About St. Bonaventure Men's Tennis

St. Bonaventure's men's tennis team competes in the highly-competitive Atlantic-10 Conference.  Aside from conference-competition, the team competes against several regionally ranked teams and other squads in the northeast region and upstate New York.  There are 6 all-weather outdoor courts located on campus.  The St. Bonaventure University Fitness center, a 5 minute drive from the main campus, houses 4 indoor hard courts that the team uses for practices and matches throughout the year.  Practice for the fall season generally starts at the start of school in late August and practice concludes with the fall season in or around the final week of October.  The spring season starts after Christmas vacation in January and ends with the Atlantic 10 Championships in April.

The Boser Varsity Weight Room is used by all members of the team.  Each member of the team is given their own personal strength and conditioning program and the program is conducted under the supervision of the on-site strength and conditioning coaching staff.  Team members have in-season and out-of season workouts.

The St. Bonaventure University Sports Medicine department oversees the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of all athletic-related injuries.
