For details of format and box draws etc. for the current season of the box league please visit the following page:
Singles Box League – Spring 2017
The format is designed to encourage and assist members to play singles on a regular basis against players of a similar standard. We hope this will help all players at all standards to:
- Have fun
- Have scheduled matches against closely matched opponents
- Expand your circle of hitting partners
- Improve your tennis
What to Expect
- The box league is a singles league which is designed to run on an ongoing basis
- Entrants are placed in a box of 4-6 players of similar standard (sort of like a champions league group)
- During each mini-season (4-6 weeks), you play each other player in your box once
- At the end of each mini-season, players are promoted, relegated or remain at the same level depending on their results
- The boxes are then re-drawn and a new mini-season begins
- Over time, players will rise and fall depending on results and each mini-season should see different opponents and challenges
- Players will organise their own matches which must be completed before the end of each mini-season
- The schedule will not be taxing. Each player should expect to play something like 4 games in 6 weeks
- This should leave enough space to schedule and play matches even around holidays etc.
