BUCS

• BUCS - INVITE ONLY: This exclusive section is reserved for players who have received an invitation. Participation in BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) typically requires a competitive level of play and previous achievements in tennis.

 

Our top level of membership represents the pinnacle of tennis at Bristol. Players have access to 3 trainings every week within their membership, will represent Bristol in the BUCS leagues and have access to professional strength and conditioning training to ensure peak performance. We have a squad of 32 players; 16 men and 16 women.

​

You need to have a WTN in the following range (or international equivalent):

Men: 0-28
Women: 0-32

BUCS Requirements: BUCS players are required to on court train 3 x a week (Mon/Tues evening and Sunday afternoon), S and C 2x a week, BUCS matches are played on Wednesdays (all day) and National Premier League matches (1st / 2nd team) on Sundays.

 

Please only sign up to trial if this is the level of training and competition that you would like to participate in at University.

​

To be considered for any BUCS team a players competition history in LTA sanctioned events will be looked at. A guideline is that any BUCS player would be expected to have competed in minimum Grade 4 level competitions.

 

Doubles play is another big consideration for BUCS selection. Doubles competition history will be considered as well as tactical understanding that will be assessed at trials.

 

If you meet the above WTN criteria and are interested in joining email our head coach Ali Blackett at ali.blackett@bristol.ac.uk.
