- 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

- 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:

Player Comments:
- "Difficult game in very windy conditions. Think I might have benefited from this being Maciej's first game in Div 1 after being promoted from Div 3, as he gradually got better as the match went on and I feel he will improve further in future matches. He definitely hit the shot of the match - a blistering forehand passing shot on the run when I thought my volley had won the point!!!" -- David

Player Comments:
- "What...an...epic...match. A two hour classic, many many deuce games. At one point in the second set Marcin was 4-1 up only to let a few games go. One game I particularl on his serve at 5-3 went to endless deuces until finally I broke only to loose the set later. The third set was played with some very tired limbs - more instinct than skill. Great match and well played!!" -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "Great battle. Marcin is a very fair player and a fighter!! " -- Mohammad

- "A good fun game played in autumn sun! Some competitive games and deuces. All the best with the remaining games Jamie - and with your upcoming marriage!!" -- Mark
Player Comments:
- "Score line doesn't give show how competitive the match was. Jamie played very well indeed, each game was a close one." -- Mohammad
