Trafford

Tennis League

This is how it works:

• Players are organised into groups of up to 8 people of a similar standard
• Contact details are emailed
• Players arrange their own matches
• It is a mixed sex, singles league, so men and women play each other
• 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
• The evening before the round starts you will receive an email with all the contact details of the players in your group
• 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.
