This is a League organized by Oak Bay Recreation Centre. This is a self-organized league, where players need to schedule their own matches at a time that works best for the players. They may schedule their matches anytime, and anywhere (e.g. public park, rec centre, private club etc.).

Each match is a sanctioned match. It does not contribute to the Tennis BC points race or Tennis Canada rankings, but will count towards building their World Tennis Number (WTN).
