The Pacific Northwest Tennis On Campus League is kicked-off each year with the USTA Campus Sectionals Championship held in Beaverton, Oregon at Tualatin Hills Tennis Center. Teams then compete against each other throughout the academic year in club-run tournaments or head-to-head matches. At the end of the season we hold a social end of the season World Team Tennis tournament where club alumni are invited back to play with current club members. The first PNW Alumni Cup was held at University of Washington's Nordstrom's Tennis Center where 16 teams were made up of 130 players, 50 of which were alumni players. We currently have 11 universities that compete in the TOC PNW league each year. They are as follows,

"Tennis is a lifelong sport and the TOC Alumni tournament was able to bring players from all ages together to show just that. It was an amazing opportunity to get to reconnect with graduates from OSU and throughout the PNW. It's events like these that allow each university tennis club to feel like part of a greater community and to build connections for the future." - Anna Seydal, OSU Club President and Senior (‘17)
“I played on the Gonzaga University club team for 5 years and was excited about the opportunity to play in the alumni tournament. TOC has such an incredible community and continues to provide fun events, such as the alumni cup, that allows me to stay in touch with friends I have made from other teams. Tennis on campus was one of the best parts of my college experience and I feel fortunate to continue playing in such an awesome tennis community.” - Sarah Newman, Gonzaga Alumni (‘16)
“I, like many others, thought that the first annual PNW Alumni Cup was a success! I felt that the addition of alumni teams was most rewarding, as it allowed for a new field of competition and allowed for the "bridging of the gap" between current undergraduates and alumni, through tennis and open dialogue!” Brian Hou, Husky Tennis Club Treasurer and UW Sophomore (‘19)
