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.

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.
