Tennis in Evanston FAQ
We frequently get asked about details of playing tennis at Kellogg. Below are some frequent questions and their answers so everyone can get out on the courts.
Where are the closest courts to Jacobs? There are two options:outdoor and indoor courts.
Outdoor: Vandy Christie Tennis Center has 15 outdoor courts. There is no fee for playing on these courts and no reservations are necessary. The south six courts are gneerally used by the Northwestern varsity teams while the remaining nine are for general use. Located at 2310 Sheridan Road, these courst are located on the northwest corner of Noyes and Sheridan.
Indoor: SPAC (the NU gym further north of Jacobs) has 6 indoor courts. The fee is $10-$12 / court / hour and reservations, which can be booked up to a day in advance, are recommended as the courts are often used for team practice or lessons. The phone number for SPAC is (847) 491-4300. Also, there are free walk-ons every Tuesday and Thursday mornings and these courts are available first-come, first-serve if you prefer not to make a paid reservation. http://www.fitrec.northwestern.edu/facilities/crown/directions.html
Where can I get a racquet restrung or buy a racquet? The Kellogg Tennis Club officially endorses Your Advantage Tennis Shop as our preferred stringer. Your Advantage Tennis Shop in Northfield restrings racquets at competitive prices. The Club will make weekly trips as needed to the tennis shop to get your racquet restrung (every Wednesday). If you would like your racquet restrung, please bring it to a hitting session and we'll have it back to you by the next hitting session. Other alternatives include: SPAC offers racquet restringing ~$30 including the string and labor. Sports Authority (~5mi west on Dempster) restrings racquets for about the same price and also sells racquets and other equipment.
