High School Tennis in Indiana
Governed by the IHSAA — a distinctive single-class state tournament, with boys in the fall and girls in the spring.
Indiana high school tennis is governed by the Indiana High School Athletic Association (IHSAA), which runs a distinctive single-class state tournament — every school competes in one bracket with no divisions (292 boys’ teams were drawn in 2024). Indiana also reverses the usual calendar: boys’ tennis is a fall sport and girls’ tennis is a spring sport, each crowning a team champion plus individual singles and doubles champions. Both genders advance through a four-stage sectional → regional → semi-state → state tournament, with finals at Indianapolis-area sites — the boys’ singles and doubles at Park Tudor School, and the girls’ team finals at the Barbara S. Wynne Tennis Center at North Central High School.
