SD Doubles is a tennis league in San Diego, California.
**What is a Tennis Ladder?**
A tennis ladder is a system for ranking a group of players such as a tennis league. It... is also a great way to meet new players and have a lot of fun. In a tennis ladder, players are arranged like rungs of a ladder. Players challenge one another to a match. As a player wins or loses, the player moves up or down in position on the ladder. The goal of the tennis ladder is to be at the top!
*PLEASE SIGNUP ASAP for HIGHER priority ranking!
(*The Ladder starts May 30th! Priority ranking ends Mon. May 25th at 12pm!
Note: this is just a starting point. Later signups will go to the bottom of the ladder, but will be able to work themself up.)
