NYU seems to be tricking us into believing that we actually do have tennis courts on top of Coles; however, this is not the case. In fact, just the other day, a couple of my friends and I went to Coles to hit around, but the tennis courts were locked and there were no nets up. As a result, we asked a member of Coles staff about it, and he told us that the courts have not been used for a couple of years. He told us that we could play either in the gym from 7:30am to 9am where the volleyball team usually holds their practice or we could play at Chelsea Piers. What's a school without tennis courts! We pay $50,000 a year! What's the deal! Sign our petition- NYU for Tennis- and make tennis alive again at NYU!
I started this because I was frustrated by the lack of space but I never imagined so many people felt the exact same way. Reading your stories about trying to find a place to play has shown me that this is about so much more than just a few courts. I am currently working on a way to present these concerns to the administration and I am so grateful to have you behind me.

I am truly stunned by the way this has grown. It never occurred to me that so many other people felt the same frustration about our courts. This movement belongs entirely to the community that stepped up to say something.

Seriously? Chelsea Piers is way too expensive and out of the way. Coles is right there. Open it up.

I tried to go up there last week and got locked out too. Such a waste of space honestly.

Tennis used to be a staple here. Stop letting the courts turn into a graveyard. Get it together nyu.

7:30am is a joke. Nobody is trying to hit at that hour before class starts. GIVE US OUR SPACE BACK.

Ridiculous. We pay way too much tuition for facilities that are basically just non-existent. Fix the roof courts immediately.
