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 Wamego Recreation Complex in Wamego, Kan., for outdoor matches. The Wildcats also use the tennis courts at the Washburn Tennis Facility located on the K-State campus for all of its outdoor practices.

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 Wamego Recreation Complex features six outdoor courts, with all courts featuring lights. The Wildcats have used these courts for the last four seasons.

The Washburn Tennis Facility is located near the K-State Recreation Complex on the K-State campus and features 10 lighted courts. The courts are located at the Chester E Peters Recreation Complex, constructed in 1980 at a cost of $3.3 million, which was raised entirely from student fees.

The center was named after Chester E. (Chet) Peters who served as Vice President for Student Affairs. The building was renovated in 1995 for a total cost of $8.2 million. This complex provides racquetball courts, basketball courts, a weight/fitness area, combatives area, aerobic/multipurpose room, running tracks, video lounge, service area and administrative offices for the Recreation Services.
