Tennis is one of the 10 most popular sports in high school in the U.S. and is rapidly gaining in popularity internationally. Many international players are now using scouting and recruiting services. As a result college coaches at NCAA and NAIA level are finding it easier to recruit foreign athletes. This makes it more difficult for good domestic players to get a scholarship at this level. Junior college’s are a very attractive option for good tennis players to be noticed by NCAA and NAIA coaches.

NJCAA tennis is played At Division I and III levels for both men and women. Athletic scholarships are only available to athletes in division I.

The NJCAA allows 8 scholarships per school. These are full-ride scholarships but individual schools can and do offer partial grants in aid. Top players of course will receive the best offers. There are 49 division 1 JUCO’s that offer athletic scholarships for men and 65 division 1 colleges that grant athletic scholarships to women.

Each college can only offer 8 scholarships in total, unlike the NCAA colleges cannot offer a greater number of at a lower percentage.
