St Ann’s Tennis will submit a full list of eligible team players to BHPLTA before matches start in April. We would like all players registered by Wednesday 08 April. We will hold a team session on Saturday 11 April from 1pm. This will be an opportunity to play competitive doubles, test pairings, and introduce new players as we prepare for our opening fixtures. This session will be free for all registered Team St Ann’s players. Registration does not guarantee selection.

See dedicated captains list above. We will designate a captain for each match for registering scores. Any registered Parks League player can approve results: it does not need to be the registered captain.
All players are asked to make full use of our excellent, bespoke captains platform, designed and maintained by our very own James Hartt. Important: please use this platform to clearly indicate your availability for each match. James will add all registered players to the platform.
Team subs for 2026 are £30, to cover costs of balls and BHPLTA registration. Please pay via the booking link above. We will offer full or partial refunds for players who are not able to play due to long term injury, change of circumstances, or not selected, as we have done in the past.
Start dates:
Tuesday 14 April – Division 3
Wednesday 15 April – Division 2

We will hold a team session on Saturday 11 April from 1pm. This will be an opportunity to play competitive doubles, test pairings, and introduce new players as we prepare for our opening fixtures. This session will be free for all registered Team St Ann’s players.
Reminder: you cannot play a competitive fixture for a private club (e.g. county league matches) and also play in the Parks League during the same season. This is a strict rule: the competition is not for private club players. You may play for a private club in winter, but you cannot compete for a private club at any time during the spring or summer and also play in the Parks League. These rules are carefully checked, and no warning will be given.
To quote Claire Anderson, no-one knows anything til April! That means that the captains will need a full and clear commitment from all team members before making specific team choices. St Ann’s will continue to look for player to strengthen our squad. D1 will have first choice, then D2 then D3. It will be our aim to fill every available fixture and not to concede matches unless there are exceptional circumstances.
Individual captains will have their specific goals and targets, but overall we want to you all play without pressure, to enjoy your tennis, and to play at active part in this amazing old tennis competition.
