The State Tennis Tournament is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, March 5, 2022. The location has not yet been determined but has historically been in Georgetown. The State Tennis Tournament Team roster will be determined based on tennis skill level, tennis IQ, and sportsmanship demonstrated throughout the season. The coaches will determine the State Tennis Team roster towards the end of the season. Up to 7 MS girls, 7 MS boys, 7 HS girls, and 7 HS boys could be selected for the State Tennis Tournament Team roster. Students must participate in the entire season of Winter Competitive Tennis to be eligible for the State Tennis Tournament Team roster. All other eligibility requirements apply. Besides the Winter Competitive Tennis participation fee, there is no additional participation fee for tennis players to participate in the State Tennis Tournament. Students participating in Winter Competitive Tennis are not guaranteed a spot on the State Tennis Tournament Team roster.

- Wednesdays - 2:30-4:00 PM
When weather or court conditions are not conducive to practicing outdoors, practices will be moved indoors to the Cimarron Hills fitness center rather than cancelling practices and causing a delay in the season by adding make-up practices. Masks are required when practicing indoors.
