Our Doubles Box League runs throughout the summer and is a great way to enjoy regular doubles tennis in a relaxed but competitive environment. Players compete for individual points across the season, with the chance to progress into a knockout stage and finals day. The emphasis is on fun, variety, and match play, while still offering a clear structure and competitive edge.

How it works

Players are divided into 4 groups (boxes) of 5 players. Each player will:

• Play a minimum of 4 matches (sitting out 1 round)
• Have the opportunity to play up to 6 matches if they reach the knockout stages
• Rotate partners for each match
• Compete as individuals, not fixed teams

This format ensures you play with and against a variety of players, helping to develop all-round doubles skills.

Match format

All matches are played as:

• Best of 2 sets
• If sets are split (1–1), a 10-point match tie-break is played as the third set

Fixtures & organisation

• Players are responsible for organising their own matches
• Please do not leave arranging matches until the last minute
• Matches should be completed within the allocated round periods

Rounds take place across: May, June,July

Finals are held in: August

Scoring system

This is an individual points-based league, players accumulate points across all matches to determine standings within their box.

Points are awarded as follows:

• Win 2–0 → 4 points
• Win 2–1 → 3 points
• Loss 1–2 → 1 point
• Loss 0–2 → 0 points

At the end of the box stage:

• The top 2 players from each group progress to the knockout stage
• This creates an 8-player knockout draw consisting of Semi-finals and a Final to crown our champions
