A new inflatable dome over the Sports Centre tennis courts was officially unveiled on Friday. The ambitious new project means that three of the six tennis courts will permanently be covered during the Autumn and Spring terms.
The university spent over £100,000 on the new structure in a bid to promote participation in the sport during winter. Head of Sport Keith Morris said: “Thanks to the dome, we will be able to run a more sustainable programme of activities. Players at all levels, from both the local community and University, will be able to enjoy tennis all year round.”
York Sport President Cass Brown told Vision: “The new tennis dome is an excellent addition to the York sport landscape. The appointing of a full time university tennis coordinator last week will do wonders for tennis at York.”
