National League
Go head-to-head with teams from across your county, region and even the nation in one of the biggest team tennis competitions in Britain – the Junior National League.
Open to teams from all LTA registered venues – the Junior National League gives players of all ages and abilities the chance to battle it out alongside against a variety of different opponents alongside their friends.
So, assemble your team and find out how you can get involved in the next Junior National League competitions.
We run County Tier team events for all age groups (8U-18U) – so anyone can get involved!
Teams should be from an LTA registered venue (that could be a park, club, school or university) and should have a minimum of six players – competing in both singles and doubles.
Premier Tier competitions are for 12U, 14U and 18U age groups – boys and girls. These take place on a regional and national level – with the champions in each region progressing to the finals at the National Tennis Centre in Roehampton.
The top teams in four set regions (based on county registration) may be accepted in each age group event based on the rankings of nominated players at entry stage.
The Summer National League gets underway from 3 April – check out the full event fixture schedule:
