Junior Saturday Match Play — Winter 2027

This program is designed to give junior players from throughout the region actual match play experience. The program meets immediately after MTU's Saturday middle school and high school tennis classes, giving players from outside the Houghton area an opportunity to participate in both programs on the same trip.

Players should be able to rally and know how to keep score. The program is not recommended for beginners. It is best suited for high school players, although experienced 7th and 8th graders may participate with the coordinator's approval.

Most matches will be doubles to accommodate the number of participants. Players will compete in timed rounds, with results tracked each week based on the percentage of games won. Partners and opponents will rotate throughout the program.

Depending on enrollment, one court may be used for game-based drills, but every participant will get match play at each meeting.

A program T-shirt is included in the registration fee. Awards for top finishers and light refreshments will be provided at the final mee
