    Interclub

    Waimairi tennis club offers its senior members a range of opportunities to represent the club and participate in Canterbury Tennis senior interclub competitions each season. Competition is played on the weekend, typically from late September to late March.

    The following provides a broad outline of interclub competitive play offered at Waimairi:

    Men’s Interclub Competition – Teams are made up of 4 players and each player plays a singles and doubles match. Play is on a Sunday and rotates around tennis clubs. Waimairi has teams in many divisions of the Men’s Competition, so their is plenty of opportunity for players to get their competitive fix at the appropriate level.

    Women’s Interclub Competition – Teams are made up of 4 players and each player plays a singles and doubles match. Play is on a Sunday morning and rotates around tennis clubs. Waimairi enters teams in at least 2 of the 3 Women’s divisions where again every effort is made to ensure players are competing at the appropriate level.

    Mixed Interclub Competition – Teams are made up of 2 men and 2 women and each player plays three mixed matches on the trot. Play is on a Saturday Afternoon at Wilding Park and club venues. Waimairi has to date participated in the Division 2 competition but can enter teams at any level depending on player ability.

    Men’s and Women’s Premier Competition – For our top level players the Premier competition has the same format as other Men’s and Women’s Divisions and is played on a Saturday afternoon.

    Interclub teams are coordinated by our Club Captains. If you are a new member interested in competitive play, or newly interested in adding the competitive dimension to your game, please talk to a club captain to find out more or register your interest.
