Lipscomb Racquet Club

Even professional tennis players have to "look up" to the Lipscomb Racquet Club. Why? Our club is located on the top of the West Parking Garage on Lipscomb University's campus.

The Lipscomb Racquet Club opened in April 2010 and houses the home courts for the Lipscomb Bison Men and Women Tennis Teams as well as the Lipscomb Academy High School and Middle School teams. In addition to collegiate competition, we believe that tennis is a great way for families to exercise together. We have beginner programs for both youth and adults, designed to teach the basics of tennis in a fun atmosphere. We also have clinics that help experience players gain that competitive edge.

A unique aspect of our club is the fitness component. Not only do we have pros that teach tennis, we also have professionals that can help improve your game and lifestyle with our fitness classes. We offer Cardio Tennis and Tennis Fit, both of which are designed to help improve your on-court movement, strength, and endurance.

Even more, if you wish to utilities your tennis skills in a different way, you can check out our Pickleball play. Pickleball is one of the fastest growing sports in America and once you play it, you'll be hooked. The Lipscomb Racquet Club is even home to the Pickleball Nashville Club. 

Finally, the Lipscomb Racquet Club is also the home works for the Green Hills YMCA. If you are a Green Hills YMCA member, then you can add tennis to your membership and receive discount rates for all clinics, priority to clinics, priority to court rentals and no court fees.

Whether you're a beginner or an experienced player, the Lipscomb Racquet Club's Adult Programs will help you improve your tennis game. Even more, we believe that fitness plays a major role in improving your tennis game. We offer several different fitness class options that boost your tennis game while simultaneously enhancing your health and wellness. 

We offer great league options as well. Here, you'll connect and compete with others who share a passion for the sport. 

Clinics are an hour and a half long. If there are less than four participants, clinics will run for only one hour. Participants will be offered make-ups for weather cancellations only.
