The USTA’s Collegiate Center, the home of UCF Tennis, will feature 12 hard courts with seating capacity for 1,200 spectators. The Center also will feature a pavilion that includes concessions and locker rooms. UCF and the USTA jointly aim to host many NCAA Tennis National Championships in the future at the Collegiate Center. Our partnership with the USTA and presence at its National Campus at Lake Nona will provide unparalleled exposure for UCF Tennis.
 

Competitive Resources

In order to fully realize the impact of the Collegiate Center at UCF, financial support from tennis alumni and community friends is essential. Competitive resources will enable our coaches to effectively recruit the very best student-athletes globally, provide cutting-edge training methods and equipment and adequately serve the needs of our tennis student-athletes.

“Our goal is to win national championships in tennis and we invite our tennis alumni, tennis enthusiasts in Orlando and beyond to be a part of this effort.”
- Danny White, UCF’s Vice President and Director of Athletics
