Pennington's goal as coach of the Majors'
tennis program is to instill a sense of team unity, have fun and strive
for the NCAA Division III Championships. The goal is to find talented
players who want to attend Millsaps for its academic benefits, rather
than an athletic grant and aid. Our students will be asked to represent
Millsaps with distinction and put forth their best effort needed to win.
Our team competition and practices fall
within
a 21-week calendar period mandated by the NCAA. Our schedule begins with
the ITA/Rolex regional tournament in the fall, ends with the NCAA National
Championships in May, and in between features 20 dual matches, an alumni
match, along with competing for the SCAC tournament championships.
