ISTA LADDER

The free tennis ladder for clubs

Every club has a ladder. Now it runs itself.

Players challenge, play and put the score in from a link on their phone. The ladder does the rest. Free for the club.

Up to 3rd. Nobody touched a spreadsheet.

However
your club plays.

Keep your own rules. Start with one ladder and add more when you're ready.

Singles ladder

Challenge up, win and take their place. Best of three sets or a set to a number of games.

Doubles ladder

Pairs climb together, and each partner gets their own link.

Padel and pickleball

Timed padel box nights, and pickleball games to 11, 15 or 21.

ISTA Ladder badge

Built by a coach who runs ladders at his own clubs.

I'm a tennis coach, and I built it to run the ladders at my own clubs. It works so well that other clubs can use it too. It's free for the club, every ladder, all the time - no cost, no catch.

What the committee will ask.

Is it really free?

Yes. Free for the club, every ladder, all the time - no cost, no catch. I built it to run the ladders at my own clubs, and it works so well that other clubs can use it too.

Do players need an app or an account?

No. Each player gets their own link, saves it to their home screen, and it works like an app.

We already run a ladder. Can you move it?

Yes. Send us the ladder you run now and we'll build it exactly as it is.

What about GDPR?

Names show on the ladder; mobiles never do. There's a GDPR page for clubs and a privacy notice.

Your club.
Top of the board.

Set it up in a couple of minutes, or send us the ladder you run now and we'll build it for you.
