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

- 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:
- "Well, what a match! Craig is a brilliant chap and a great player, very solid and tough to get mistakes out of. It got quite dark at some points with the clouds of rain coming over, but thankfully when the lights came on court, I seemed to come alive too and shook of rustiness, so there was a bit of a change of pace and rhythm. Still, a tough match and very little separated us in the first and last sets. Great fun and great spirits. Thanks Craig and good luck for the rest of matches!" -- Jordi

Player Comments:
- "It's the first time we have met and I congratulate him for putting in a sterling performance. As a newcomer, He 'seemed' to be learning the rules of singles play but he learned quickly and made our match thougher than others I've played. I found out that Amanjit is pretty quick around the court and strikes the ball well. We'll played. Thanks" -- Prev
Player Comments:
- "So nice to meet up with Hellinda. Last time we played, beat me. The weather was good though a little windy. We had a long warm up session nearly 30: minutes. The games were very close and it took me a few games to cope with her left handed passing shots and cross CRT drives. Some long rallies encountered during the two sets. Hellinda served well and left slices really whip the ball away from you. Could have easily gone to three setter as very even between us. Excellent match played in an extremely friendly manner. Look forward to playing against Hellinda again." -- Prev
Player Comments:
- "Lovely to meet Cristina. A very enjoyable match played in great spirits. Cristina has a solid serve and sharp cross court shots. I had to dig deep and defend the angles to win those 50-50 games. Thanks Cristina and I look forward to next time!" -- Kabir
Player Comments:
- "An excellent match. Played in a great spiri and very evenly balanced.. Loads of games went to dueces with one games at 4 - 4 went to eight dueces (which Kabir finally won). Great battle in 2nd set resulting in 6 - 6 and a tie break. 2nd set tie break ended with 7 - 4 to Prev Kabir loves to rally and usually won the points with longer rallies. Extremely well played Kabir and must have more matches. " -- Prev
Player Comments:
- "In and out of rain meant the court got too slippery. Will continue another time." -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "Very kind of Christina to get this match played despite the windy conditions. Excellent servicing and some excellent passing shots broke my service games 3times. Christina is very agile, retrieving a number of shots which I thought were winners. Score does not really reflect tightness of games. Thanks again Christina." -- Prev
Player Comments:
- "Absolutely enjoyed playing with Doris. She's got such a solid game and a wicked slice forehand that kept getting better as the match went on. Second set score doesn't reflect the closeness of the games (lots of deuces). Thanks Doris and I hope we play again very soon!" -- Kabir
Player Comments:
- "Great to play Cristina again. We had some good rallies and Cristina hit a series of cracking shots down the line and cross court. Look forward to next time." -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "Lovely match played in a very friendly spirit after doubles social play at our club - I almost managed to take the game into a third set, but Prev put his foot down just in time. " -- Doris
