NAU Men's Tennis served the Flagstaff and Arizona community through providing tennis instructions to youth, students and adults while growing the game of tennis in the state of Arizona in 2022-2023 season. We have partnered with FTA (Flagstaff Tennis Association) USTA Northern Arizona, USTA Southwest as well as PASS (Phoenix after school sports) and NAU CIE (Center for International Education) throughout the year.
