Our competitions are run over two seasons each year (Season 1 commencing late January/early February and Season 2 in July).
Competitions are held on Tuesdays and Thursdays during Queensland state school terms, providing the option of playing both days or one day per week. There is no play during regular state school holidays or on public holidays. Our Tuesday competition currently has three grades and our Thursday competition has two grades.
Each team must have at least four players and a maximum of six players in total. The Association is a little unusual in that it does not have its own facility. Instead, teams hire their own courts and play home and away matc
