Vision
The Dalhousie Tigers Tennis Team has built a tradition of excellence, earning eight AUTL championships and qualifying for Nationals five consecutive years (2022–2026). This season, both the women’s and men’s teams once again claimed the AUTL title and secured their place at Nationals in Montreal, May 28–31.
As we prepare to compete against the best university tennis programs in the country, we are striving not just to attend, but to contend for a national medal. To make that possible, the Tigers are raising $10,000 to support essential travel, accommodation and training expenses.
Your support ensures our student‑athletes have the resources they need to perform at their highest level and proudly represent Dalhousie University on the national stage.
Story
For several years, the Tigers Tennis Team has consistently ranked among the top four programs in Canada, qualifying for Nationals every season with both our men’s and women’s teams. Despite this sustained success, limited funding has increasingly restricted our access to practice time and made attending Nationals more challenging each year.
These constraints have made it difficult to bridge the final gap between being competitive and standing on the podium. With increased support, we can invest in proper training opportunities and fully fund our trip to Montreal. This will give our athletes the chance to compete on equal footing and bring home a national medal for Dalhousie!
Strategy
Funds raised will be carefully managed through close collaboration between the team captains, VP Finance, coaching staff and the Dalhousie Tigers sports coordinator. Together, we will ensure donations are allocated where they have the greatest impact, including:
- Travel to and from Montreal
- Accommodations during Nationals
- Coaching and team support
- Team apparel worn while representing Dalhousie
- Local transportation and training needs during the championship
Our goal is to maximize every dollar to best support our athletes’ preparation and performance.
Impact
Your donation will directly support the teams’ journey to Nationals. A significant portion of the funds will be used for flights, hotel accommodations, local transportation in Montreal and access to training courts in the lead‑up to the championship.
With your help, our athletes can focus on what matters most: training, competing and striving for excellence while proudly representing Dalhousie on the national stage.
