THE next Salisbury Tennis League starts on Thursday, April 6, with the last date for signing up being Monday.

The mixed-sex, singles league for adults is affiliated to the LTA and promotes friendly competitive tennis on the city's public courts.

Players are organised into groups of up to eight people of a similar standard with contact details being emailed to players who arrange their own matches.

Players can play on any court that suits them both.

Each round is usually eight weeks and costs £15 to enter. Matches are best of three sets.

Each player attempts to play each of the other player on their group once during the round.

If you complete three matches before the midpoint of a round you receive two bonus points and a bonus prize - either a pair of Local Tennis Leagues dampeners or a tube of tennis balls.

The winner of the group is the player with the most points at the end of the round and receives a certificate and tennis prizes.

Where possible, winners of groups are promoted to the group above for the next round.
