Men’s Tennis

MONTANA GRIZZLY SCHOLARSHIP ASSOCIATION

Dear Griz Nation:

Your Grizzly Men’s Tennis team has quietly been one of the most consistently successful programs over the last 15 years here at UM.

This program has 5 appearances in the Big Sky Conference finals in the last decade and is coming off of a 2022 season in which it was nationally ranked for the very first time in school history along with being the very last undefeated team in Division 1 that season, a feat that has never been close to happening by anyone else in our conference’s history.

Men’s Tennis also just won the overall team academic award in athletics for the 5th consecutive year carrying a cumulative 3.75 GPA.  These are STUDENT-athletes from all over the globe who need your support more than ever.

Trying to compete on a national level in tennis here at Montana has a huge set of obstacles built in that we are trying our best to overcome but we cannot do it without your support.

We are the only program in the conference without either a paid assistant coach or our own indoor facility to practice at.  There are extra insurance costs for international students and cost of attendance issues for these athletes as well that we need constant help in trying to provide the very best college experience for them.  The support we receive now will go directly to funding these student-athlete’s education and provide them with a chance to compete on an even basis with the other teams in the Big Sky.  We have had an amazing culture of success here that continues on after graduation as well and as a team we want to continue to be able to bring in the highest quality to people to compete in the maroon and silver and do Griz Nation proud on and off the court.

Go Griz!

What is my gift used for?

Donations in support of the Men’s Tennis program go directly into Coach Brown’s discretionary fund, where he is able to use it for areas of greatest need. Areas include:

  • Summer School – allowing our team to spend the summer in Missoula training and growing as a team.
  • Team Travel – Allowing our team to fly to events rather than bus.
  • Player Nutrition – giving our athletes the fuel necessary to maximize their training.
  • Recruiting – looking for the next impactful addition to our program and having flexibility with our recruiting budget makes all the difference.
  • Capital Projects – improving facilities that will directly impact the Men’s Tennis program.
