Summer Break

We hope everyone has a great summer and continues to practice hard

for the competitive fall season. We're looking for new team members in the fall so be sure to watch out for

announcements about tryouts that will be taking place at the beginning of the semester.

Villanova Club Tennis News

The Tennis on Campus program is unique in so many ways. It bridges the gap between competitive tennis and a friendly social atmosphere. This program allows students to continue to compete at a very high level and stay active, while not having a full-time commitment. Though club sports in general are usually what you make of them, tennis is such a social sport that all the members want to participate.

The Villanova Tennis Club, currently ranked 7th in the country, participated in the National Championships for Tennis in Cary, North Carolina April 17th  - 19th. The team traveled with twelve members, bringing one team. The team placed 5th in the Silver Bracket
 
Two years ago, Villanova placed 4th in the gold bracket. At that time, VCT had been in existence for three years, so our team continues to have high standards. The main challenge that exists when participating in Team Tennis is matchups. The captains always have to be aware of how the individual is playing at the time; therefore, not only having the team with the best players always win, but the team with the smartest matchups. Our team has a very close and special bond. Though we are a young team and the majority are sophomores, there is great leadership up and down the chain of command.
