     Love Stinks Tennis League

   Welcome
About Our League:
The Love Stinks Tennis League is a recreational singles league for tennis players of various skill levels in the York County Area (SouthCentral PA). The league season runs from April through September and consists of a regular season and an end-of-season tournament. One of the appeals of this low-cost league is that players set their own match times and locations to suit their own schedules. For more details about the league, including how to join, please view the pages under the "League Info" section.

2009 League Play Begins
The Web Page is now updated and ready to report your scores. Remember, the deadline to have all 13 of your matches played is August 3rd. If you do not have at least 11 of these matches played, you will not qualify for the tournament. See the What's New section below.
  • Match Play Reminders:
    • Both players are to bring a new can of balls to the match. - Winner keeps the new balls.
    • Decide before you begin play whether you will play a full 3rd set or a superset in the event that sets are split.  If this is not discussed before, then it is assumed that a full 3rd set will be played unless unexpected conditions warrant otherwise and both players agree.
Lovestinks Logo Needed!
Lovestinks tennis league is looking for a logo to include on our web page and on our T-shirt design.  If anyone has any artistic skills, please consider using your talents to help out the league.  Please submit any ideas to Dave Schrom or David Arrow.

 What's New

  • Everyone gets a T-Shirt!
    • The League Fee has remained $50 this year.  We will not be having a mid-season social, but do plan on designing a League T-Shirt to give to all players.  Please submit any ideas for T-shirt design to David Arrow.
  • Short Season, LongTournament - Same schedule as last year.
    • Last year, each division was reduced from 16 players down to 14 players.  This means that each player will play 13 regular season matches instead of 15. 
    • The end-of the-year tournament will once again be a round-robin tournament instead of a single elinination tournament.  This means that every player is guaranteed a large number of post-season matches instead of being done once you lose.  Therefore, even though the regular season matches have been cut down, more players will play more matches overall compared to previous years.
  • Match Completion Policy
    • The purpose of the LoveStinks Tennis League is to provide tennis players of all levels opportunities to play many competitive matches in a recreational setting.  Players join the League because they want to play tennis, and it is very frustrating when 'deadbeat' players make it difficult to schedule matches.  A policy has been implemented that any player not completing at least 70% of their matches in a season will be allowed to return the following season on probationary conditions.  If a player fails to complete 70% of their matches for two consecutive seasons, that player will not be permitted to join the league for any following seasons..

  Court Availability

  • Penn State's courts are being used on Monday & Wednesday evenings. So be advised to not schedule your matches there on those days. Suburban's courts are a good alternative. They are only about a mile away from Penn State. But they do not have lights.
  • Please report other notes concerning court availability to David Arrow
