Women's Midweek League

The Women’s Midweek League competition gives women the opportunity to play tennis during the day – participate weekly or whenever it suits you.

Unwind and socialise afterwards with a post-match lunch or just coffee at the Southern Cross Club, Jamison each week. This friendly competition is run by the Midweek Ladies Committee in the Canberra region.

There are four competitions held during the year – summer, autumn, winter and spring – with no play over the school holidays.
