Cajun Courts has been the home of Louisiana's Ragin' Cajuns men's and women's tennis programs since 1975. The complex seats 1,200 fans.
Cajun Courts features a covered grandstand that provides fans with a shaded area to take in the exciting action of UL men's and women's tennis. The facility is also host to numerous fundraiser tournaments and local league championships.
One of the newest additions to the complex, the Culotta Tennis Center, was constructed prior to the start of the 2001 season. The center provides the team a lounge area for relaxation and down time, as well as a meeting area. The coaches' offices are also housed in the building.
In summer 2009, the playing surface at the facility received a total overhaul. Work crews removed the old surface, sandblasted the foundation for a more level playing surface and applied a new surface. The windscreens surrounding the courts were also refurbished.
Since 1975, Cajun Courts has been the home of the some greatest tennis teams in school history. The 2006 men's team captured 16 wins, a Sun Belt Conference championship and an NCAA Regionals appearance. The women's team recorded 14 wins and its first-ever national ranking in the same season.
The Ragin' Cajuns men's team won five Southland Conference Championships in six years (1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982) and Sun Belt Conference Championships in 1992 and 2006.
The women won a Southland Conference crown in 1986 and back-to-back American South Conference championships in 1990 and 1991.
In 1988, the Cajun men enjoyed the highest success of any tennis squad in school history. That team went 17-9 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. They finished the season No. 15 in the nation.
From 1978-1982, the Cajuns enjoyed a streak of five consecutive 20-win seasons. Four of those five seasons were conference championship seasons.
Cajun Courts has been the Ragin' Cajuns women's tennis program's only home since the inception of the program in 1976. The women have had 15 winning seasons, including six-straight winning seasons from 1990-1995.
