Organise a competition
Anyone can run a competition, all you need is access to a local court and an interest in getting involved in tennis. We're here to support you along the way.
We are working closely with the LTA to set up a competition toolkit suitable for all. We want to give you advice on the number of courts you need, how to set up a ladder or draw, and offer you advice and resources that you'll need to run a local competition.
Watch this space for more on the competition toolkit, and to get more information in the meantime, contact your LTA County Office
Have fun with competition
Competition is fun. Everyone can play competetive tennis, and by organising a competition you can offer the opportunity to others and take part as well.
There are many different formats of competition, such as:
- Ladders
- House matches
- Team competitions
- Inter-school
- Inter-park
- Leagues
- Cardio Tennis
- Turbo Tennis
- King of the Court
Don't feel you have to play for a trophy, why not play for a bouquet of flowers, or a bottle of wine? Competition can be social: challenge your mates during the lunch hour; just a tie break will do.
Competition in schools
We want schools to have competition both in and out of school. Set up ladders, house matches, even tie-breaks at tea-time. Why not organise a competition with your neighbouring school? You can even turn it into a curriculum exercise. For more information on schools tennis and getting involved visit our Schools & Colleges section
