Blue Sky Free Adult Competitions

We have partnered with Scala sports to create a series of FREE local Adult competitions, making it easier to play matches and find practice partners of similar level.

The main reasons stopping people playing tennis are:

  1. They don’t have anyone to play with
  2. Being worried about playing level
  3. Competitions can seem like pressure and unfriendly environments
  4. Difficult to commit to certain days & times

Our competitions solve these problems!

  1. Bring players together in one place
  2. Organise everyone into similar standards from Beginner to Advanced, so you play people of similar standard
  3. The spirit of the league is for fun and enjoyment rather than reward and ranking.
  4. You can organise games when it suits you
  5. The app also lets you find players of similar level so you can build a list of practice partners outside of the leagues.

Our current Scala competitions
