Tennis On Campus Fall Invite Returns to Kossover Tennis Center

“This tournament is a unique event that encourages team spirit, camaraderie, and social interaction [that] also incorporates the WTT match/scoring format,” explained Scott Howes, manager of adult play at USTA Missouri Valley. “Each match will consist of the following sets: one male singles, one male doubles, one female singles, one female doubles, and one mixed doubles, with the total number of games won determining the overall winner of the match. 

“It's really just an overall fun time for everyone involved,” Howes continued. “In addition, all players who register for the tournament will receive a player gift and the top three teams will receive awards, not to mention bragging rights for an entire year!”

This year’s tournament also marks the launch of a new team photo contest. Players from all teams are encouraged to post pictures from the event on USTA Missouri Valley social media sites and outlets. Keep an eye on section socials to keep up with all the fun!
