| Team History | ||
|---|---|---|
| Formed in 2006 by a freshman student, the UVic Tennis Club has seen major growth over the past two years, both in recreational membership as well as competitive team participation. Our first year highlights included a diverse membership base of over 50. The goal of our first year was simply to create a network of players that could get access to court time, equipment, and instruction. Balls and racquets were purchased for club use along with facility bookings. It became apparent at this time that there were talented passionate individuals of whom loved the sport and wanted to continue playing at a high level. We were delighted to find out that the USTA already organized events for student-athletes like ourselves and were thrilled to be able to participate in the USTA Campus Championship - Pacific Northwest in Oregon. We then co-founded a similar league in our home province, the British Columbia Inter-colegiate Tennis League. In 2007, our second year in existence, the club had over 100 members of all playing levels. Recreational level players play once a week under the supervision and guidance of the UVic team members. This allows for tremendous growth of the game on campus and in the city, while generating significant funds for team travel and court rentals. The team, in turn, rents court time with the generated funds in order to train twice a week in preparation for competitive events. We will continue to operate as a multi-faceted club, serving all students at the univeristy. Our mission statement is simple: Grow the game for today; grow the game for tommorow, and never stop playing. |
