The Goodfriend Indoor Tennis Center houses all operations for men's and women's tennis at the University of Tennessee.
Tennessee's tennis student-athletes are fortunate to call one of the nation's most impressive collegiate indoor facilities home.
Opened in 1997, the Goodfriend Tennis Complex is home to Tennessee's men's and women's tennis squads. The four-court indoor facility plays host to all UT indoor matches and gives the Vols a winter home and a way to contiunue competition or practice in the event of inclement weather. The Goodfriend Tennis Complex is the first of its kind on the UT campus.
Following the 1998 season, Tennessee moved all tennis operations into the the Goodfriend Center. The new "Home of the Vols" boasts four courts, a capacity for 500 fans, a reception area and a concession stand.
For the coaches and players, the facility also features new locker rooms, a team room and coaches' offices for the daily use of the UT Tennis programs.
The Goodfriend Tennis Center hosted the 1998 SEC Indoor Championships and has played host to UT's annual O'Charley's Tennis Classic since 1998.
