The Lady Paladin Tennis Club was created in 1987 as the booster club for Furman University women's tennis program. The need for the club became apparent to Coach Debbie Southern in order for her teams to travel outside of the southeast region and play a more national schedule. The club consists of many local tennis enthusiasts, parents of the program, alumni, corporate sponsors, and special friends of Furman Tennis.

The monies raised from memberships are used to enhance the opportunities of the program. For instance, a spring break trip each year for the team is funded by the booster club and allows student-athletes an attractive trip which helps with the recruiting process. In return, the members are notified of special team events and home match schedules.

"Our booster club has been a godsend to our tennis program. We have been afforded many more opportunities through the generosity of our membership," says coach Debbie Southern. "Attendance at our home matches has increased as well through the awareness of our program in the Greenville community."
