| Wisconsin Club Tennis Team History At the end of 2005 there was a group of about ten individuals who were extremely passionate about the sport of tennis and had a desire to make it a competitive club sport on the University of Wisconsin campus. After several months, the club team became approved and since then has been a thriving sport club on campus. The team has been extremely successful in its 3 year existence having grown to over 250 members to date. Our players come from 3 countries and 20 different states. The Wisconsin Club Tennis Team is the 2nd largest club sport on campus with over 150 members. Wisconsin Club Tennis Team Mission Statement To promote the game of tennis on the University of Wisconsin campus. We want to create interest among those who have had no prior experience with tennis as well as create a competitive environment for those who have previously played high school tennis and USTA tournaments. |
