Constructed in 1991, the Atkins Tennis Center continues to be recognized as one of the premier tennis facilities in the country on a university campus. The initial project was made possible by a generous contribution from Clint and Susie Atkins and was devel-oped to provide a state of the art training facility for the University of Illinois varsi-ty tennis teams. In addition, the facility was to be made available to the public and allow members of the community the opportunity to learn and play ten-nis. Once completed, the Atkins Tennis Center featured six indoor courts, eight lighted outdoor courts, public locker and restroom facilities, and a Pro Shop of-fering tennis equipment and apparel. In 1992, the USTA recognized Atkins as the country’s “Most Outstanding Tennis Facility.”

In April 2009, the Division of Intercollegiate Athletics unveiled the Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex which is part of the Atkins Tennis Center. This magnificent project was made possible by Shahid and Ann Khan who are great supporters of Illinois Tennis and the Urbana - Champaign community. The expansion increased Atkins’ number of outdoor courts to twenty, including twelve championship courts that feature individual score-boards and spectator seating. In addition to the courts, the project provided a new en-trance and Pro Shop area as well as additional restrooms on the east side of the existing tennis center. The Khan Outdoor Tennis Complex is the foremost outdoor facility in the Big Ten Conference and offers world-class amenities to the public. The primary function of the Atkins Tennis Center is to serve as the practice and com-

petition home for the Illinois Fighting Illini women’s and men’s tennis teams. Since its construction, the women’s team has achieved a number of milestones including a program high ranking of 22 in 2004 and a win over top-ranked Duke in 2003. In 2009, Illinois’ women’s team hosted its first NCAA Regional and came within one point of advancing to the Sweet 16. The Illinois’ men’s team is a fixture at the top of college tennis. The 2003 team captured the NCAA Team, Sin-gles, and Doubles Titles in what has been called “The Perfect Season.” In 2007 the Illini came within one win

of their second NCAA Team Championship. In 2010, the Fighting Illini Men took home the Big Ten Tournament Title. Since its opening, numerous collegiate tennis champions have trained and competed at Atkins.

facility overviewIn addition to being the home of Illinois Tennis, the Atkins Tennis Center is open to all members of the Urbana - Champaign community and visitors to the area. Atkins does not charge a membership fee. When the facility is not being used by the varsity teams, tennis players may reserve a court or receive instruction in a private lesson or group clinic. Atkins staff is dedicated to growing the game and offering quality instructional programs and leagues for players of all ages and levels. All information regarding court time at Atkins and the programs offered for the upcoming semester are outlined in this program brochure.

Ju-nior campers receive approximately 35 hours of on-court training over five days while adult campers receive 20 hours of instruction over a weekend. For more information on the Fighting Illini Summer Tennis Camps at the Atkins Tennis Center call(217) 244-7278 or visit www.fightingillini.com/camps.

In 2013 the University of Illinois and the Atkins Tennis Center hosted the 2013 NCAA Division I Women’s and Men’s Tennis Championships. It was the first time a Midwest school has hosted the NCAA Tournament since the women’s and men’s champi-onships were combined in 2005. Atkins also hosts a number of elite junior tourna-ments and one of the longest running professional tournaments on the USTA Pro Circuit: the JSM Challenger.

Whether you are new to the game and looking to learn, an advanced player looking for competition, or a fan of collegiate sport, Atkins has something to offer everyone. The state of the art facility and expert staff provide a superior experience for players and spectators.

Two 18 week sessions correspond with the University of Illinois’ fall and spring semesters. Exact session dates are listed below.

PCT Session DatesFall Session (18 weeks) September 9-January 12

Spring Session (17 weeks) January 13- May 11

Captains will be notified of any conflicts during the PCT sessionwhich would result in a cancellation of PCT on certain dates.

Anyone who wishes to purchase PCT must fill out and sign a PCT form which is avail-able at Atkins’ front desk. On the form each group must designate a captain who will be the contact person for the group.
