Yes, for an affiliated local league you need Compete membership of Table Tennis England. Compete is the level for players who take part in local leagues; it also covers national events at 1* level and puts you on the national ranking and rating lists. When you enter an affiliated league or tournament you must give your TT ID (membership number). Free Club Play and Supporter memberships do not cover league play.
