Chris several times before and our matches are always close but- prior to this one- with him coming out on top - on this occasion I made fewer errors than previously and managed to close out the first set 6-3. The second set was nip and tuck and could have gone either way largely going with serve - at 6-5 with Chris serving looked like we were headed for a tie break and also when I lost two match points but luckily just managed to squeeze out the third one . As always with Chris an enjoyable game played in good spirit over nearly 2 hours " -- Peter
Player Comments:
- "Both players struggled severing on the sunny side on a lovely afternoon for Tennis. After a struggling to make his mark on the match in the first Set, Dick came back strongly in the second, gaining confidence for the remaining matches in the league." -- Mark Philipp

Player Comments:
- "A very good game played on a pleasant evening. Peter played some wonderful tennis throughout and had me covering for a lot of the court. A mid-match blip had me down 4-1 in the second set but managed to put a run together to see the game out. Good luck for the rest of the competition Peter. " -- Sam
Player Comments:
