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

- 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:
- "What a great match on a frosty sunny day! After defrosting the court for 1h, the battle begun with Max playing very well going up 3-1 and 5-3 and closing 6-4 the first set at the second chance on my service. 2nd set was a battle the first 4 games with long 6/7 deuces that went my way and put off Max for 20 min however mentally preparing for the 3rd set. The decider was an epic battle in the first 7 games with Max giving it all, diving at least 10 times, once twice in a point at a drop shot followed by a lob. His compatriot Boris Becker invented this on Wimbledon grass and Max took it further on hard courts. After 9 deuces and breaking for 4-3 lead the match went my way with relatively quick 2 games. Great match once again Gladiator Max!" -- Mihai
