Tennis Ladders
Singles and doubles ladders offer opportunities for competitive social tennis through much of the year, apart from May through to October when Summer League matches are on. If you wish to take part, please contact the following organisers for more information and to be included. You can enter either ladder as an individual. Once set up, ladders are organised through whatsapp groups.
Singles – Bridget Longworth 07419 822 972 Players are arranged in groups of 5 or 6 by ability. They arrange to play everyone in their group over a set period. Winners move up and losers go down to another group at the end of the period (approx 6 weeks).
Doubles – Colin Stott 07899 834 395 Played over a 3/4 week period. 4 players in a mixed group. They arrange to play together in one session at their convenience. 3 doubles sets are played so that each player plays with a different partner during the session. Sets are played to 4 with a tie-break at 3 all. Winners move up, losers move down in the next period.
Mix-in Club Sessions
Club sessions are organised so that members can turn up and mix in. These weekly sessions are open to all adult members who want to play social tennis. They are especially helpful to new members and are a great way to get to know others.
