Ladder league format means on each court, the top player moves up and the bottom player moves down each week. This helps ensure we have competitive matches each week. No referees, players must know how to serve, keep score, and resolve conflicts amicably. Sign up on your own. Partners will rotate each week and each game. We will also need subs.
