The USTA’s Tennis On Campus program is designed to provide college students with opportunities for team camaraderie, social networking, and rivaled competition through tennis without the rigors of a varsity program.  Perfect for athletes who have chosen not to make the jump from high school to college varsity, Tennis On Campus offers co-ed team-based play, regional and national championship competition, and helps students maintain active and healthy lifestyles through their college years.  Currently, the program is offered on over 500 college campuses and services over 30,000 students.  An overview of the program is provided below, or you can visit the Official Site of the USTA Tennis On Campus Program.

The USTA National Campus Championship is the pinnacle of the Tennis On Campus program.  Hosted in partnership by the USTA, National Intramural-Recreational Sports Association (NIRSA), World TeamTennis (WTT), and Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), this venue features 64 college and university co-ed teams competing for bragging rights and the illustrious title of National Champion.  Teams can qualify for a bid to the USTA National Campus Championship through participation in their USTA Campus Championship - Section Event or by applying for an at-large/first-come, first serve bid.

Each of the USTA’s 17 sections offers a USTA Campus Championship – Section Event in their respective region of the country.  Designed to provide a competitive play opportunity “closer to home,” these high quality events help pull teams together for a fun-filled weekend of coed team play, social networking, and leadership development.  Like the USTA National Campus Championship, the USTA Campus Championship – Section Events feature the World TeamTennis format.  Teams can gain entry to their respective event by contacting their USTA section’s Tennis On Campus Coordinator.

A variety of additional play opportunities are available for Tennis On Campus participants.  There are currently 15 Tennis On Campus Leagues and Series that offer both tournaments and match play.  In addition, there is a growing list of Other Tennis On Campus Events throughout the country, which are primarily student run club events, to help keep you and your teammates playing year round!

All across the country, college students are becoming a part of exciting co-ed tennis action that keeps their competitive fire burning and offers some serious fun, too!  If you played tennis on your high school team and miss the competition, or if you’re new to tennis and are just looking to meet some friends who share the same interest – this is it!
