K-State Women's Tennis plays in two different venues: the historic Ahearn fieldhouse for indoor matches, and the Washburn Tennis Facility for outdoor matches.

Ahearn Field House was the product of a 10-year drive by several people, most notably athletic director Mike Ahearn and head men's basketball coach Jack Gardner. The $2 million-dollar structure opened on Dec. 9, 1950, when the Wildcats defeated Utah State, 66-56. Today, many of the K-State varsity athletic offices are housed in the complex.

The venue is also one of America 's showplace indoor facilities. It houses the natatorium, indoor track, four tennis courts, K-State volleyball, and the Ward Haylett Track, making it one of the top indoor facilities in the Midwest .

Ahearn Field House is scheduled for $800,000 in improvements including lighting, track resurfacing and sports medicine upgrades.

Ahearn Fieldhouse is also the home to the K-State tennis locker rooms, which feature large locker and storage space, televisions, couches and lounge space.

The Wildcat tennis team plays all of its home outdoor tennis matches at the Washburn Tennis Facility, which is located near the K-State Recreation Complex on the KSU campus and features 10 lighted courts.

The Powercat Strength and Conditioning Program is designed to “build better athletes,” not to develop powerlifters, Olympic weightlifters or body-builders.

Obviously,when most people think of strength coaches, they think of weightlifting. Kansas State’s Vanier strength complex boasts two weight rooms, over 12,000 square feet of floor space, 35,000 lbs. of weights, plus platforms, racks, benches and machines. In 2006, the John L. Allen Strength Center was completed at Tointon Family Stadium adding another 1,500 square feet of weight room access.

Weight training is a big part of the program, but the strength and conditioning coaches at K-State do not coach weightlifters, it trains athletes. It’s all about being prepared to win on game day. Speed development, agility, flexibility, coordination, endurance and nutrition are some of the areas that fall under the umbrella of strength and conditioning.

Kansas State strives to develop the total athlete through a total body program. K-State employs nutrition counters in both strength facilities to “fuel the athletes” and equip them to meet the demands of training.
