Why BYU Men's Tennis?

FACILITIES

The Cougars enjoy some of the finest tennis facilities in the country. A $1 million renovation of the outdoor courts in 1995 gave BYU 14 fully lighted courts with full backdrops. The courts are set in banks of two or four for easy viewing.

The four indoor courts have one of the best lighting systems in the country and cushioned chair-back seats for comfortable viewing. The facility has been the training grounds for over 30 All-Americans over the years. The indoor facility plays host to BYU home matches during the winter months and in case of inclement weather.

COACHING STAFF 

The 2023-24 season will mark Coach Zack Warren's first year as head coach of the Cougars as BYU begins its inagural season as a Big 12 Conference member. Warren joins the program after having spent the previous nine years at Cal as Associate Head Coach of the women's team. There, he was a three-time regional assistant coach of the year (2022, 2021, 2015) and led the golden bears to a program-first national indoor title in 2016. Most recently, he helped Cal become back-to-back Pac-12 Conference champions for the first time in program history (2021 & 2022). He also mentored 15 athletes to All-American accolades while there. Warren returns to BYU having served as BYU Men's Tennis Assistant Coach from 2009-12 and a member of the men's tennis team from 2004-07.
