Anyone who enjoys playing tennis. We offer a recreational option for everyone and a competitive team for more advanced players. The competitive travel team will be determined through tryouts early in the season. |

For those just starting, we do not give beginner lessons (we are usually restricted on space and time), but you are welcome to come and hit with other beginners. We can also help you find places to begin your tennis career. |

Come talk to us at ClubFest on September 8th! We will also have a general informational meeting that will be announced at a later date. |
Description of Regular Meetings/Activities
| We hold practices Monday-Thursday and Sunday 5:30-7pm at the Forker Tennis Courts across from Lied, as weather permits. Each practice is optional to attend and will be structured with group games, matches, or drills. |
Description of Special Events
| We have a competitive traveling team that plays at home and away at several different universities throughout the country! These meets/tournaments are usually in the World Team Tennis (WTT) format. This consists of 5 matches between head to head teams: 2 doubles (men's and women's), 2 singles, and then 1 mixed doubles. Each match is a 6 game set with no ad and a 9-point tiebreaker at 5-5. Further rules will be explained! The players on the competitive team are chosen through tryouts which occur early in the Fall. |
