Why BYU Women's Tennis

FACILITIES 

The Cougars enjoy some of the finest tennis facilities in the country. A one million dollar renovation of the outdoor courts in 1995 gave BYU 14 fully lighted courts with full backdrops. The courts are set in banks of two or four for easy viewing. 

The four indoor courts have one of the best lighting systems in the country and cushioned chair-back seats for comfortable viewing. The facility has been the training grounds for over 30 All-Americans over the years. The indoor facility plays host to BYU home matches during the winter months and during inclement weather. 

COACHING STAFF

Holly Parkinson Hasler enters her first year as head coach for BYU women's tennis. Parkinson Hasler played for BYU in 1997, leading the team to a WAC Championship and eighth place finish in the final ITA national rankings. Parkinson Hasler was ranked 14th nationally in her freshman year and received ITA All-American and WAC Freshman of the Year honors. Following her first year, Parkinson Hasler turned professional where she won six ITF singles titles and played in all four grand slam events. Parkinson Hasler received her highest professional ranking at No. 83 in 2000. She also returned to BYU as an assistant coach from 2002-08, and in February 2017, she was inducted into the Utah Tennis Hall of Fame.
