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.

Player Comments:
- "Great match against Anthony, long games with many deuces especially on his serve. The score doesn’t reflect the struggle, Tony had many game points on his serve but didn’t convert. Very nice meeting you, hopefully we will play more often and sharpen your competition skills. Enjoy the rest of the matches!!" -- Mihai
Reveal CommentAlvaro Cordero bt Christopher Belcourt (Jul 31) 6-3, 6-0
Player Comments:
- "Chris is a great player. He played a very aggressive first set, serving well and attacking every chance he had. In the second set his serve failed him and he tried to change his tactics but couldn't quite do it. We had some very tight games and I managed to win the key points. The score doesn't reflect how tight the set was." -- Alvaro

Reveal CommentMihai Nagit bt Michael Archer (Jul 23) 6-4, 6-4
Player Comments:
- "A tough match on a gruelling 33 degrees heat wave!! First set started with an unexpected 4-1 lead and serving when Michael really kicked in returning fantastically, breaking my serve twice and equalised 4-4. A long battle in the 9th game with 4 deuces and a strong service game concluded the set 6-4. Second set I went up 2-0 and 15-40 on Michael’s serve and thought if I get to 3-0 I have a chance to close the match in 2 sets and run home avoiding the sun and have a cold blonde beer. It was not to be, Michael as always fought his way back and won 3 consecutive long disputed games. Had to hold carefully the next 2 games managing to go 4-4. Last 2 games were hard with both players exhausted and bit nervous. Great to see you again Michael!" -- Mihai

Player Comments:
- "Extremely tough match played over two days. We started saturday morning with a very long set, with no breaks of serve that I managed to win at the end. Mike came back strong in the second set and broke my serve twice. Unfortunately we ran out of time with Mike 5-1 up in the second set. We continued the match on Tuesday with Mike serving for the set. I managed to break his serve for the first time and close the score to 5-4 with me serving. After several deuces, Mike played brilliant tennis and won the game and the set. The third set was a battle. Very long rallies under the blazing sun. Mike forces me to play my best tennis. Really looking forward to our next match." -- Alvaro
