Barton College Tennis has a storied tradition that has grown over 40 years! Known as Atlantic Christian College until 1990, the school has dominated the Southeast Region competition in both the NAIA (through 1992) and the NCAA Division II (1993-Present). Barton has won two National Championships, more than two dozen conference titles, and routinely participates in postseason play!

The Bulldog Tennis Complex, completed in 1998, is a state-of-the-art facility that features 12 beautiful hard courts, "California" rebound fencing, indirect halogen lighting on every court, and is located right on campus! There is elevated, partition bleacher seating for more than 500 spectators—it is quite simply one of the premiere collegiate tennis centers in the country! The school is also upgrading the support facilities as well, which will give us an academy-style atmosphere where the whole tennis community is involved.

Barton College competes in the NCAA Division II, with current membership in the prestigious 10-team Carolina-Virginia Athletics Conference. We are committed to being a national caliber program while operating within the letter and the policy of the NCAA and the CVAC. We are a member of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), competing in the Southern portion of the East Region. There are more than 20 schools within a three-hour drive of us, helping us eliminate long trips and missed classes!

Our schedule reflects our drive to be a national contender! Good players want and need strong opponents, and we play the top ranked schools in the region and nation. Past schedules have played the maximum number of contests and tournaments. It is a simple formula--to get to the top you have to play the best teams…Barton routinely plays 3-5 Division I schools each season, and we will have a slate of nationally and regionally ranked DII opponents to go with our tough CVAC matches. Get ready to play A LOT!

The fall season includes a full 8 weeks of intensive drill and individual skill work, and it is a time when you can upgrade your game by focusing on a troublesome shot or develop a weapon. We play 4 individual tournaments, including the ITA Southeastern Regional, which we host. We also concentrate on the strength and agility work during this time and carry it over through the spring. Spring features a schedule of more than 26 duel matches beginning in late January and continuing through May with the NCAAs!

There are more than 75 courts in Wilson, which has just under 40,000 people! Hard and Clay, the facilities here showcase tennis in what is known around the state as a "tennis town". Raleigh-Durham airport is less than an hour from the campus, and Raleigh itself can be reached in around 35 minutes. We are only 2 hours from the coast, with many accessible beaches to chose from. With a year-round tennis climate, and lighted courts, you can play here virtually everyday of the year!
