What is a flexible tennis league?
LeagueTennis.com provides online flexible tennis leagues. Flexible tennis leagues provide players the convenience of flexible match scheduling:
- Teams register for upcoming leagues based on their skill level.
- Leagues are 6 matches of regular season play followed by a city-wide championship tournament.
- Teams choose a home court facility when registering and are placed in divisions based on their level and the location of their home court.
- Approximately half of the regular season matches are played at the team’s home court and the others at the opponent’s home court.
- Schedules are posted on the website the first day of the regular season.
- Teams contact their opponents throughout the season and schedule each match by its deadline. With flexible scheduling, players have the option of playing any time as long as the match is played by the deadline.
- Teams use the website to post scores and track their standings during the regular season.
- Top finishers in each division can participate in an optional city-wide championship tournament to determine city champions at each level.
- Division winners, city champions & city finalists receive bag tags and car magnets.

How do I register for a league?
To see the leagues available in your area, players must create a profile with LeagueTennis.com. There is no charge for creating a profile! The profile will allow you access to the membership areas of the site and to view open leagues. To create a profile, choose “Register -> New Profile” from the main navigation.
Once a player has created a profile, anytime they login they will be shown any leagues that are open for registration in their area. To register for a specific league, select the league from the list and follow the instructions to complete registration.
If you are registering for a doubles league, your partner must create a profile before you register so you can add them to your team. You will pay for both players when registering.

Where do I play my matches?
Players must choose a home facility when registering for a league. Players can choose courts in their neighborhood, at a public or private facility, or anywhere there is a court that can be reserved for play and that has restroom facilities. All leagues except the Weekday Women’s leagues must choose facilities with lighted courts since some matches may be played in the evenings. Players will typically play half of their matches at their home courts and half of their matches at their opponents’ courts. We create divisions based on playing level and location with an attempt to minimize the driving distance to away matches! If you do not have courts, contact us at support@leaguetennis.com to get a listing of public tennis facilities in your area!

How many matches will I play?
We offer 6 regular season matches. In addition, each league is followed by a single-elimination championship tournament that can result in up to 4 additional matches. The details of your schedule will be determined by the number of teams in your division. Divisions can be made up of 4 to 11 teams with a goal of keeping driving distances at a minimum. In divisions of 4 to 6, you will play 1 or more teams twice. In divisions of 8 to 11, you will not play every single team in your division. This allows us to be flexible in areas that may not have as many players and avoid a situation where a team is placed in a division of players that are not in their area.

How far will I have to drive for matches?
We create divisions based on playing level and player home facility location. Our goal is to keep driving distances to a minimum (15 miles or less). Plus with our 25 mile rule, if a match is over 25 miles, the players can request to meet at a court halfway. Please keep in mind that as leagues open in new cities, as the number of players grows, the driving distances and number of playing levels will get better and better each season! So be patient if we are just getting started in your city!
