How do I market myself to college tennis programs?
  • Most Division I coaches use USTA rankings in order to develop their recruiting lists.
  • Any player who does not have USTA experience should play in the summer between junior and senior years.
  • The move to Division II and Division III is quite dramatic, so USTA experience may not be necessary for those levels.
  • A student should send a letter of inquiry to a coach early in the Fall of junior year. The letter should include:
    • Academic credentials.
    • USTA ranking and tournament experience (if he is not USTA ranked, indicate ranked players who you have defeated).
    • High School schedule and student tournament schedule.
    • An athletic resume.
  • Some key programs for area students are the New England Showcase Day and USTA sponsored events in New York and the northeast.
