Off-Season Opportunities

All of the activities below are optional. They are only a sample of what is available to players who are looking for organized opportunities for development and match play. However, many of the activities below provide opportunities for players to meet the off-season expectations, by getting activities knocked off from the player development program and to play matches.

IHSAA Limited Contact Sessions (at Bloomington South) - NO COST 

IHSAA regulates how often we can workout as a team during the off-season. During the school year, IHSAA has three limited-contact periods for teams to workout twice per week for two hours each session (max of 4 hours per week). Outside of these periods - coaches are not able to work with players on tennis development UNLESS it is funneled through a separate organization with services open to the public. 

Summer Match Play Opportunities (at Bloomington South)  - NO COST

Throughout the summer we have match play opportunities at Bloomington South most Tuesday Nights (8:00-9:30pm) and Friday mornings (9:00-11:00am). These opportunities are hosted by MC Tennis but are open to all current/up-and-coming South tennis players (ages 10+), as well as all players who are regularly attending MC Tennis Drop-In Clinics. 

There is no cost to participate, but REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED!! 

While no formal instruction occurs during this time, coaches will be walking around to provide general feedback and organize matches. All participating players must have an up-to-date physical on file to participate!
