WOMEN’S ONLY division
Our FREE Women’s Social Competition, kicked off Monday, 28th April! If you are not currently playing but would like to join, please email us to get more details or come along at 6pm on a Monday night at the Minerdome to check out what’s involved.
This new division gives our female members the chance to compete in a supportive environment, playing on an official women’s height net and against fellow women. It’s designed to complement, not replace, our existing mixed divisions—so players are welcome to continue participating in their current teams in both A and B Grade if they wish.
🕕 Match Time: All Women’s matches will begin promptly at 6:00 PM, so please arrive early to allow time to warm up.
🏐 Team Formation: To start, teams will be created each night based on the number and skill level of players attending. Once we have a regular group, we’ll move toward set teams.
💸 Free for the Inaugural Season: We’re waiving competition fees for the first season to encourage participation!
📝 Registration: All players must complete or renew their membership registration before taking the court.
We look forward to seeing you on the court and growing this exciting new division together!
