South High School Tennis Guide to Off-Season Hitting and Conditioning

We hope that you find time over the winter through the beginning of next school year to develop and work on your tennis games. If you want to improve your tennis game, the following pieces are important:

South open-hitting and conditioning sessions
Play in USTA tournaments
Sign up for clinics, group lessons and/or individual lessons
Strengthen your fitness level

South Open-Hitting Sessions

Stay in contact with Coach for optional open-hitting sessions weather permitting at South courts or indoor at the Denver Tennis Park. Spots are limited to varsity and approved JV players.

USTA Tournaments

Tournaments are a great way to improve your match play and mental toughness. While clinics and lessons are great, they will not provide match experience. In order to play in USTA tournaments, you must join (membership starts at $20). Then, you can register to play singles or doubles in tournaments all year and work on your ranking.
