Howdy to all.

Well to begin, membership will only cost 25$ (normally 40$) through this Friday, so if you register before this Friday then you can become the newest member of USTA and can take advantage of all its benefits. Also there is a competition between clubs to see which club can get the most memberships. If we do well, we could could be entitled financial help of which would benefit the club. So if you are interested in this then follow the following instructions.

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.
