Anyone can sign up to play at www.localtennisleagues.com
Leagues are open to anyone aged 18 and over, and offer the chance to meet other players and play in friendly competition, without the need to join a club, as matches are arranged to suit the players.
“Local Tennis Leagues offer a great opportunity for people of all abilities and ages, above 18, to get involved in friendly, competitive tennis at a venue and time to suit them, without joining a club,” said Tennis Wales chief executive, Peter Drew.
“We now have leagues established or launching at venues in North and South Wales, and we’re hoping more will follow.”
