​​​​​​Fall and Spring Tennis Season and Practice
High school tennis consists of two tennis seasons.  We play Fall Team Tennis from August-November.  In the fall we only play a JV and Varsity Schedule.  We have a JV White team composed of Freshman, and a JV Green Team composed of Sophomores and Juniors.  High level Freshman players will play on Varsity.
 

In the Spring, we play Individual Tennis Tournaments from the middle of January-May.  Freshman may play Freshman, JV, or Varsity Tournaments depending on their skill level.
 

Freshman will practice from 7:00 AM - 8:05 AM during the season.  In the off season, we will practice from 7:20 AM-8:05 AM.  Parents will need to drop their child off at The Woodlands Senior Campus each morning.  The shuttle will take them to the Freshman Campus after practice.
