TENNIS LADDERS
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.
How to join
- Download the free Sportch app from your app store (https://sportch.page.link/app).
- Open the app and tap Sign Up
- During registration ensure to:
- Select ‘our club’ as your club by tapping the “Link Club” button
- Set your ability level using the slider
- You’re done and ready to play
After signing up, you will be placed in a zone of 5 players based on ability… send them a match-request to get started! Good luck!
[Your starting position is based on how you self-assessed yourself during registration and your ranking will update as and when results are confirmed.]
