The total number of high school varsity tennis players in the U.S. can fill six 50,000-seat football stadiums. But each year, only an amount equal to half of one of those stadiums goes on to play varsity college tennis. The majority stops playing tennis.
To keep these former high school players in the swing of things, the USTA National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association, Intercollegiate Tennis Association, and World Team Tennis have partnered to offer “Tennis On Campus.” Through this collaborative partnership, the program is gaining speed as it rolls into the spring semester.
The Tennis On Campus program features coed teams participating in intramural play and intercollegiate play on campuses nationwide. In addition, the USTA currently works with approximately 300 universities and colleges to create or improve their intramural or sport club tennis programs.
