2026-27 Tryout info

Why You Should Join:

The UBC Women’s Tennis SC is made up of about 12-16 student-athletes who all share a passion for the sport of tennis and who wish to compete in women’s tennis to represent UBC. New players who share the team’s passion and will add positively to the team are always welcome. We invite all students who are interested in competing at a high level in tennis to come to tryouts in September at the beginning of each academic year. Joining the UBC TSC Women’s Tennis Team enables a player to both improve within the sport and build long-lasting relations within the team. The tight-knit and supportive players are encouraging and motivating. Although tennis is known to be an individual sport, the UBC TSC Women’s Tennis Team creates a true team atmosphere, as everyone works together to achieve the same goal.

Eligibility Requirements:

The current team members maintain a high and competitive level of tennis. Therefore, previous experience is highly recommended in both practice and match situations for prospective players. Interested players are always welcome to try out in September for the upcoming season.

Expectations for the women’s tennis student-athletes throughout the season include:

• Attendance of three practices per week
• Attendance at all competitions, such as: Regionals, Westerns, Nationals (if the team qualifies), and other season matches
• Attendance at all fundraising events, such as: October Tennis Mixer and possibly others
• Best effort and attitude at all competitions, practices, and other events

Academic Requirements:

Team members are required to maintain good academic standing – minimum 60% average or passing standards as identified by their faculty – and must not be on academic probation.

Team members must be students at the University of British Columbia who are registered in an Undergraduate or Graduate 9-credit course load per term in the current session, or fulfilling the requirements for a PhD/Masters, or Co-op Program. (Students registered in diploma programs, certificate programs, or affiliated colleges/ programs with the University of British Columbia including: Carey Theological College, Regent College, St. Mark’s College, and the Vancouver School of Theology, are not eligible for active membership in a UBC Thunderbirds Sport Club.)

Team Fees:

Team fees will vary depending on the number of competitions, roster size, and fundraising, but are expected to be between $100 to $350 per term, and about $100 for a mandatory, one-time, competition apparel fee.
