McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center
GPS Address: 705 S. Henry Street, Williamsburg, VA 23185
One of the top indoor facilities in the region, the McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center is the home of William & Mary men's and women's tennis. Located on South Henry Street adjacent to the graduate housing complex, the facility boasts impeccable tennis facilities, offices and locker rooms for both tennis programs, and houses the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Women's Tennis Hall of Fame.
The facility was made possible through a generous gift from Mark H. McCormack, a 1951 graduate of William & Mary, and his wife, world-class tennis professional Betsy Nagelsen. As the former chairman, president and chief executive officer of International Management Group, McCormack was widely recognized as the founder of the sports marketing industry. The company represents such athletes as Pete Sampras and Monica Seles.
The McCormack-Nagelsen Tennis Center features six indoor tennis courts using the GreenSet GrandPrix Surface (rubberized base under color coat), air conditioning and indirect lighting at a competitive level. The facility also includes member and team locker rooms, several spacious lobbies and spectator viewing that boasts 362 stadium seats as well as a mezzanine seating area. More recently, a new scoreboards have been added to both sides of the facility and cameras have been installed for the use of PlaySight for live video and practice film.
The Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Women's Tennis Hall of Fame contains a collection of artifacts and records pertaining to collegiate women's tennis, and enshrines former players, coaches and contributors that have impacted the sport. The Hall of Fame also functions as a library, archive and research center for intercollegiate women's tennis.
Along with serving as the regular-season home for Tribe Tennis, the facility has served as the inclement-weather host for the CAA Tennis Championships when they are held in Williamsburg.
