The newly-renovated Live Oaks Tennis Courts at Southern Arkansas University have open hours each day for the campus and community to enjoy.
The open play schedule includes 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to midnight Monday through Friday, as well as 7 a.m. to midnight Saturday and Sunday.
Times are subject to change, and SAU events take priority in scheduling.
The complex is located adjacent to and behind the W.T. Watson Center and the Aquatic Center.
The championship court was named in honor of Oliver M. Clegg, who graduated from Magnolia High School and received his degree from Magnolia A&M (now SAU) in 1938.
The revived men’s and women’s tennis programs join the 12 other Mulerider Athletic sports programs, which compete in the NCAA Division II Great American Conference.
Athletic Director Steve Browning said SAU remains dedicated to elevating the success of Mulerider Athletics, and that tennis will contribute to that goal.
Tennis has a long history at SAU with a combined 15 conference championships and over 100 all-conference players between the men’s and women’s programs. The men’s team sat atop the AIC in the 1980s with seven conference titles.
