Why I'm A Gladiator
Kim Y. | 3.5
“My husband Bob and I both did Gladiator tennis last year and loved it! We met a lot of nice people, played some wonderful tennis and look forward to playing again next season.”
Robert F. | 4.25
“It's easy to include in my life since I can set up matches around other commitments in my schedule. I've met some great people, and I'm still able to keep that competitive drive and still compete for awards.”
Zach M. | 5.0
"I have been involved in Gladiator Tennis for nearly 15 years. I have watched the league grow, expand, and become more competitive. It's amazing to see so many different levels of competition all under one roof. I can't wait to see what the next 15 years holds."
Brian Q. | 4.0
“Gladiator Tennis, is hands down, the best league around!! It has been great to watch this league grow over the years and it is amazing to see the public courts filled up with Gladiator matches on any given day or night.”
Kolleen M. | 4.0
"I picked up a racket for the first time at the age of 42, a friend suggested I try Gladiator so that I could play against similar-level players. It was a low-risk, high-reward situation for me. I credit Gladiator with turning this newbie into a tennis-obsessed player."

FAQ
Check out the league Rules & Guidelines , learn more on our FAQ page or Contact Us.
You play on your schedule — there's no fixed weekly time slot. Each week of the season, you and your opponent coordinate directly to find a time that works for both of you. Most matches happen on weekday evenings or weekend mornings, but any mutually agreed time works.
As for location, you'll pick a home court when you register — usually a public court near your home or work — and play half your matches there. The other half are played away, within about a 20-minute drive. On day one of the season, your full schedule with opponent contact info is waiting in your player profile. From there, you reach out, agree on a time, and play.
It's genuinely rare. Before every season launches, we time out distances and verify that every player has competitive opponents nearby. If something ever falls short, we'll reach out before the season starts and make it right — full refund or credit, your choice.
Gladiator uses a skill system based on NTRP and UTR ratings, ranging from 2.5 (beginner) to 5.0 (expert). Not sure where you fall? Check out our Skill Levels page for a full breakdown. If you're still unsure, just select "Not Sure" when creating your profile and your local league coordinator will reach out to help you through it. Sometimes we can even set up a free ratings match to get you placed correctly before the season starts.
Covering court costs depend on your region:
- Midwest Markets: Outdoor matches on public courts are free. Indoor matches during winter seasons have court fees, split 50/50 with your opponent.
- Florida Markets: Many outdoor public courts charge a booking fee. When that's the case, the home player covers the cost for both players. Indoor court fees are split 50/50.
The home player brings a new can of balls.
You have more flexibility than you might think. You can play matches ahead of schedule, out of order, or at any mutually agreed time — as long as all scores are reported by the season's final deadline. If you need to miss a match or two, you can also recruit a substitute player to fill in for you. The format is genuinely built for people with real lives.
We have helped thousands of tennis enthusiasts play their first league. You'll be matched with players at your verified skill level, close to where you live. Most Gladiators are working adults who love tennis, want real competition, and don't want the overhead of a club team. If you can rally and you want to improve, you'll fit right in.
We aim to keep singles matches within a 20-minute drive of your home court. You'll select a home court when you register — usually a public court near your home or work — and play half your matches there. The other half are played away, within that same 20-minute radius. You won't be driving across town to play tennis.
