After an interruption of several years, Thiel College is reinstating the men's and women's tennis program for the 2010-2011 academic year. The Tomcats will compete in the Presidents' Athletic Conference (NCAA Division III).
This is great news for tennis in Greenville, PA and Mercer County!
In the last couple of years, the tennis courts (6 of them) at Thiel College have been neglected with tattered and torn nets. The College is planning to resurface the courts in the near future.
The Tennis Teams at Greenville High School have benefited tremendously over the years by having the tennis facilities at Thiel College. I have coached many players who grew up playing on these courts. In fact, some of the best players in recent Mercer County history (including the current captain of the Mercyhurst College Men's Tennis Team) obtained an early love for the game of tennis in part due to these tennis courts. Access to tennis courts is crucial for the growth of the sport.
