Men's Tennis

Purpose of Athletics: Athletics at Northwestern exists to enhance the mission of the university and honor Christ through a lifetime of competitive Christ-like attitudes, sportsmanship, speech, and actions. Daily devotions, prayer, as well as community outreach and missions trips also make up the uniqueness of athletics at our institution.

Mission Statement: Athletics at Northwestern exists to utilize sports as the conduit for spiritual, educational, social and athletic growth of our student-athletes, encouraging them to maximize all their gifts. Luke 2:52

UNW Tennis exists to leverage the game of tennis to cultivate men and women who achieve their potential on the court as players and off as men and women and as followers of Jesus.

We love to be a part of UNW Athletics’ tagline, “Compete With Purpose”

1. Place Christ First

2. Invest In Relationships

3. Pursue Our Best

The 4 Pillars of UNW Tennis are

1. Christ-like Character

2. Maximum Effort

3. Process over Product

4. Good Sportsmanship

Along with all of the time on court in practice and matches we also build in team Bible Studies, sharing testimonies & ministry/service projects. In fact in 2025 both the Men’s and Women’s teams were Top 10 in the country (all divisions) for Community Service! “It’s about WAY more than tennis here!”

Perhaps the greatest evidence of God’s hand of favor on UNW Tennis is the number of alumni who come back as Assistant or Volunteer Coaches!
