Verdieck Tennis Center | University of Redlands

Coach Jim Verdieck Tennis Center

The new Coach Jim Verdieck Tennis Center will result in 12 lighted courts on a post-tension concrete playing surface. There are many compelling reasons to support this new complex:

Improving the overall experience for Bulldog tennis student-athletes
Providing a modernized space that will allow the Bulldog men and women’s teams to compete simultaneously
Creating opportunities to host regional tournaments and the NCAA Championships tournaments at U of R
Elevating our ability to recruit and retain top tennis student-athletes from across the country
