TAMPA, Fla. (Mar. 21, 2026) – The University of South Florida proudly opens its state-of-the-art varsity tennis courts. Along with top-tier playing surfaces, enhanced spectator seating, and modern lighting systems, it supports elite-level training and competition. The courts will serve as the home for USF's men's and women's tennis programs, providing an excellent environment for athletes, coaches, and fans.

The newly constructed facility features 12 competition-ready courts, with the six courts on the north side serving as the primary match courts. Designed to elevate both player performance and the fan experience, the complex introduces several first-of-its-kind enhancements for USF Tennis.

Among the highlights is a brand-new 13x23-foot LED videoboard, the first of its kind for the program. At each of the 12 courts, scoreboards provide real-time match updates throughout the facility. To bring it all together, a state-of-the-art sound system will enhance the atmosphere on match days. The facility is also equipped with a cutting-edge lighting system from Musco, allowing the Bulls to host matches and practice at night. In addition, a permanently installed broadcasting system, Playsight, enables easy-to-watch match streaming and analytics.

The new courts will help the tennis programs attract elite competitors, enhance athlete development, and help with recruiting efforts.
