Cecil and Judi Eager Tennis Pavilion

ACU has one of the finest tennis facilities in NCAA Division II in the Eager Tennis Center, located just to the east of both Moody Coliseum and the Teague Special Events Center.

The facility features 10 courts, which have played host to numerous Lone Star Conference, NCAA Division II regional and high school tournaments.

In August 2001, the university announced that a new pavilion would be added to the facility and that it would be named for the most successful tennis coach in school history and his wife.  Construction on the Judi and Cecil Eager Tennis Pavilion began in fall 2001 and was completed in time for the fall 2002 season.  Eager served as the ACU men’s and women’s tennis coach for 12 years (1977-83 and 1986-90).

The new pavilion has covered seating (approximately 175 seats, including some chairback seating) and is located west of the four championship courts and next to the Teague Special Events Center.

In front of the six courts south of the main courts is a smaller covered grandstand.  In between the two pavilions is a viewing stand with benches.

In addition to the new pavilions, new championship court lighting was installed on the four main courts and recreational lighting was installed for the other six courts, making it possible for ACU to host the NCAA Division II national tournament.

Prior to the 2007-08 school year, each of the courts was re-surfaced and fencing around both sets of courts were covered in new wind screens.  The south courts were also extended to the east by 18 feet so that bleachers could be added between courts 3 and 4.

The ACU men’s and women’s tennis teams also have use of the three indoor courts inside the Teague Special Events Center.  The hard-court surface on the the indoor facility serves the Wildcats during the fall and early spring season.
