LTA National Tennis League (formerly Team Tennis)
Following the recent LTA re-brand we are delighted to announce that we now have a new name for this Competition. The Team Tennis event has now been renamed the LTA National League.
Entry for National League Summer Essex 2020 is now open and closes on Friday 7 February 2020.
National League Summer runs from April to July in a 15-week league season and provides a fun and exciting tennis experience for players of all ages from 8U to Open (adult).
New Events
All age groups that have previously ran will continue from 8U through to Open, however, there are now additional 11U and Open Mixed events across the County Tier. Both these events are optional for each County and will largely depend on the number of entries we receive whether they run or not.
Entry Information
Entry details and entry fees must be made through the online entry system by following this link to National League - Summer page where you will see a link to [Enter Now] or follow the link below. A short How to Enter video can also be found here which will help you through the process. Please spend some time speaking to those involved at your venue to consider which team(s) the club could or should enter.
