club player
Local league participant
A club player is someone who plays a sport or game at an amateur level, typically as a member of a local organization rather than professionally or at elite competitive tiers.
The term appears most often in chess, golf, and tennis: He's a decent club player but nowhere near tournament level.
It implies regular participation and reasonable competence without suggesting exceptional skill.
