Ways to play

Social sessions, box leagues, a club ladder, tournaments, and inter-club teams. Something for every ability, age, and appetite for a match.

Make it a match

Two flexible routes to competitive singles, arranged member to member. These are run on rotation.

Box leagues

Our online mixed singles league gives members regular match practice without committing to a fixed weekly slot. Players are grouped by standard, with a box for every level, then contact one another and arrange each match themselves.

Club ladder

Challenge another member, arrange the match at a time that works for you, and move up the ladder. Choose opponents around your level or test yourself against someone higher up. It is a flexible way to meet more members, sharpen your game, and play more competitive singles around the club.

Inter-club teams

We field men’s, women’s, mixed, and veterans teams in the Kent and North Kent Leagues.

Team practice is on Monday evenings. Most matches are at weekends, with some summer evening fixtures.

Team selection is coordinated by the captains. Register your interest and they can help place you at the right level.
