EXCITING NEWS!
We now have a new USTA NorCal website—visit ustanorcal.com to explore the refreshed site. Most information will move there in the future as we reorganize this site. Feel free to look around, and if you have any questions, reach out to us at marketing@norcal.usta.com. We’d love to hear from you!
What is Tennis On Campus?
USTA’s Tennis On Campus (TOC) program is designed to provide college students with opportunities for team camaraderie, social networking, and rivaled competition through tennis without the rigors of a varsity program. TOC offers co-ed team-based play, regional and national championship competitions, and helps students maintain active and healthy lifestyles through their college years.
If you’re an individual looking to join the program at your school or a club tennis team looking to set up a match with other club tennis teams, you’re in the right place.
Currently, the program is offered on over 300 college campuses across the United States and we are always looking to add more!
Check out the list of Tennis On Campus Programs on our national website at www.tennisoncampus.com and get in touch with the program of your choice directly! The 13 Northern California schools participating in Tennis On Campus include:
