Tennis at Brockport High School is an elective activity that is offered twice throughout the school year as well as during intramurals (2B Advisement and A/C days after school). Tennis takes place at the Brockport Central Schools Tennis complex and addresses the aspects of the sports that students will need to participate outside of the school environment. We are proud at Brockport to offer our students and community 8 beautiful tennis courts, 4 of which are lit for evening use. Brockport students who participate in tennis are introduced to all components of the game of tennis. These components include skills such as serving, ground strokes, volleys and backhands as well as doubles/singles play, rules, offensive/defensive strategies and scoring. Students who participate in tennis receive 5, 85 minute classes of tennis. Classes that can not be offered due to inclement weather take place indoors.
