The Flat Fee includes:
-
Up to 5 matches and one practice session per team, including at least one match at the USTA National Campus. Teams are welcome to substitute any of their included matches for a practice (1.5 hours x 3 courts).
-
Access to Trainer whilst playing/practicing at USTA
-
Score cards and seating at all facilities and water and ice at most facilities. Please ensure you notify us if you require singles sticks at time of scheduling and we will do our best to accommodate this.
-
SBT staff at all facilities to ensure smooth match starts and transitions
Additional matches after the 5 included matches, will be $165 per team/per match
No matches or practices are confirmed until payment has been received from both teams for both match fees and accommodations.
All match slots are 3.5 hours, which includes a 25 minute warm up.
No match locations are guaranteed. Every team on the flat fee is guaranteed at least one match at the USTA National Campus.
Teams are welcome to schedule a double header, however no 2nd matches are guaranteed until every first match has been allocated. Some 2nd matches may be scheduled on Har-Tru courts. The busiest court days are Monday – Wednesday; therefore teams are far more likely to get a double header on hard courts later in the week or at the weekend.

For teams passing through Orlando or Tampa during the tournament, we offer the opportunity to participate in Spring Break Tennis.
-
1 match only - $300 per team/per match (no lodging required)
If practice time is also required, teams may book 1 practice session (max 3 courts for 1.5 hours) at $25 per court hour.
-
2 matches - $250 per team/per match – 2 nights (minimum) lodging MUST be booked through SBS.

PLEASE NOTE THAT ALL MATCH FEES MUST BE RECEIVED BY 12/10/2024, otherwise matches may be cancelled.
FLORIDA TEAMS
Special pricing is available for Florida Schools to participate with Spring Break Tennis:

$165 per team/per match when booking our accommodations for over night stays (unless the team is driving up for the day)
-
$250 per team/per match if staying over night and not taking SBT accommodations
-
Practice for Florida teams is $20 per court hour.
Match location cannot be guaranteed.
We would ask, where practical, that Florida teams host matches at their own facility from 3/3 – 3/14/2025 – as these are the two busiest weeks.
MATCH GUIDELINES
ALL DIVISIONS
All match times allow for a 25 minute warm up period with your team. Please do not arrive 1 hour early and expect warm up courts to be available. If courts are available, we will do our best to get you on earlier. No warm up is permitted with your opponent unless the player did not play in the doubles – in which case a 5 minute warm up is allowed for that individual. 5 minutes is built into the schedule to allow players to get to the correct courts. Therefore, the first point of the match should start 30 minutes after your allocated court time.
No-AD scoring for singles and doubles for ALL DIVISIONS
There are NO service lets for ALL DIVISIONS
If a team has won the overall match and both coaches have previously agreed not to play the clinch format, all remaining singles matches that have not started a third set will become super tiebreakers.
If a team wants to play the clinch format, please confirm this with the opposing coach BEFORE THE MATCH STARTS.
DIVISION I, II, NAIA and JUCO
Singles – Two out of Three Sets
Doubles – One Six game set – 7 point tie break at 6 all
DIVISION III
Singles – Two out of Three Sets
Doubles – One Eight game pro-set – 7 point tie break at 7 all
SBS reserves the right to update this format.
If you are playing a DI, DII, NAIA or JUCO School, the D1/D2/NAIA/JUCO format and rules below will be used.
Your individual match schedule will advise you whether your match starts with singles or doubles. To enable all the matches to be fitted in, you MUST adhere to this requirement. Please notify SBS if you require to play doubles first for a particular match.
For All Matches – Current ITA DI/DII/DIII/NAIA/JUCO rules will apply.
RAIN POLICY/UNFINISHED MATCHES
In the event of rain or inclement weather, SBS will do its best to re-schedule matches or practice, based on court availability including Har-Tru courts.
Unfinished matches - where a result has not been determined - that exceed the allotted time may be re-scheduled based on court availability.
SBS accepts no responsibility if matches are unable to be re-scheduled.
ITA CODE OF CONDUCT
The ITA Code of Conduct will be strictly enforced. All SBS staff and all facilities staff reserve the right to enforce the ITA Code of Conduct.
