You Bring the Courts, We bring the fun
Gladiator Park District and Club Partner Program
Gladiator Tennis typically partners with park districts and clubs to bring our leagues to your facilities in two different ways.
- For facilities looking to offer tennis leagues but lacking critical mass to create their own, Gladiator provides access to our existing regional leagues. Simply list Gladiator's local leagues in your programming and we'll integrate those players into our established leagues in your area. Our network of over 3,000 active singles, doubles, adult and junior players across every skill level ensures a thriving league experience for your members.
- For facilities with established, well-attended tennis leagues, Gladiator offers full league administration, leveraging our technology and experienced staff.
In either case, the park district or club manages registrations, while Gladiator handles all other league operations.
What Gladiator Offers
- Advanced algorithmic opponent matching to ensure balanced competition within divisions (within a .25 NTRP rating).
- A user-friendly website/app for players to log scores, view standings, and access playoff leaderboards.
- Automated promotion and relegation between leagues based on player performance.
- Integration with UTR and (coming soon), WTN rating systems, offers players additional ways to track their progress.
- Medallions for division winners, city-wide Colosseum Playoffs in the fall, and trophies for league playoff winners and runners-up.
How does it work?
Gladiator charges park districts and clubs a flat fee per player per season. Seasons are typically around 8 weeks and include 7 matches. Parks and clubs determine their own patron fees, typically ranging from $45 to $55 per season.
