| The Loyola University Chicago Club Tennis Team was founded five years ago with the hope of instilling a contagious love for the game among the student body. Since then, the team membership has only multiplied; with rising numbers, the team’s focus has shifted to catering tennis players of all abilities – whether former state champions or complete beginners. The early months of the school year promise great weather and tennis conditions, and with practices offered each weekday, each member develops not only their tennis game, but a strong network of friends. As the year progresses, a final traveling team is formed and competes across the Midwest. The Loyola Club Tennis Team recently received an at-large bid to compete in the 2009 USTA National Campus Championship and is very excited about making an impact on the national level. |
