Getting to Wallach Tennis Center
The Wallach Tennis Center is located near the corner of Russell Street and Central Avenue. Parking will be available at the Merrill Lot between the track and field complex and Merrill Gymnasium off Russell Street. From the lot, walk between Merrill Gymnasium and Underhill Arena.

Admission to the 2008 NCAA Division III Men’s Tennis Championships at Bates College is free of charge. Access to courts will be limited to athletes either in a match or warming up for a match and their coaches. All athletes and coaches should have credentials with them to get on the courts for their match.
Spectators will have access to all four sets stands and can be within two courts of any match during each day of competition, depending on seating availability.
Credentials will be issued for the observation deck, but authorization will be limited to event staff, media and photographers. For information on how to obtain a media or photo pass, please contact Andy Walter in the Bates College Sports Information Department either by e-mail at twalter@bates.edu, or by phone at (207) 786-6411. Teams bringing extra personnel (administrators, athletic trainers, SIDs, etc.) should also inform us so we can issue the correct number of credentials to each team.
