MC Tennis runs clinics for middle school and high school students every summer. These clinics go beyond fundamentals and are focused on preparing players for competitive match play. Each session provides a combination of drills for skill development, tennis fitness conditioning, and match play / live ball experience. Beginners are welcome, as players get divided based on skill level. These clinics are open to all players ages 10-18 regardless of the high school they plan to attend.
All of our clinics are offered through a drop-in format. Cost is $35 per 2 hour session. You only pay for the sessions you want to attend!
Throughout the summer, we offer paid drop-in clinics four mornings per week (M-Th) from 9:00am - 11:00am ($35 per session). Only pay for the sessions you want to attend!
All registered players are also invited to attend our weekly Match Play Opportunities. These sessions are offered Tuesday nights and Friday mornings (Match Play Sessions are FREE - but registration is required - see below for additional details).
** No clinics are held during IHSAA No Contact Week (June 28 - July 5, 2026) -or- during BHSS No Contact Week (July 26 - 31) **
Our Match Play opportunities are open to all current / up-and-coming South tennis players, as well as all players who are regularly attending the MC Tennis Summer Clinics. There is no cost to participate but registration is required through USTA (link below). While no formal instruction will occur during this time, coaches will be walking around to provide feedback and organize matches.
Summer 2026 Match Play Opportunities:
Tuesday Nights, 8:00pm - 9:30pm
Friday Mornings, 9:00am - 11:00am
NOTE: The expectation is that all players attending Match Play opportunities have a basic ability to rally (keep the ball in play) and know the basics of how to keep score and the rules for play. Players who are not ready for competitive match play are encourage to come and watch/learn.
** No Match Play opportunities are held during IHSAA No Contact Week (June 28 - July 5, 2026) -or- during BHSS No Contact Week (July 26 - 31) **
To register for our drop in clinics or match play opportunities, you will first need to create a free USTA account.
Accounts for youth under age 13 will need to be linked to and managed by an adult account.
Accounts for youth over age 13 can be linked to a parent account or managed individually.
To register, select the dates you plan to attend and process registration for them all together. Registration doesn't close until until the night before each session, so you are welcome to come back and register for additional sessions (as long as they haven't filled to capacity).
All of our clinics and match play opportunities are held at Bloomington High School South.
Please Note: If Bloomington South's courts becoming unavailable due to future expected renovations, all programming will be moved to another location in Bloomington.
Our middle school and high school clinics are focused on preparing players for competitive match play, including: stroke development, footwork, mental strategy, and sportsmanship. While many of the players in these clinics are at an intermediate / advanced level, beginning players of the appropriate age (10-18) are welcome to attend.
Every player should bring a tennis racquet, jump rope, tennis shoes, and a water bottle.
Because we offer our clinics in a drop-in format, there is no way to determine how many players will be at each session. Historically, we have run clinics with anywhere from 10-25 players and adjust our plan for the session accordingly.
We always do our best to maintain a player-to-coach ratio of less than 8-1.
