The Outdoor Tennis Courts became the home to the Panther men’s and women’s tennis teams in the fall of 2024.
The state-of-the-art facility features 12 courts that are utilized throughout the fall and spring seasons. The courts are post-tensioned concrete courts that offer distinct advantages over traditional asphalt courts. High-strength steel cables embedded within the concrete enhance durability and stability. Post-tension concrete improves performance by reducing deflection, minimizing vibration, ensuring superior crack control, and extending the lifespan compared to standard asphalt courts which typically last around a decade. The courts also incorporate a top-quality acrylic emulsion coating.
Other features that will be added in the future include the installation of six PlaySight cameras, a storage and utility shed, sound system and network equipment, bleachers between the banks of courts and windscreens.
