The Schwartz Tennis Center is offering a 2013 Summer Membership -- May 28, 2013 - August 31, 2013. This membership is great for a person who is here for the summer, home from college, or if you just want to try out the Schwartz Tennis Center before purchasing a full-year membership. The summer membership has the same summer time benefits as the full-year membership. If at the end of the summer you decide you want to become a full-year member, you will receive a 10% discount on the full-year fee.

Membership Highlights include

On Saturday, May 11 the team's season ended in the second round with a 4-0 loss to the No. 6 Miami Hurricanes. The match was ended after the Hurricanes won the doubles point and #4, #5, and #6 singles. Mara Schmidt (#1 Singles) lost the first set to No. 60 Stephanie Wagner 6-3, won the second set 6-3, and was trailing 2-0 in the third when competition was halted. Lynda Xepoleas (#2 Singles) took the first set from No. 81 Kelsey Laurente 6-3 and was tied 4-4 in the second set.

The Boilermakers' 18 wins tie last year's team for the most wins in program history. The lone senior on the team, Gisella Pere, was a part of more dual match victories (66) than any other women's tennis student-athlete.

The 2013 team also achieved the highest ranking in program history (No. 14) and also had the highest ranked road win against then-No. 19 Notre Dame. This also marks the first time in program history that the team has reached the NCAA team tournament in back-to-back years.

In addition, Purdue's Krisztina Kapitany and Mara Schmidt have been selected as one of the 32 doubles teams that will compete in the singles and doubles competition which will be conducted May 22-27 at the University of Illinois following the conclusion of the team championship, which runs May 17-21.

The center, which was completed in December 2006, is Purdue University’s first indoor tennis center. Named for the lead donors, Dennis J. and Mary Lou Schwartz, the facility provides the Purdue and Tippecanoe County communities with state-of-the-art, modern tennis courts in an upscale setting.

The six indoor and six outdoor courts are available to the public. The 60,000-square-foot facility includes locker rooms for the teams, offices for administrative staff and coaches, an athletic training room, and seating areas for fans on the mezzanine above the courts. A pro shop, located in the lobby, is staffed with knowledgeable people ready to help you with your tennis needs.

Technology at the Schwartz Tennis Center includes 12 Plexipave cushioned courts. The layered system is designed to give better support to the athlete's legs during play. Daktronic electronic scoreboards are on each of the indoor and outdoor courts. The six indoor individual scoreboards feed into a large master scoreboard on the west end of the facility, which displays individual and team scoring. The scoreboards are operated from courtside via wireless remote. The tennis center also uses Dartfish Video Analysis technology to assist in player development. A state-of-the-art sound system with Klipsch speakers helps create an energetic atmosphere for the team events.

We hope you will make the Schwartz Tennis Center your favorite place to play tennis. We also invite you to come to the tennis center to cheer on the Boilermaker teams. Admission is free to the varsity matches.
