DO I NEED TO AUDITION TO GET INTO THE CLUB?
Yes, a trial is necessary for all students who wish to join the CCA. Captains will conduct trials upon expressing interest and students are preferred to have a background in the sport.
“The Tennis club has allowed me to make many friends with people who have the same interests as I do. It has also provided me with a sense of belonging and a support system that helped me to assimilate into my university life.”
- Valerie Lai, Events Director, School of Accountancy, Year 2

FAQ
Unfortunately, SMU tennis is a solely competitive team. All our club resources are devoted to ensuring that our team remains competent and towards the goal of winning competitions. Hence, the selection process in selecting new members is highly stringent, and some level of skill is required.
After application, you will be required to participate in a trial. In this trial, the captains of the respective teams and the Executive Committee will assess your ability and attitude. We will also be looking out for individuals who display high competency in the sport during our events such as Social Tennis and the External Tennis Camp.
Fret not, the tennis club organises events that are open to all SMU students and exchange students every semester! These events include Social Tennis and Tennis Camp. These events are targeted at allowing non-club members the opportunity to play and learn from our team!
Unfortunately, our campus does not have any tennis facilities. Our team uses ActiveSG courts that are near our school. Namely Kallang Tennis Centre, St Wilfred’s Tennis Centre and Farrer Park Tennis Centre. If you do not own a racket, feel free to email us to request a free rental of a tennis racket.
In the off-season, our club’s captains will oversee trainings and team bonding sessions. In season, we hire a certified external tennis train the team to ensure that we are ready for our competitions.
