Competitive Teams and Leagues
- These offer the more competitive player opportunities for weekly competition against players of similar ability
- Most participants are intermediate to advanced players
- Entry to these teams and leagues is competitive, either by tryout or captain's choice, in early May
- Regular participation in these leagues requires a commitment to play most weeks; however players who cannot make that commitment can also play as occasional spares
Players wishing to spare in Competitive Leagues:
If you are interested in sparing in any of these leagues it is best to directly contact the team captains or coordinators. Contact information can be obtained from the front desk.
If you have any questions about these leagues you may also contact Maria Dilay, Playing Chair.

Ladies' Daytime Interclub League (Thursday morning 9-12am)
Daytime Chair: Glenda Blacker
The Club has traditionally entered a team in the Ladies’ Daytime Interclub League. Teams consist of 4 players each week, chosen from a rotating roster of regular players and spares. Matches are played at OTLBC and other clubs in the Ottawa area.
Thursday Evening Women's Doubles League (8:00-10:00pm)
Coordinator: TBD
This is an opportunity for intermediate to advanced women to play weekly doubles with other Club members of similar ability. Players must be rated 3.0 and above.
A core group of 16 regular players is selected at tryouts in early May. Players not selected for the regular group, or who cannot commit to playing weekly, can play as spares throughout the season.
NCTA Interclub Singles Leagues (Sat./Sun. afternoons)
Entry is by individual application to the NCTA
These are men’s singles and ladies’ singles box leagues similar to our House Ladders, but operating on an Interclub basis with matches scheduled by the NCTA. Participants must be NCTA members ($25 annual fee). Please look on the NCTA web site www.ottawatennis.com for more information.
Only a few of our more advanced players participate in these leagues (most members prefer to play in our own house ladders). Because players in these leagues must arrange for the Club to waive guest fees for visiting opponents, members contemplating entering the singles leagues are advised to consult the Playing Chair (Maria Dilay) before submitting entries.
