SURPRISE, ARIZONA On behalf of the United States Tennis Association, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex and the 2019 USTA Tennis On Campus National Championship. This one-of-a-kind event celebrates the culmination of the 2019 Tennis On Campus season, and it brings together hundreds of student-athletes throughout the country to compete for the title of national champion. Tennis On Campus is one of the USTA’s most popular and successful initiatives, providing thousands of players who do not participate in a varsity tennis program with an opportunity to get involved—and stay involved—in the sport that they love. Tennis On Campus has helped not only to grow our game, but also to enhance the lives of those who participate in it. It’s a fun, social program that has produced a whole new generation of players who have discovered the countless opportunities and the host of benefits that tennis provides; opportunities and benefits that will stay with them throughout their lives. Since its inception in 2000, participation in the Tennis On Campus program has grown significantly from a few thousand players to more than 40,000 players competing at more than 700 colleges and universities throughout the country. Tennis On Campus has been great for tennis—and equally great for the individuals who participate in it. The excitement, enthusiasm and fun on display here this week is perfectly reflective of what Tennis on Campus is all about. Expect lots of great competition and loads of great fun; all essential ingredients of one great sport. I want to thank the USTA’s valuable partners in this event, including NIRSA and World TeamTennis and offer a special thank you to everyone here at Surprise Tennis & Racquet Complex for all of your help and hospitality in putting together this wonderful event. And of course, thanks to all of the USTA volunteers and staff who have made Tennis On Campus the success story that it has become. With three days of thrilling competition and unbridled team spirit, the 2019 USTA Tennis On Campus National Championship promises to be an unforgettable event, both for players and fans alike. I congratulate all the competing teams, and I thank you all for your support of Tennis On Campus. Enjoy the competition! Patrick J. Galbraith USTA Chairman and President WELCOME FROM USTA WELCOME 3 APRIL 11-13, 2019 Players, coaches, spectators, and staff: On behalf of NIRSA, NIRSA Services Corporation Board and the NIRSA Championship Series Committee, I am thrilled to welcome you all to this milestone tournament in Surprise, AZ. This year’s USTA Tennis On Campus Championship part of the NIRSA Championship Series marks the 20th consecutive year of national championship tournament play for tennis. Thank you all for being here to celebrate the occasion with your commitment to inclusive recreation, spirited competition, and fair play. For twenty years, the National Tennis Championship has gained renown among colleges and universities not only for its high-level national competition, but also for serving as a platform for professional development where young professionals build skills and engage in hands-on learning. The passion of our officials and of the tournament staff drives the efficient organization of this tournament and makes the participants’ experiences and opportunities for growth all the richer. While you’re enjoying all the rallies and point scoring the next few days will bring, don’t forget this tournament is a singular opportunity to stand with your teammates and represent your home institution and the broader NIRSA and USTA communities while competing with fellow elite athletes from across the continent. Know that while you’re here, you are surrounded by likeminded people who share your commitment to making this tournament the very best it can be.

  • Mid-Atlantic Section TOC Championship Green Spring Racquet Club, Lutherville, MD February 11-12, 2012
    USTA/MID-ATLANTIC’S TENNIS ON CAMPUS NEWSLETTER SPRING 2012 Mid-Atlantic Section TOC Championship Green Spring Racquet Club, Lutherville, MD February 11-12, 2012 Despite the freezing temperatures, the tennis at Green Spring Racquet Club in Lutherville, Maryland was just starting to heat up. On the weekend of February 11th and 12th, the club played host to the 2012 Mid-Atlantic Tennis On Campus Section Championship. 15 club tennis teams from colleges and universities across the section gathered in Maryland to compete for a chance to earn a trip to this year’s Tennis On Campus National Championship in Cary, North Carolina. Saturday’s action kicked off with pool play. The 15 team field was divided into 3 pools of 4 and one pool of 3. Pool winners were the College of William & Mary, James Madison University, Old Dominion University, and the University of Virginia. Joining these teams in the gold bracket were Johns Hopkins University, George Washington University, Georgetown University and the University of Maryland. On Sunday, a win in the first round would guarantee a trip to nationals. After UVA, James Madison, and Maryland advanced out of the quarter finals comfortably, one match proved to be a nail bitter. The William and Mary team was leading going into the mixed doubles set and a quick break by George Washington had the Tribe on edge. But thanks to a few clutch forehands by both William and Mary players, the match was over and the Tribe was moving on with a 25-22 victory. Because UVA won the fall invitational and already secured a bid to nationals, an extra bid went to the winner of the back draw.
