TENNIS PLAYING FACILITIES

K-State Women's Tennis plays in two different venues: Body First Fitness and Tennis Center in Manhattan for indoor matches, and the K-State Tennis Center on the K-State campus, for outdoor matches.

K-State has partnered with Body First Fitness and Tennis Center for the last four seasons to utilize the indoor courts at its facility. Body First Fitness and Tennis Center features three indoor  hard courts for the Wildcats to use for both competition and practice. In 2011, K-State recorded a 6-2 mark at the facility including its first-ever win over Texas A&M.

The brand-new K-State Tennis Center features six outdoor courts, with purple playing surfaces and Powercats dividing the courts. The courts also feature Musco lighting system, steel benches with K-State welded into the back rests and metal blachers on the south side of the court with room to accomodate 400 fans. The K-State Tennis Center is part of a $2 million renovation of the outdoor facilities at the Chester E. Peters Recreation Complex. The renovated complex features two outdoor basketball courts and two sand volleyball courts. Future phases of the project will include a locker room space for the K-State Tennis team, a scoreboard for K-State tennis matches, a concession stand, public restroom, an outdoor equipment rental area and two handball/racquetball courts.

BUD AND MARTI NEWELL STRENGTH COMPLEX

The Bud and Marti Newell Strength and Conditioning Complex, which is located in the Vanier Sports Complex, is a newly-renovated 13,000 square foot weight facility that includes more than $100,000 worth of essential weight training equipment.

The complex also contains a new improved athletic training facility complete with hydrotherapy center.

Under the guidance and supervision of head strength coach Mike Kent, and a nationally certified strength and conditioning staff, each and every athlete is trained to reach peak physical performance.
