The ACT 70 Ladies Shine at Adelaide: A Senior Tennis Experience

What an incredible experience! Tennis Seniors hosted their annual teams event in Adelaide last week, drawing over 700 men and women players aged 35 to 80 from all states. Pam had the privilege of being invited to join the ACT Ladies 70s team captained by Betty Smith.

After a grueling seven rounds of team match play, the team achieved an impressive 4th place overall. The majority of matches were played on grass courts, adding a classic touch to the competition.

Playing senior tennis offers countless benefits beyond the thrill of competition. It provides a fantastic way to stay active and maintain physical health through regular exercise, which improves agility, endurance, and overall fitness.

Equally important are the social connections it fosters—meeting new people, strengthening friendships, and enjoying the camaraderie that tennis brings. It’s a sport that enriches both body and soul, proving that age is no barrier to the love of the game.
