How it works · three steps
A real league, on your terms.
No fixed match nights, no team captain calling at 8 PM. Join a ladder, send challenges when your schedule allows, and the rankings take care of themselves.
Built for real players
Every detail, made for tennis.
We started TennisLadder because rec leagues were either too rigid (fixed schedules, team commitments) or too loose (random pickup, no real progression). This is the middle path.
Find players near you
Map view of every active player in your area. Filter by level, format, and availability — no more spamming WhatsApp groups looking for a match.
Schedule on your own time
Pick any time slot that works for both players. We sync with your calendar, send reminders, and handle reschedules automatically when life happens.
Honest, transparent ranking
Your ladder position is calculated from real matches against real opponents in your division. No mystery algorithm. See exactly why you moved up or down.
End-of-season playoffs
Top 4 of each division qualify for a single-elimination playoff. Win it, and you advance a division for the next season. Real stakes, real progression.
Court & weather aware
Suggests indoor courts when it rains, daylight-aware reminders, and a built-in list of public & private courts near every player's home base.
