Tennis

NTU Tennis offers a range of regular and one-off internal competitive opportunities for students who are interested in playing matches and tennis competitions against other NTU students.

Tennis Box Leagues

The NTU Tennis Internal Box Leagues involve regular tennis matches against players of similar playing experience/ability within a competitive, organised league structure. Players arrange matches and compete in their own time (with allocated court time available) to complete matches before a deadline set by the organiser.

Tennis One-off Matchplay Events

There are also regular one-off Matchplay events where students can test their match play skills in more formalised, organised individual competition using a round robin-style format. Matchplays happen twice per term.

Tennis Club Championships

The annual NTU Tennis Club Championships is for everyone in the club to battle it out to become champion in a range of competitions (singles, doubles) for the academic year! The Finals Day is a great social event to celebrate the year of tennis at NTU.

Email NTU Tennis for more information about how to get involved.

One-off tournaments for all sports

We also regularly arrange tournaments in badminton, table tennis and basketball. Follow us on Instagram and Facebook for updates.
