Sportch

We are pleased to introduce a new club singles ladder open to all players. It’s open to players of all ages and abilities and runs through a simple, fun and free app called “Sportch”. Doubles ladders will be introduced soon.

The competition and match formats are very flexible, meaning it will fit well into any schedule. You can join or leave at any point, play as much or as little as you want or take breaks as required.

St John's runs Sportch sessions on Sunday mornings from 8.30 a.m.

How to join
