Welcome to the Gravesham Tennis Club Box League! Whether you're an experienced player or new to competitive tennis, our Box League offers a fantastic way to enjoy the sport, improve your game, and meet other members of the club.

What is the Box League?

The Box League is a fun, structured format designed for both singles and doubles tennis. It allows players to compete against others of a similar standard, ensuring competitive and enjoyable matches every time. The league is open to all adult members, regardless of skill level, and juniors aged 13 or over are also encouraged to participate.

How Does It Work?

Singles:
In the singles Box League, you’ll be placed in a group with three other players of similar ability. During each round, you’ll need to arrange matches with each of the other players in your group. The aim is to complete all your matches before the round ends. It’s a great way to challenge yourself, improve your skills, and enjoy some friendly competition.

Doubles:
The doubles Box League adds a unique twist to the format. You’ll be placed in a group of four players, and throughout the round, you’ll partner with each person in your group to play against the other two. For example:

• Match 1: Player A & Player B vs Player C & Player D
• Match 2: Player A & Player C vs Player B & Player D
• Match 3: Player A & Player D vs Player B & Player C

This format ensures that everyone gets a chance to play with and against different players, making it both challenging and fun.
