DRCTL matches are the most competitive matches our club has to offer. Enjoy competing in home games as well as travelling to other clubs in the Durham region, and also participating in team practice sessions to improve your tennis skills.
You may be asked to tryout to qualify for a team. Players who have played in the DRCTL league in previous years are not guaranteed a spot and may be asked to attend tryouts as well. All players are expected to commit to regular matches as well as practice sessions.
Player selection will focus on identifying players who demonstrate strong skills, teamwork, and commitment to representing the club. Players will be selected to fill specific spots and they meet the team’s requirements ensuring the team is competitive.
