Wesleyan tennis programs upgrade facilities

BUCKHANNON — The West Virginia Wesleyan College tennis program has made some new additions to its facilities thanks to two incredibly generous donors.

The program added a second indoor court and a new electronic scoreboard was added to the outdoor courts at Wood Street.

“We cannot thank our donors enough,” said fourth year head coach Kyle Hoffman. “These past three years have been a full circle moment and I couldn’t be prouder of our programs combining for 27 victories last season and, most importantly, we continue to maintain our ITA All-Academic status for both men’s and women’s teams.”

If you have an interest in helping with a particular project or if you want to engage with the program, email Coach Hoffman at hoffman.k@wvwc.edu. The tennis program donation link is https://ssl.charityweb.net/wvwc/tennis.htm.
