The Kimball Union Academy girls' varsity tennis team competes in the Lakes Region League, facing schools within the New England Prep School Athletic Conference (NEPSAC). The season kicks off in March with practices and challenge matches, and the team plays 1-3 matches per week throughout the spring.
KUA tennis emphasizes developing the fitness, skills, and strategies needed to thrive in a highly competitive league. Beyond the technical aspects, the program focuses on individual growth, sportsmanship, and teamwork, fostering a supportive environment where players can excel both on and off the court.
The goal of the KUA Tennis Program is to instill a lifelong love of the sport while preparing student-athletes for challenges in tennis and beyond. Whether competing in matches or building camaraderie with teammates, players leave the program with strong fundamentals, a competitive spirit, and lasting memories.

It was a gorgeous, sunny day for our senior day match vs. Northfield Mount Hermon at the KUA tennis courts! The team made posters for all of our seniors yesterday, and we hung them up on the fence. Everyone played super hard and gave their best effort against the excellent NMH team. While we did not come away with a team victory, I am very proud of the positivity, effort, and poise every player showed out there on the courts. It was wonderful to see all of our seniors out there playing scored matches: Ali, Tougy, Piper, Mia D., Mia W., Mary, and Liv. A big thank you to our senior manager, Lucy, for all of her help! After the match, we had a lovely little celebration in the lounge next to Doe with lemonade, snacks, and Katie's cookies! Thank you so much to all of the families for coming out to support, for bringing yummy snacks, and for gifting gorgeous flower arrangements to our seniors. I can't wait to finish out this fun season with you all!
It was a chilly day for a match, but we had a fun time at St. Paul's School! Adde brought home a singles match victory, and Ali, Piper, Mary, Clairette, and Shoshi all fought hard in their singles matches. The doubles was fun to watch; I saw a lot of great strategy happening, especially with players keeping the ball away from the opposing net player and trying out lobs. Thanks for your great effort and attitude, team!
It was a gorgeous, sunny day here on the Hilltop, with a bit of wind to make things interesting on the tennis courts! We were happy to get out there and play a match with VA before the long weekend. Big congratulations to Piper, Shoshi, and Hailey for securing victories in their singles matches! Clairette and Shoshi teamed up to win their doubles match, too! Thank you to all players for playing up and for bringing great energy today. Wishing you all a restful weekend!
