FACILITIES

MOUNTAINEER TENNIS COURTS The Mountaineer Tennis Courts boast six rebound-ace hard courts and grandstand seating for more than 500 spectators. The facility is located on campus, adjacent to the WVU Coliseum, providing ample parking and easy access for players and fans alike. In 2016, new lights were added to illuminate all six courts for play at night. Additionally, new windscreens were added. In 2019, the courts were resurfaced and repainted to offer a fresh new look for fans, while providing a safe and comfortable playing surface for the studentathletes.

SUMMIT TENNIS ACADEMY Summit Tennis Academy offers a place for the West Virginia University women’s tennis team to compete during inclement weather. Summit features four indoor championship cushioned Deco Turf System courts, a climate-controlled environment with lighting at a competitive level for full sun protection from UV rays and spectator viewing areas to watch and enjoy the competitive play. These courts were used at the US Open and Tennis Masters Cincinnati.

WE HOST FALL TOURNAMENTS OUTDOORS, AND WE PLAY OUTSIDE THROUGHOUT THE FALL SEMESTER. IT IS BEAUTIFUL HERE IN WEST VIRGINIA. THE TRAINING ROOM, WEIGHT ROOM AND ACADEMIC CENTER ARE ALL WITHIN WALKING DISTANCES FROM THE TENNIS COURTS. IT REALLY HELPS US MAXIMIZE OUR TIME AND DO THE BEST THAT WE CAN ON AND OFF THE COURTS. – MIHA LISAC

Summit also offers five outdoor lighted Hartru clay courts. In addition, the spacious club house offers private men’s and women’s locker rooms, a luxurious lobby and a player’s lounge with a big screen TV. Members can play, relax and socialize in a pleasant, quiet environment. At Summit, the WVU women’s tennis team has priority at designated times and will be accommodated for indoor play in the event of inclement weather. In addition, there is a full service pro shop and instructional services by professional coaching and teaching instructors, along with on-court technology for stroke and playing analysis. In 2017, five new seating areas were added to now accommodate over 100 more spectators during indoor matches.

SUMMIT IS AN OUTSTANDING TENNIS FACILITY THAT PROVIDES INDOOR PLAY FOR US. IT IS AN INCREDIBLY WELL-MAINTAINED FACILITY, AND WE HAVE BEEN VERY FORTUNATE TO HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH SUMMIT AND MAKE IT OUR HOME REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER. – MIHA LISAC
