  • Division 1 – Girls Only is the competition pathway for girls wanting to play in a girls-only competition. Teams can qualify for the State Final held during Brisbane Tennis.
  • Division 2 Participation is about encouraging participation, providing a fun, social playing experience, and giving students the opportunity to represent their school in a team environment.

Each School Sport Region will host a Red Ball event for schools to participate in. The winning teams from each event will qualify for the State Final.
