Wimbledon's other great tennis event!
The idea for a league began
as a way to improve our own tennis. In May 2005, we set up the first, fledging league on Highbury Fields, north London, as
a way to play regular, competitive matches on our local, public courts. It took off. Since
it began, it has helped hundreds of players improve their game, find tennis partners and make friends.
The Wimbledon Park Tennis League began with its first round on 5 October, 2008, and we hope it will become
a regular feature with four singles rounds a year. Mixed Doubles is also now offered.
The Wimbledon Park Tennis League is run by
Sally Kinnes & Nigel Billen

Our Philosophy
We
have found that although there are plenty of leagues and ladders in clubs if you seek them out, there is not always a regular
league for players who play on one set of local public courts. Having one, we have discovered, helps build a sense of community,
puts local players in touch with each other, and gives people a way of seeing themselves improve.
Our
aim is to launch more leagues wherever there is a need, concentrating on public courts where finding opponents can be difficult.
