San Diego AFT-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 at the end!

Later signups will go to the bottom of the ladder, but can work up quickly.
