If tennis is your game, then the University Club is the place for you!
Regardless of age or ability, our tennis program will fit your needs. With children’s tennis camps, private lessons from one of our talented Tennis Pros, adult and junior clinics, tournaments and successful competitive USTA league teams, our program is advanced enough for even the most dedicated players. A Pro Shop stocked with all the UClub gear you need, sports drinks and snacks to keep you at your best, and in-house racket stringing is the headquarters of our tennis program.
Our convenient online court reservation system makes it easy for you to plan your time on one of our eight courts in advance or stop by when the urge strikes. Open year-round, our courts always provide an opportunity for fun, fitness and friendly competition for our members!
