UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS TEAM COURT TIME

During the fall and spring semesters the University of Illinois men's and women's tennis teams have all courts reserved from 1:30 - 5:30 pm and one court from 6:00 am - 10:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Any court not needed by the teams for the following day may be reserved after 6:00 pm. If the teams are using outdoor courts, indoor courts may be reserved on the understanding that the teams may practice indoors should it rain.

Also, men's and women's matches or visiting team practices may override normally scheduled activities. All participants affected by conflicts will be given as much advance notice as possible and will not be billed for that time. Thank you for your cooperation.

BALL MACHINE RENTAL

A ball machine may be rented for use on the indoor courts only. The cost of the ball machine is $5 per hour plus the cost of the indoor court. Please see the Random Court Time page for information on indoor court rates.
