The team played its home matches at the San Diego Sports Arena.

The Buds were founded in 1981 as the San Diego Friars, a namesake of the original team that played in World TeamTennis from 1975 through 1978.

World Team Tennis suspended operations after the 1978 season, and all the franchises were terminated.

The league restarted in 1981, under the new name TeamTennis with four new expansion franchises, one of which was the new Friars.
