SSTA Tennis Winter Leagues 2026

The links to all winter leagues for 2026 are available here.  The leagues run from the week of January 5 to the week ending on March 27, 2026.

These links are the best source for the names and numbers of spares and  the current schedule, as mistakes are sometimes made and then updated here.

League schedules will also be posted at the Tennis Centre in both shoe change rooms.

Notes:

• The Fee for sparing is $11.25 for 1-1/2 hours of league play and $15 for 2 hours of league play. This fee is paid directly to the player whose match you are sparing for.
• A few leagues have odd numbers of players and byes have been randomly assigned.  If you can’t make your match day, it is recommended that you first ask a member with a bye followed by members on the spare list. 
• The 4 plus Men’s League and the 3 plus Mixed Business League are two hour leagues with a unique playing structure to encourage player development and competition. The structure is well known in the 4 plus league and will be introduced to the participants of the 3 plus league.
• The Men’s 3.5 League has two sections, watch for dates where there is interchange play between the two sections.
• At the bottom of the schedule is a discussion on the rating system used by SSTA.

Rating structure 

SSTA follows Tennis Canada’s self-rating system Self Rating System. 

Open Leagues are open to all levels, if you are level 3.0 or above, you should respect that these are developmental leagues.

Leagues with a designation at levels 3.0 and 3.5 are designed for competitive play for players of a similar level.  Higher levels can participate in these leagues to be with their friends, but they must respect the level of their opponents.

In Leagues identified as 3.0 plus or 4.0 plus, players can expect stronger players to sign up.  These leagues will be structured to allow for an enjoyable competitive experience for all participants.

Unsure of your eligibility for a rated league?, consult with us by emailing to: SSTA.Tennis@saltspringtennis.ca and we will help assess your situation. If we are unsure, we will encourage you to sign up as a spare for the higher level.

If you are new to SSTA leagues and would like to talk to us about specific offerings, drop us an email at: leagues@saltspringtennis.ca and we will give you a personal briefing.

NB Reminder: when you are having a spare fill in for you, please notify opposition and partner with the name of the spare!
