Why support Cardinal tennis?

The belief that hard work and enjoyment can coexist has been a guiding principle for us. However, the pursuit of success, both on and off the court, is significantly enhanced with the necessary resourcesand equipment. Whether it’s team travel, trip opportunities, practice tennis balls, or training equipment, every contribution plays a vital role in ensuring our team operates at its best.

I am thrilled to share some recent highlights that underscore the success and vibrancy of our tennis program. In the 2022/23 academic year, we proudly had nine Academic All MIAC Scholars, a testament to the dedication of our student-athletes in the classroom. Additionally, our team embarked onsuccessful trips to Orlando for Spring Break and to England in May, providing our players with a unique cultural and tennis experience. Notably, we were featured in the Northumbrian Gazette for hosting a free Adult and Junior Clinic at the Alnwick Tennis Club—an initiative that reflects our commitment to community engagement.

As we look forward to ongoing success on and off the court, we do so with gratitude for the generous help of our donors. I invite you to consider a gift to the Cardinal Excellence Fund for Tennis, which directly supports our student-athletes by providing the equipment and resources essential for success on the court and in their academic pursuits. 

Your generosity and support serve as vital resources that empower our student-athletes to perform at their best, should that be in competition or the classroom. Whether through a donation or cheering us on, we sincerely appreciate your support in advance.

Go Cardinals!
