Tennis Teams
Unlike any other Club Tennis Team in Kentucky, we offer a variety of programs for our student’s enjoyment. Most tennis clubs only offer one tennis league while we offer several. Our programs are separated by proficiency so that regardless of your skill, you will be playing other students of your same ability. We have found that by offering more programs suited for a broader base of people, we can reach more students and have a greater impact on the tennis community.
Another important change to the club is the fact that you do not ave to be a student at the University of Louisville to belong to the Beginner Team, the Intermediate Team, or the Advanced Team. Students from any college or university in Louisville may join the program. However, you MUST be a member of the University of Louisville to belong to the Competition Team.
Below is a list of the leagues we currently offer:
Beginner Team
Intermediate Team
Advanced Team
Competition Team
Beginner Team
The Beginner Team is primarily comprised of individuals who have never played tennis or for those with limited tennis experience. This team is encouraged to meet as a team on a bi-monthly basis for general coaching by a USPTA or PTR certified tennis instructor. However, students should play as much as possible in order to improve. Remember, practice makes perfect!
Traveling Team
The Traveling Team is made up of only the clubs most advanced players. This team is encouraged to meet once per week including the practices with the Advanced Team. This team will travel to other schools in the state, region, and country to compete in competitive matches. Students belonging to this team should play as much as possible to ensure victory over the other schools.
Intermediate Team
The Intermediate Team encompasses those students with tennis experience but those that lack the skill to properly place the ball or who might still have problems with shot production. This team is encouraged to meet on a bi-monthly basis for general coaching by a USPTA or PTR certified tennis instructor. However, students should play as much as possible in order to make progressive improvements. Members of this team must play at least one competitive match with another team mate each month.
Advanced Team
The Advanced Team consists of individuals who are proficient in the game of tennis. This team practices with the traveling team. This team is encouraged to meet at least three times per month for practices with two of the practices coached by a USPTA or PTR certified tennis instructor. However, students should play as much as possible in order to hone their skills and to stay competitive. Members of this team must play at least on competitive match with another team mate each month. Remember, perfect practice makes perfect!
