ABOUT THIS PROJECT

Delaware Men’s Tennis has had a strong showing in their fall season, as they prepare for conference championships this Spring. They had a dominant win at the Joe Hunt Invitational hosted by Navy in September, going 17-4 in singles action and 3-5 in doubles play. They finished last season undefeated at home and advanced to the semifinal round of the Conference USA championships in their first year in the league. This year, they look to improve upon their success last season.

THE IMPACT OF YOUR SUPPORT 

Your support of Delaware Men’s Tennis ensures our men’s tennis student-athletes have the resources they need to have an exceptional student-athlete experience and to achieve success in the classroom, on the court and in the community. Donations support nutrition services, sports medicine needs, equipment, leadership development, career readiness programming and more for these student-athletes.

Donor support helps fund key resources such as the EliteForm camera system and Hawkin Force Plates subscriptions. The EliteForm camera system is located in the weight room and measures how fast each athlete moves the bar on every rep. Strength coaches adjust each workout to the individual, and athletes can see their progress rep by rep. This data is complemented by the Hawkin Force Plates, which measure the force and power behind every jump. A quick jump test tells staff whether an athlete is fresh or fatigued. It also flags when one leg produces more force than the other and shows each athlete which parts of their training to focus on. Over time, it tracks their strength and power gains. These tools are incredibly useful in reducing the risk of injury.
