Rival Tennis Ladder

Play tennis any day, any time, at any court with local players on your level.

What's a Tennis Ladder?

A tennis ladder is a league where players of similar skill levels match up to play on a seasonal basis.
Ladder players coordinate matches on their own time and at locations of their choosing, with no obligation to play each week.
Players move up the ladder by participating in matches, while players who don’t participate move down the ladder.

How to Get Started

Proposals are the primary way to start matches in Rival Tennis Ladder. Propose a match at a time and place you want to play, and anyone on your ladder can accept.
