New springtime tennis league

Horsham District Council are working with national organisation Local Tennis Leagues Ltd (NTL) to launch an exciting new tennis league in Horsham Park this spring.

The Local Tennis League concept is all about creating more opportunities for people to play a tennis match in their local park environment.

The Council’s recently refurbished tennis courts in Horsham Park make the perfect venue for friendly, competitive tennis for local players.

The new league is an ideal way for people to get back into tennis, enabling them to play singles matches with people of similar abilities.

Every player who completes three matches by the midway point of any round of tennis will receive a free can of tennis balls and there is a prize for the winner of each group.

Local adult players of all standards are warmly invited to join the new Horsham League.

Horsham District Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure and Culture said:

“Promoting good health and wellbeing is at the heart of what we do at the Council and new opportunities like this do much to support this.

“It’s great to see our Sports Development team working so hard to create new programmes to encourage as many people as possible to get involved with something new, get active, and socialise with new people.

“We have great tennis facilities in Horsham Park so let’s make the most of them.

“I would encourage as many of you as possible to sign up and get involved in friendly competitive tennis.”

The leagues are open to adults aged 18 and over. They are mixed sex, singles leagues, so men and women play each other.

If you would you like to play more singles or are looking for new people to play, the

Horsham Tennis League is a great way to have some competitive fun.

Please sign up by 30 March for the first league block starting in April (finishing late May).

Players are organised into groups of a similar level and arrange their own matches at a mutually convenient time over eight weeks.

Why not give it a go and see what a difference playing matches makes to your game.
