Schools

The LTA run a programme of three, nationally organised competitions, providing secondary-age pupils with the chance to play competitive tennis relevant to their ability level. All competitions begin locally and culminate in a final. Entry to all competitions is free.

DIVISION 2

The majority of teams compete in Division 2 in a localised league during the summer term only. Players have a limited amount of experience in competition and are of a recreational standard. A rating cap applies at Division 2 to provide more appropriate fixtures for teams involved.

Division 2 winners receive prizes and certificates from the LTA.
