The club now runs a tennis ladder which is open to all members over 16

WHAT IS THE TENNIS LADDER? The tennis ladder is a way for club members to meet and play matches with other members, at mutually convenient times

LADDER CATEGORIES: SINGLES & MIXED DOUBLES

ABILITY LEVELS: All levels welcome

MOVING UP THE LADDER: When a higher numbered player loses the winner will replace that individual, and the loser moves down one spot. Everyone in between the players will also move down one spot. If you challenge and lose, no one moves

HOW TO JOIN: email digswelltennis@gmail.com and let us know which ladder (s) you would like to belong to along with the times you are usually available to play. Note: By joining the ladder your contact details (phone & email) will be available to other ladder members. Once you join you will be emailed details of how to access contact details for other members

CHALLENGING: You may challenge a player ranked one or two spots above you. If you win your match you take the place of the person you defeated. Email or call the player being challenged and agree a date & time to play

Note: Should a player decline to play they will forfeit the match
