Tennis has been part of the Gunn athletic program since 1925, giving generations of students the chance to compete against opponents from other top prep schools, including Taft, Westminster, Hopkins, Salisbury, and Avon. Matches are typically played on Wednesdays and Saturdays, and the level of competition consistently attracts tournament-level players.
The season runs a 16-match schedule beginning in March, with matches made up of six singles and three doubles. The team plays at home on eight courts — four lighted Har-Tru and four all-weather — and practices daily for an 90 minutes, developing individual skills and match play so every player is ready to compete in singles and doubles alike.
Above all, the program is built on a strong work ethic, team play, sportsmanship, academic excellence, and leadership — a commitment to excellence on and off the court. A JV program is also offered.
