<p>I was wondering about the UCI tennis team? how difficult is it to make the team, and whether they are still having tryouts so I can try? How about the club team?
Right now I am a biomedical engineer major and was wondering if I could manage tennis and get good grades! </p>
<p>Thanks for your help! :)</p>
<p>Are you a girl or a guy? One of my nieces is on the team. They did not get any new recruits this year and did lose a top player. How good are you? Are you ranked??? You need to be ranked quite high to make the team or you need to beat a bunch of people that are currently on the team. Contact the coach if you think it fits. It might be a good year to try and walk on.</p>
<p>As far as bioengineering and getting good grades, it might be tough. Division I tennis requires a great time commitment. My son was a highly ranked junior. He is a freshman at Cal this year as an Undeclared Engineering major. He decided to not play tennis because he doesn’t think he can do both well. He is currently adjusting to Cal and is thinking about doing Club Tennis at some point. It was not an easy decision for him. Everyone is different, but you don’t see many Division I players majoring in Engineering. Good luck.</p>
<p>I am a girl. Was your niece ranked high? I’m not ranked but I played Varsity tennis in high school for four years.</p>
<p>Thanks for your input. I think I might just try to play club or find some friends to play with for fun. :)</p>
<p>Yes, my niece was ranked very highly. If you aren’t nationally ranked, it’s going to be tough to make the team. Check out club tennis. It’s a fun way to stay competitive without the time requirement of Division I. Biomedical Engineering is a tough major. You will probably need to have plenty of time to study. Club tennis would be a good fit for you. Have fun in your first year. My niece loves UCI. :-)</p>
<p>How about intermedial tennis? I don’t want to join the team, but to still play tennis, preferably doubles, when I have free time in my hands. I’m not ranked, nor do I think I’m any good compared to college players.</p>
<p>Do you mean intramural tennis??? That’s a great option. Lot’s of fun!</p>
<p>Classes at the ARC are a way to meet partners.</p>
