Will we practice INDOORS at MVP or OUTDOORS at the HS North for the first couple weeks?: This is the question I get most each year in the Spring.

The only true answer I can give you is this: Be prepared for either, check your email and wotennis.com daily for the first couple weeks to know where we will be:) Here are the guidelines I use to make the decision each day:
- If it's likely to be wet/snowy, we will be at MVP.
- If about 42 degrees OR MORE and decent conditions, I'll likely decide to go outside. If less, inside.
- If it's super windy and/or cloudy, I might decide we have to bump the temp up a couple more degrees before going outside. If it's a calm sunny day, then I might say we will go outside at 41 degrees. (I'm just saying this to show that it's not always a clear cut decision, I have to use my judgement, so be watching for emails/website posts daily.)
