Tennis information

Tennis is played year round by Oakhill students in both the local Hills District competition and the winter ISA tennis competition with all home games played on the College tennis courts.

The Hills tennis competition is a graded competition, played throughout the Hills District on a Saturday morning. Players are put in teams based on their ability rather than their age. Teams comprise of three players. The competition commences in October and concludes with finals in March.

The ISA competition is a school based weekend competition played in terms 2 and 3. As members of the Independent Sporting Association, all students have the opportunity to compete in the ISA competition representing Oakhill. Teams are graded on age then ability. However, it is not unusual for younger boys to make the 1sts - some as young as 12 have played in the Oakhill 1sts in the past - with great success.

The ISA competition involved teams of four players, with each boy playing three sets on a Saturday morning. the competition concludes with finals in the second week of August.
