women's league

Ladies' sports organization

A women's league is a sports organization or competition exclusively for female athletes: She plays in a women's league on Tuesday nights.

The term also applies to civic or social organizations for women, particularly those focused on community service or advocacy.

In casual use, out of someone's league suggests romantic incompatibility—the women's league version implies a woman is too attractive or accomplished for a potential suitor.
