NEW Singles & Doubles Leagues July-Sept 2024

The NEW Singles & Doubles Leagues for July, August & September will be starting soon, if you are not yet involved or are new to the club and wish to take part then please let me know, text me with your preferred league to play in on 07973 425952 or reply directly to this email.

For those already playing in the leagues and you wish to continue you need not do anything, you will be automatically enrolled in the leagues whether or not you are promoted, relegated or remain in the same league.

However, there is an exception: if you have played 2 or fewer matches in the last 3 months you will be removed and not automatically included in the next set of leagues, you must get in touch with me if you wish to play in the next set of leagues.

If you wish to cease playing in the leagues, please, please let me know before the leagues are published. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT. If a number of players pull out soon after the leagues were published, this upsets the balance of some leagues to the detriment of those players in those leagues, so please, please let me know if you no longer wish to play in the leagues.

Naturally, if you are changing partners in the Doubles Leagues you must also let me know.

For those entering, bear in mind that at least 1 match must be played within 5 weeks of the league start date, otherwise the player/team will be removed from the leagues.
Naturally a player/team can make a representation to explain their inactivity and intentions to play in the remaining weeks, however, this representation must be made before the end of the first 5 week period, they will then have 1 further week to play their first match , if no match is played, they will be removed from the leagues.

Important Note:
Playing in the leagues is a commitment of time and effort, not only on the courts but in arranging matches, unfortunately not everyone can manage to play as much as they wish to, and for various reasons, their intentions at the outset of the leagues become compromised and they sadly end up playing very few or even no matches at all, as much as it is a disappointment for themselves, it is also disappointing and frustrating for other players/teams in the leagues.

If you think that you will be away or unavailable for a good part of the July-Sept period, PLEASE, DO NOT enter the leagues, instead, perhaps take some coaching, play some friendlies and return into the leagues when you can see yourself playing an active role throughout the 3 month period.

The current leagues finish on Sunday 30th June and I hope to have the new leagues up and running soon afterwards.
