The idea
for a local park tennis league began
when we were looking for a way of improving our own game. We set up the first, fledging league on Highbury Fields in
May 2005. It took off. Since then, hundreds of people have taken part, made friends and improved their game.
Because
it worked so well on Highbury Fields, we decided to try it inother places and we now run many leagues in public parks,
both in London and elsewhere. Beginning on July 6, 2009, the Haringey Tennis League will be a borough-wide league, and
we hope it will become a regular feature for tennis players, with four rounds per year.
