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.
- Where possible, winners of groups are promoted to the group above for the next round.

Player Comments:
- "what a lovely way to spend an April evening....good tennis 90 mins for 2 sets....well done Brian" -- Malcolm
Player Comments:
- "Thanks for the game Jamie. Hopefully next time we are both in better health and we can push ourselves a bit harder! But I still enjoyed the game played in the right spirit... despite all the coughing and spluttering ! " -- Brian
Player Comments:
- " Thanks for travelling over to Wycombe to play Jamie. Nice to be back on the court with you, hope to see you next round " -- James
Player Comments:
- "the virus won.....jamie with more practice (only played twice since Christmas) and no ill health.....everyone watch out. Played in a great spirit Jamie.....nothing in it." -- Malcolm
Player Comments:
- "Malcolm is an excellent match player - he's stingier than Scrooge when it comes to giving away free points. So to beat him, you have to be at your best. I certainly wasn't today (if anyone sees my forehand, please write in), perhaps because Malcolm was forcing me to push for winning shots rather than just get it back in play. Well done Malc, until next time..." -- Tim
Player Comments:
- "Good to see you again Tim, we both played much better in a knock about after the match had finished! I’m glad nobody was watching!! See you next time and hopefully we can raise our games (and hopefully I will get some of your lobs back!)" -- James
Player Comments:
- "Nice to be back on the court with you again Brian. There were a few very long rallies which had us both scampering around the court, which Brian came out on top of more often than not - it’s a shame they don’t count for more than one point! " -- James
Player Comments:
- "It was a shame about the weather as it spoiled what would’ve been a really good match. It was very stop/start and I got lucky with a few gusts of wind pushing some of Malcolm’s shots long. Hopefully next time the sun will be out! " -- James
Player Comments:
- "As close a match as the scores suggest! In truth there were only a handful of great rallies, with the combination of wind and a low-bouncing surface making it difficult to play the way both Jamie and I prefer to. But if anyone had been watching, they'd have been as tense as both Jamie and I were towards the end..." -- Tim

Player Comments:
- "Nice match - played nice & early ! " -- Marina
Player Comments:
- " fun match on a beautiful June day. Oh sorry, April, day! Very evenly matched and some lessons to take home for both of us... Marc always gives a good game and today was no exception. At some point I will learn to effectively return his serve! The rallies really got going in the third set, a little too late for both of us. I have certainly never laughed so much on a tennis court (I believe it was mutual!). Thanks for the game, and we'll even up the score at your courts, Marc" -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "A two-hour epic including a rare tiebreak in the first set. Lots of long rallies and deuce games throughout. Thanks for the match Ari!" -- Steven
Player Comments:
- "Good to play with Ari. Covered the court well and with some well timed lobs!! Look forward to next time." -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "Very long two hour match with tense rallies and lots of deuces. Could have gone either way. Thanks for the match Ari and look forward to playing you again!" -- Kabir
Player Comments:
- "Really great competitive match today. A few more frost serves in play and the score could have been a very different story. Thanks Marina " -- Alex
Player Comments:
- "Great match today! Thanks Mark " -- Alex
Player Comments:
- "The game didn’t really spark to life very often- a few good rallies. Lots of deuces and double faults. " -- Marc
Player Comments:
- "Great match, another windy morning which is becoming a common theme. " -- Alex
Player Comments:
- "battle against the wind... Wind was kinder to me. Mark was getting back to singles and was playing doubles court - I dont fancy my chances against him in doubles. " -- Marina
Player Comments:
- "A good competitive game in extremely windy conditions - thanks Kabir!" -- Steven
Player Comments:
- "Really fun match is some really tricky windy conditions!" -- Alex
