For club directors and ladder organizers

Challenge ladders for tennis clubs

A challenge ladder is a running ranking of your club’s players: anyone can challenge a player a few spots above them, and the winner takes the higher spot. ClimbTheLadder runs it in one app — standings, challenges, match days and score reporting for players, with simple season controls for you, the ladder organizer. You share one join code, and players join in the app or at play.climbtheladder.io.

Players: how you get in

Every ladder belongs to a club or a group, and there’s no list of ladders near you to browse. Your ladder organizer sends you a join link or a join code, or adds you by email.

Have a join link or a join code? Tap the link, or tap Join a ladder in the app and type the code. Either way, you’ll be on your ladder in a minute.
Your club uses ClimbTheLadder but you don’t have a link or a code yet? Ask your ladder organizer to send you one, or to add you by email.
