Beat the hell outta t.u.

Allright guys here is the scoop.  We will all meet at 12:00 p.m. at the intramural courts for a quick debriefing.  t.u. will arrive between 12 and 12:30.  Match play will begin at 12:30 and doubles will go on first.  Singles will go on right after doubles.  There also will not be any drinks provided so come prepared with drinks.  We will be playing 2 out of 3 sets add scoring.

We would love to create a homefield advantage like we have in football so if any of yall have free time and would like to watch us take them down than that would be great.  However as you know we are one of the most respected clubs in the nation and we would like to keep our reputation.  There will be no throwing rackets and cursing.  Try your hardest guys and show them the great spirit and honor of Aggieland.  Any questions or comments call me at 432-634-1588.

Beat the Hell outta t.u.

UT Dual Match

The UT dual match played here at Texas A&M will be held this weekend at 1:00-6:00 on Saturday.

We have used results from the tournament and pool play to come up with these names.  To our dissappointment t.u. is only bringing 9 guys and girls which is less than predicted therefore we have come up with a list of nine guys and girls listed below.  If you feel that you should be on this list you have two days starting now to challenge.  You can challenge only once and it has to be played by Wednesday at 11:00.  We will reserve courts on Wednesday for this purpose but probably only four or five.  The names are:

Guys:  Andrew Borne, Soong Hay Tam, Matt Sumrall, Hersh Pise, Rushy Dave, Billy Uran, Jonathan Burkes, Patrick Dean, Jordan Wilson

Girls:  Christine Frankson, Selyna Nunez, Kiki Burns, Jill Wright, Ashley Gomez, Ashley Force, Fernanda, Megan Fitzgibbons, Nichole Williams

These are singles positions only, doubles will be announced at a later date.
Contacts have been sent out in previous emails.

VERY IMPORTANT!

If you cannot play this weekend and you are on the list let us know ASAP.

Howdy Fellow tennis Ags,

As mentioned earlier we have the priveledge of working as court monitors and in the concessions at the local supers tournament here in College Station.  Also mentioned it is mandatory for anyone wanting to play in nationals and this will help us decide future teams to take to tournaments.  We need girls and guys so everyone is welcome to help.  So anyone that is available to help this weekend please reply to this email and say whether you can help Saturday or Sunday or both.  Hopefully if enough people help then the hours will not be that long.  Besides court monitoring is quite fun.

Round 4, 5, & 6 - Pool Play/ Duties for Upcoming Supers Tournament

Hey Guys,

Again, I apologize for the delay for the next set of matches.  We had to make several accommodations to get more matches in as well as tweaking the system for the last half of the matches to better the placement of players on teams.  And lets be honest, it also makes my life tons better, which is quite nice! =]  The attachment has the pool play format that we used last year except this time we have results from the first few rounds.  Our intent for the pools are to give you people that are of similar levels with yourself.  I hope that the pools will indeed provide good/close matches that are fun to play.

The pools are basically a round robin format, so you will everyone in your pool.  Each pool has 4 players, hence, you have three remaining matches till the completion of Fall match play.  The Worksheet has all the due dates and who you play each week.  Please let me know if something is unclear.  Also, continue to report all matches to our Website tennisclub.tamu.edu, it's extremely helpful that you guys do that.

If your name does not appear in the pools, please let us know.

Also, I'd like to extend my thanks to Jonathan for helping me put these pools together, it saved me a TON of time!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VERY IMPORTANT - so keep reading
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the weekend, Nov. 9-11, there is a Super's tournament in town.  Like last year, we will be running a concessions stand and court monitoring.  For all you that want or think that you might be attending the National Tennis On Campus Championship in the Spring, we are making your service in either concessions or court monitoring mandatory.  This event is a fundraiser that helps provide funding for our tournaments, especially Nationals.  It is vital that we have attendees give back to the club with your service.  Your service will have some bearing on your selection for Nationals and placement on teams.  So please help out on this fundraiser and I'll love you forever!  As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to ask us.

AND SEE YOU GUYS AT BOWLING TOMORROW NIGHT @ 9:30!!!  WOOHOOO!!!

OH IT'S REALLY TIME

Howdy AGS,

 

Alright yinz the wait is over. It's time for some super cereal social events.  First, in just two days, assuming we get enough of yinz out on a thursday night, its time for BOWLING. So I'm stupid and I pressed tab and then enter and it sent an unfinished message. But moving on...this thursday night at grand station entertainment, formerly wolfpen bowling center, it's all you can bowl for 12 bucks from 9:30 to midnight.  Let me know tomorrow at club if your interested. I need to know how many people ahead of time to reserve some lanes. 

 

The next topic of business is the TU game. If any of yinz are staying in town for thanksgiving then you should give up your sports pass in a couple weeks and pull with us. This obviously isn't for another 3 weeks, but keep it in mind because this is the big one.

So that's it for my first email if it sucked just hit me with a ball or something at practice.

Thanks and gig 'em,

Matthew Kravits

Austin Regional Tournament

I hope that everyone is ready for an exciting weekend of tennis.  It is time to get your game faces on and A games ready.  Here is the important information regarding the tournament this weekend.

 

We are leaving at 6:15 a.m. Saturday morning, so be there at 6:05.  I know that Austin is only about an hour and a half away but ive had it take longer and shorter and I want to give everyone the chance to warm-up.  If we get there really early we will grab some breakfast.  The reason we need to warm up is because there is only a 3 minute warmup before playing, therefore it is imperative that we are warm before match play starts.

 

We will eat lunch probably at the tennis courts but just in case bring money for lunch and dinner and possibly breakfast.  Also bring 10 dollars and give it to whoever is driving before you set out towards Austin.  We will again provide water, gatorade and snacks.

 

Weather- high of 90, 10% chance of rain, wind 10-15 mph.

 

Captains- I need you to call all your players and tell me who can drive, who is going by themselves, and thats it.  Feel free to set up a practice tonight, there are other teams hitting around 8 so there will probably be balls out there.

 

We will play throughout the day, we will be done at hopefully 6:30.  We will then eat dinner and head back to college station.

 

For those of you that think that you are on the wrong team, do not worry these teams are for FUN.  There will be a ladder in place once we have finnished the competition matches.  Aslo matches are due tomorrow night and there will be no more extensions therefore if you fail to play your match you will suffer a default or loss.

 

Once again, Nov 17 tournament in Dallas is cancelled but replaced with an exciting innerclub tournament.

 

If you have any questions call 432-634-1588

We are still in need to drivers. Please respond to an email and let us know if you can drive.

Captains- Please give everybody on your team a call to make sure everything is good to go, set up lunch/dinner on fri?,and to recruit and report drivers.

Teams for this weekend

Howdy Fellow Ags,

 

We are going to be playing another regional tournament which will be located in Austin at the U.T. intramural tenniscenter.  For those of you who have never been there, it is a lot of tennis courts.  We will leave at approximately 6:00 a.m. Saturday Morning and return that night after taking home the W.  We need drivers, so if you can drive REPLY to this email.  We will again provide snacks and drinks. 

 

Now, as for the teams.  Our tennis club is unique in that there are no tryouts and that we take as many as we can.  In this case we could not take everyone that wanted to go.  These teams were selected based on challenge matches and attendance and those of you who were not selected are on a waiting list. 

 

Another matter, the intraclub tournament on November 3rd is hereby cancelled due to conflicting schedules with USTA.  However we are currently working on rescheduling and will have a new date soon.

 

Practice tomorrow,

Round 2 Match Deadline Extension

To:  Texas A&M Tennis Club -Competitive Members
From: Soong Hay Tam
Date: 10/16/07
Subject:  Round 2 Match Deadline Extension

Hey Guys,

I am extending the deadline for Round 2 matches till this Saturday.  As of right now, I believe we have an abnormally low turn-out on completed matches.  In fact, there have only been a few reported matches.  As a reminder, following the completion of your match, please go to our website, tennisclub.tamu.edu and report the winner, loser, score, and match number.  If your opponent defaults, please report "default" as the score.  I cannot stress the importance enough to complete these matches, as these help us place you on the appropriate team for tournaments.  Although this is the second time we have extended the matches, this will probably be the last so we can finish this on time.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to attend this weekend's tournament at t.u.  Nevertheless, I wish you guys the best of luck, and BTHO t.u.,  Hope to see you guys at practice on Wednesday as "good results come from great efforts on the practice court."

Thanks, Gig'em, and Have A Great Rest Of The Week,

Soong Hay Tam

All right so we have lots to talk about.  This weekend was amazing for the TAMU TENNIS CLUB TEAMS!!! and not so for the football team. Once again our  gilded record was shown and we got creamed in football, but thats  OK because the TAMU TENNIS CLUB TEAMS did amazing. So to recap  we had 3 teams place in the top 4!!! so that's pretty sweet.  Everyone put in a lot of effort and had a great time. A&M maroon dominated in style annihilating t.u and happened to have Brad's sister in the mix. Sorry Brad. I want to thank Brad and Soong and the other officers for  getting this tournament organized, ya'll did an amazing job, there is a lot of stuff that needs to get done that the officers have to do before we can go to each tournament so thanx alot .It  was great start for a great year. Lets see what else... hmm oh I regret eating the random Pizza with Kyle on the bleachers, because I got really sick last night. Hooters was awesome!!  Next thing is really important. If you are going to the  t.u  tournament let us know!!! You can go SIGN up on the website http://tennisclub.tamu.edu/ and do so. Next thing Soulja Boy was ....hmmm...yeah...umm...yeah.  Hope to see ya out there!!

 

SO RECAP:

Practice from 4--7

Domination in Houston

Our football team is crappy

So is Soulja Boy

SIGN UP FOR t.u tourney

 

Deuce it,

TEAMS!

Hey everyone!

 

The moment of truth is here!  Attached are the teams for the Houston tournament.  Remember they are not permanent!

 

TEAM CAPTAINS:  You are now responsible for your teams!  This means that it is your responsibility to see that all of your members make it to Houston and back.  You are also responsible for your team throughout the tournament, so make sure to take care of everyone!

 

TEAM MEMBERS:  Your captain is the person to talk to concerning travel, food, etc.  Make sure they know where you are at all times!

 

I recommend that team captains call their team members, and get to know them.  A team lunch or dinner would today would be an excellent way to get to know your teams!  I am looking forward to seeing all of you Saturday, and BTHO tu!

 

Deuce,

 

Brad Burgess

Ladies and Gentlemen!  It's time for the main event! LLLLLLLLLets get ready to rumble!!!!

1)      BE AT THE INTRAMURAL TENNIS COURTS AT 6:15 AM ON SATURDAY MORNING (10/13/07)! This doesn't mean "leave your apartment/dorm at 6:15 am" it means be rolling into the parking lot in front of the intramural tennis courts at 6:15 am. We don't want to leave anyone, but we have done it before, so BE ON TIME!

2)      IF YOU HAVE NOT FILLED OUT AN ASSUMPTION OF RISK FORM, FILL ONE OUT AND BRING IT SATURDAY MORNING! I have attached the form to this email, so please don't forget! We will have a few extras, but if you do not fill out one of these forms, you can't travel with us.

3)      DRIVERS:   Do not leave without a full car! We have something like 3 open spaces in cars, so fit as many people as you can (comfortably).  Also COME WITH A FULL TANK OF GAS!

4)      THOSE OF YOU NOT DRIVING:   You will be sorted into cars Saturday morning.

10)  FOR THOSE OF YOU UNFAMILIAR WITH WORLD TEAM TENNIS: Go to http://tennisclub.tamu.edu and click on the World Team Tennis Rules and Regulations Link. Team captains should familiarize themselves with these items as soon as possible.

Concerning the teams, I will email them out tomorrow morning. I encourage the captains to get in touch with their team members and meet on Friday night to hang out and work out a game plan for Saturday.   I recommend friending your teammates on Facebook, and then getting everyone's number.  On this trip, teams are expected to remain together at all times.   Each team's captain is responsible for his or her team members, as in making sure that the entire team is accounted for before traveling, eating together, etc.   MOST IMPORTANTLY, HAVE FUN!!!! These tournaments are meant to be an enjoyable experience for everyone!

If you have any questions or concerns, my number is 832-715-8316, Soong's is 281-387-7713, and Billy's is 830-387-6174.

Competitive Matches, round 2

Howdy-

Ok, so, here's round 2. Same rules apply. This round will end on Wednesday, Oct 17 at 8p.

Matches this week, overall, will match players' skills more closely than last week.

Strong suggestion: Except for weather delays and injuries, after you come off the court from playing some, or all of your match, it is best to have a winner decided. Please play your match all at one time. Feel free to shorten your match by mutual agreement before starting to play no-add, tie-breaker for third, proset, start at 2-2, or just flip a coin, if you have limited time to play. Partially completed matches will be considered finished on the due date.

Please report the correct match reference number beside your name submitting your score. As you can see, with our amount matches to record, finding lost matches will be increasingly difficult without your match number.

We hope everybody is having fun with these matches.

Good luck this weekend.

Wednesday Practice

Howdy all of you tennis enthusiasts!

 

As most of you know we have practice this Wednesday, October 10 at the intramural tennis courts.  Given that we have a tournament in Houston rapidly approaching, we are making this practice manditory for all of you who are attending this tournament as of midnight tonight.  We plan to go over several important items such as the itinerary, travel, and teams, and need everyone who is going there so that we can get as organized as possible.  If for some reason (ie the world is coming to an end and kangaroos are stampeding through College Station) you cannot make this practice please email either Soong, Billy, or me so that we can make sure that you get all of the information.  Given the short amount of time we have before Houston, Soong, Billy, Matt, David, Jonathan, Jill, and I are going to form the teams for this tournament tomorrow so that we will be able to tell everyone which team they are on during Wednesday's meeting.  We will base our selection on the first round matches, your USTA standings (if you are a member), and our own knowledge of how you play.  If for some reason you don't agree with our placement, fear not!  These teams will not be set in stone, and will most likely change after more competative matches have been played.  Remember the main goal of these tournaments is to have FUN!

 

If you have not signed up yet, but want to go, please go to http://tennisclub.tamu.edu and click on the link called "which tournaments."  WE ARE ALWAYS IN NEED OF MORE PLAYERS (ESPECIALLY GIRLS), AND WANT TO TAKE AS MANY TEAMS AS WE CAN!

Practice

Howdy Ags,

All right so I was pretty happy with our team yesterday, but Fran still sucks. Its amazing what happens when we have more than three plays huh. Its called passing I'm glad Fran learned that in the second half. But anyways practice is today Sunday from 4-7 and make sure you are playing yalls practice matches. And here is a funny story that happened to me yesterday. 

 

Ok so I was driving back to College Station yesterday from Tx State, it was my buddies Birthday. So anyways I get pulled over for a Missing front license plate. Yeah... And the State trooper comes up and than ask me to Step out of the car and walk backwards with my hands on my head. I was like, are you serious is this necessary!! And so he tells me to put my hands on the hood and they search me, which is pretty damn  wierd. And I said is this a standard procedure for a missing license plate.  Than he asked If I had any illegal substances in my system, and i said no, wondering why he would  ask that. Than he asked if I have been arrested I said no, cuz I haven't. And than he said  "he asked all these questions because he could smell marijuana coming from my car!! " And I was dumb founded and was like that's impossible I don't smoke. So he asked if they could search my car. And I told them, legally they cant with out my consent, but i said I had nothing to hide so go ahead no problem. And they made me sit in the back of a car for 30 min while they searched my truck!!!  Of course they didn't find anything and they were like,  our bad its procedure and then I got to leave with some warnings. Why are cops so bored it College Station!!

So see you guys there today.

Duece It

Tournament on October 13 in Houston

Hey everyone!

 

How bout those Aggies!  I don't know about you guys, but I think J-train would make an excellent QB! WHOOP! 

 

As you all know, we have a tournament in H-town (represent!) on October 13th, which is this coming Saturday.  We have set up a link on our website so that everyone can tell us which tournaments they are attending (it is called "which tournaments" on the right side of the webpage).  Several items need to be addressed concerning this tournament:

 

1.  THE SIGNUP DEADLINE FOR THIS TOURNAMENT IS MONDAY, OCTOBER 8 AT MIDNIGHT.  We only have two club meetings between now and the tournament, so we are on a tight schedule.  If you do not sign up for this tournament by this time, you will not be allowed to attend. 

2.  Soong, Billy, and I are the only officers attending this tournament.

 

3.  We are planning on leaving Saturday morning (I believe the tournament starts at 8 am but I could be wrong).  The tournament is at Lee LeClear Tennis Center.

 

4.  WE NEED DRIVERS, especially those of you who have EZ tags and know your way around Houston cuz we want to avoid another Dallas incident (SOONG).  If you can drive please tell us under the "comment" part of of the tournament signup.  Also tell us how many can fit in your car, so we can start assigning people to cars.  If you plan on going down on friday by yourself tell us!

 

5.  We are going to try to provide water, gatorade, etc. for the team, but I can't promise anything at this time.

 

6.  Attached is an assumption of risk form.  Everyone that is planning on going needs to fill this form out and bring it to club on Wednesday, October 10.

 

As always keep checking your email for updates, especially during this coming week, because we will be sending updates throughout.  REMEMBER THE DEADLINE IS MONDAY!

 

Deuce,

Updated Competition Matches/Deadline Extension

To: Texas A&M Tennis Club
From: Soong Hay Tam
Subject: Updated Competition Matches/Deadline Extension

Hey Guys,

Attached is the updated version of the 1st Round Matches.  This version does not affect any matches that have been previously assigned.  I have only added new matches, namely match #s 64, 65, 66.  The President and Vice-President have granted us a few extra days to complete these matches, so the new deadline is no longer Saturday night, but before practice on Wednesday!  If you have reported a default and can now complete the match before the new deadline, please contact your opponent and still try to play the match.  After the completion of the match, still report the scores to tennisclub.tamu.edu.  Good Luck and Have Fun with your matches!  =]  If you have any questions, feel free to reply.

As always, I remain very truly yours,

Soong Hay Tam

P.S. - On a side note, this was the FIRST email I have sent to the club, WOOHOO!!!  OH, and please let us know if you are going to the Houston tournament next weekend, ASAP!

Fall Competitive Play, Practice Tomorrow

Howdy-

Practice tomorrow, 4-7.

If you haven't yet joined the best tennis club in the nation, we will be around tomorrow if you have any questions, collect some dues, or get you signed up to play competitively with us.

We need your USTA numbers, if you are a USTA member. Its real easy to retrieve your number by calling them up if you don't have it memorized or tattooed somewhere. Link to the entry form is on the right side of the website.

Competitive Stuff:

So its looking like we will be traveling to 3 away team tournaments this semester (Houston, Austin, and Dallas), the first of which on Oct 13. We also have scheduled a dual match vs tu (to be played at home) and we will be hosting a singles tournament of our own. The team tournaments are played with 6-10 people per team, in a WTT format. Initial placement on our teams are primarily based our Intra-club competitive matches in the fall, and challenge matches in the spring. Last year we were able to take 5 teams to some of the tournaments.

This fall we will be playing a win-lose type setup, similar to Vicki's tennis class, where you will play people with similar won/lost ratios. For example, on the third week, if you have won 2 and lost 1 match, you will be playing against someone else who has also won 2 and lost 1. We will post the entire setup online soon, but for now, the first round matches are attached.

From here on out, these matches are your responsibility to get in touch with your opponent and get your match played, either during our Sunday practices or in your own time. We are allowing 1 week per match, starting tonight and ending a week from now ( 2 out of 3 sets, regular scoring ). Please let us know if there are any problems getting in touch or finding a suitable playing time.

Score Reporting: check out the "Report a score" button on the right side of our website, where you will enter winner's and loser's name, match number, and your score.



Thats all for now,

David

Upcoming Tennis

First and foremost I want to welcome all the new tennis club members and say thanks to those who have been faithful members over the years.  Our Competitive Play will begin within the week so for all you that signed up for competitive play be prepared to play one to two matches a week.  Next, I'm sorry for the ceaseless annoyance of dues but for all of those wanting to play competitively dues are due.  For those that are not playing competitively dues are also due.  There will be no more "free" practices.  The reason being that this is a club and it is for members only.  If you have not joined and want to play competitively please reply to this email with your phone number and we will contact you.  As always first timers are not required to pay dues but, as i said it is a club so please do not take advantage of that.

Next order of business.  Our first "Team Tournament" is on October 13, also our calendar is on our website for those that want to plan ahead (tennisclub.tamu.edu).  Be thinking as to whether or not you can go to this.

Also for everyone, if you are a USTA member we need your number.  David has created a cool program that makes this easy for everyone.  Go to

http://creator.zoho.com/dvdtho/form/8/

All you do is pick your name and type the number.

Now why are we doing this?  Well USTA wants to know which college has the highest percentage of USTA members.  Therefore once y'all enter in the numbers we will report to them.  This also in a way depicts how much money they give in grants which help us pay for travel expenses, tournaments, etc.  If you are not a member you do not have to do this, so do not worry about it if you are not.  If you do not remember your number contact membership services of the USTA.


Soda paid his dues!!!!

As I mentioned in practice we have a lot of cool events planned this year.  The first thing that we are going to do as a club is go and watch Pete Sampras play Robby Ginepri.  As all of you know These are two great tennis players.  At 7:00 p.m. on Saturday September 22 these two are going to play at the Dr Pepper Star Center in Frisco Texas which is north Dallas.  These tickets will cost $30 each and is only open to club members.  We are planning on driving down saturday afternoon and leaving Sunday around noon.  As of right now we have three houses for people to stay in so space is limited and will be based on a first come first serve.  If however some of you live in that area and would be willing to offer your house for us that would be greatly appreciated and would allow more people to go.  So check your schedule, see if you can go then reply to this email.

Thanks everyone,

Jonathan

Inter-club Tournaments this Fall

We will be traveling to several inter-club tournaments this fall. These are lots of fun, great times to make friends and play a little tennis. They are all Saturday only events, so for the Houston and Austin ones, we will leave early and come back late. Check out our calendar for dates.

We will be taking as many teams, of 8-10 people per team, as we can make, hopefully. If you are not familiar with how we play the WTT format, check it out. We will have some, to be determined, type of competition to help us initially place you on teams before the first tournament.

Tennis Club vs Intramurals

So we were thinking what is the difference between intramural and tennis club, are they the same?

Well the truth is they are not. Intramural is an ongoing tournament throughout the semester. Although it is fun it only involves those who sign up and you will just play one another. Club Tennis will not only have a similar tournament to that of intramural but if gives the opportunity to play in WTT tournaments against other schools, play other colleges in dual matches and I'm not just talking about club teams. Last year we played an actual varsity team and had a convincing victory. We also do social things so that we can get to know another... and we get cool shirts.

Hope to see ya'll on Wednesday,

Jonathan

" happiness is like peeing your pants only you can feel its warmth"

Awsome first day!!!

Howdy Ags!!,

OK Guys so the first day of club is over.... God it was freakin saweeet!! I hope all of yall had an amazing time!!!! I know I did...best ball feeder ever!!! I know clean winner can get a lil repetitive, but with the numbers we had its hard to get a lot of things going at a constant pace... Clean winner is a good way to meet the tennis chicks and dudes. So guys, play it smooth!!! Don't hit at the girls at 100 MPH not too cool......hmmm Robert. Yes Robert has been crowned last year's woman slayer, so who's up for the task this year. Kelly once again being the creepy old person has once again shown off her matching styles. Pretty lame if you ask me, but if some one can out do her please do so. But back on track. Remember guys dues!!!!!!!!!!!! Please as soon as you can pay your dues. The sooner (<--lame!!) ha-ha get It., you pay your dues the sooner we can get you in our pool play and you can start competing. YAY for competing. And plus that nifty sweet tennis shirt!!! For free or for $40. Depends on how ya look at it. Another thing, last year's club was amazing! our club members were really close and have become great friends. We hang out together every day. Let's shoot for the same goals this year. Our next club practice is Sunday at 4-7 P.M. at the tennis courts. Now if you can only hit for a lil bit no worries. There is no time line of when you have to get there or leave. Preferably at the start but when ever is cool. OK guys I hope yall have an amazing rest of the week, and if ya need anything or want to hit give me or some of your fellow club members a call.

Deuce it!

Getting Involved

We welcome both experienced and non-experienced players. We meet on Wednesday nights and Sunday afternoons for three hours. You are more than welcome to just come whenever. During those practice, we feed our favorite game, called 'clean winner', but you are welcome to grab some balls or pick up a doubles game. In addition to weekly practices, we travel to other colleges to play dual matches against other club teams and play in competitive club tournaments.

In spring 2009, we were able to take every member that wanted to play to several tournaments including Sectionals.

During the fall of each year, members are divided into smaller teams; and in the spring of each year, we send many of our small teams to a Sectionals Tournament. If we succeed at Sectionals, we send our top team to compete in the National Tournament against club teams from colleges across the nation. Since 2001, the TAMU Tennis Club has won the National Club Tournament six times.

Dues are $50/year or $30/sem which helps cover for balls, shirts, uniforms, social events, REC court fees, entry fees, housing, and travel costs for intra- and inter-club tournaments in and around the state, and to nationals, etc... Club members also receive up to 15% off Tennis Warehouse purchases.

Our main form of communication is through our List serve. If you would like to be added, let us know at tamu10s@gmail.com. Check out our Facebook group as well.
