Local Tennis Leagues, the UK’s most popular tennis league is coming to Stroud. The leagues are revolutionising tennis in the UK with nearly 200 up and running nationwide. Based on public facilities, the leagues are designed to make it easy for anyone to play friendly, competitive tennis matches whether they’re part of a club or not.
‘Public courts often have great coaching or sessions for children, but there has not previously been an easy way for adults to play matches.’ Says Local Tennis Leagues co-founder Sally Kinnes. ‘We offer a structure that makes it easy for players to do just that whilst getting some great exercise at the same time. It also means you never need to be short of a playing partner ever again!’
The league is open to men and women of all abilities aged 18 and over. Players are organised into groups of 6-8 players of similar standards and they arrange matches against each other at a mutually convenient time. Any court that suits both players can be used, including some of the fantastic facilities in Stroud so it’s a flexible format that can fit around busy lifestyles.
Everyone who completes 3 matches before the halfway point in the league is sent a free can of tennis balls and with prizes for the winner of each group, the chance to meet new people to play and to enter the LTA’s members ballot for next year’s Wimbledon tickets, the league offers adults in Stroud a new, modern way to play tennis.
Round 1 begins on Thursday 28 June and finishes on Wednesday 22 August.
