South Island Tennis League registration for 2016 begins February 14 for women’s and men’s teams.
You can find more information about SITL and the 2016 Entry Form at sitennisleague.org.
Hi, everyone,
Please see the email below from the South Island Tennis League.
If you like playing social-competitive doubles matches and would like to get to know a good variety of players in our region, I would encourage you to respond and take part. Each team usually has ~6-8 players with 4 players playing against another team each week. Matches are on Tuesdays (early evenings).
Saanich Tennis Club can be used as a home court site……two teams can be accommodated to do so and we’ll ensure there’s rotation from year to year.
For more information, please contact Sylvia Pang.
Thanks!

To Club Presidents:
Hello! My name is Sylvia Pang and I am the Secretary for SITL.
In 2015, we had only 15 men’s teams across two men’s divisions – a large 4.0 and a small 4.5 division. Our goal for 2016 is to create three competitive divisions by (1) increasing the number of teams in the 4.5 division, and (2) by creating a new 3.5 division with at least four teams. I am working on the second goal – to organize enough teams at the 3.5 level to form a new division. We believe this to be an important initiative to continue the growth of tennis and to ensure the viability of the men’s spring doubles league.
Would your club be interested in promoting a M3.5 division? This could be accomplished in several ways:
- Forward this email to members of your club who may be interested and your members would contact me directly. I would organize players into teams. OR
- Send me a list of club players who are interested in playing at the 3.5 level and I will contact the players directly and organize them into teams. OR
- Select a club representative (or team captain) who would organize a team of M3.5 players from your club. I can assist the club representative in registering your team. Registration begins on February 14th and ends on March 25th.
Each year we have many inquiries from individual 3.5 players, but not enough to form a division of 4 teams. Your club’s assistance would greatly benefit the growth of men’s competitive tennis.
Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. I look forward to your responses.
If you have any questions, please contact me at sitlinfo@yahoo.ca.
