Senior Interclub

Opawa Tennis Club enters teams across Men's, Women's, and Mixed grades in both Summer and Winter Interclub competitions, catering to a range of playing abilities.

Summer Interclub runs through the warmer months, with Men's, Women's, and Mixed teams entered depending on player numbers and interest. We also enter teams in Winter Interclub, played indoors over the winter months.
