Frequently Asked Questions
How can I join the club tennis team?
At the beginning of the school year, attend the Club Fair or Mega Fair. We have a booth where officers can answer your questions and you can sign up on our list. If you can't attend either event, email an officer and we will put you on the list. We accept people at any time during the school year!
Are there tryouts?
There are no tryouts. Anyone can join the team. However, if you would like to travel to tournaments, there are challenge matches.
When and where are practices?
During the fall and spring, practices are Monday through Thursday from 6:00 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. at the varsity courts behind Yager, the football stadium. In the winter, practices are at Riverside Athletic Club in Hamilton at a time to be determined (transportation is provided).
Do I have to attend every practice?
Practice is completely optional. However, if you want to travel with the team to tournaments, you must attend practice as frequently as possible. Practice attendance is considered for whoever would like to compete at the tournaments.
What are practices like?
Practices consist mostly of match play and baseline games, but the team is open to new ideas. Members are grouped according to similar play level. Tennis balls are provided at practice.
Can I travel to tournaments?
Tournaments, that determine our club tennis team's ranking, are attended by the club's top players. Usually this is 4 girls and 4 boys. However, each club member that intends on participating in ANY tournament must be registered on TennisLink as a USTA member and list themselves under Miami University's club tennis team. This is a mandatory rule from our USTA Midwest Coordinator, Steve Wise.
How social is the club?
We facilitate a very social club atmosphere. We have occasional get-togethers and it is very easy to meet new people at practice.
How much are dues and how do I pay them?
Club dues are $120 for the entire academic year or $80 for one semester. Give them to an officer in the form of cash or check. The check can be made to "Miami University Club Tennis". These dues cover court time, balls, travel, and includes a t-shirt!
