SBC’s first internal league takes place this summer.

The internal league is an opportunity to play competitively against other Men’s, Women’s or Mixed pairs at our club. 

We hope the matches will give people experience of playing consistent games with a partner and will be enjoyable as well as competitive.

How does it work?

We have four box leagues for the internal league; two Men’s, one Women’s and one Mixed. There are 20 pairs taking part in total.

Registrations for the league opened in June with almost 30 people signing up. Everyone has been allocated to at least one of four box leagues – two Men’s, one Women’s and one Mixed – and players who signed up as individuals have been allocated partners.

Unfortunately not everyone who wanted to play Mixed have been able to, due to the different number of male and female players, but everyone has been allocated to at least one league.

Play matches

Pairs will play against other pairs in their own box, booking a court and organising matches outside of club night. Pairs will play the best of three games up to 21 (2 points clear).

We suggest booking a court for an hour and splitting the court hire cost and shuttles between the four players. You can find player’s contact details in the internal summer league WhatsApp group but if you’re having any issues organising matches, please speak to us.

Matches should be played in July and August, ideally by these dates:

• Round 1 – by Thursday 20 July
• Round 2 – by Thursday 10 August
• Round 3 – by Thursday 31 August
