2024-2025 Tennis on Campus Season Brighter Than Ever
The 2024-2025 Tennis on Campus season is in full swing, and USTA Florida is eager to watch the program flourish. Despite the season being delayed until October due to a couple hurricanes that came through the state, the energy remains high. With over 15 schools across Florida actively participating, this is set to be one of the best Tennis on Campus seasons yet.
Tennis on Campus is collegiate club tennis, where school’s club teams in the state work with their USTA Section to play organized and competitive matches against one another. Many of the participating club teams host events throughout the season, creating exciting opportunities for competition and engagement. These tournaments are hosted monthly, sometimes more frequently, with points being earned each time.
As teams compete in various events, those accumulating the most points will earn the chance to represent USTA Florida at the prestigious Tennis on Campus National Championships. Additionally, USTA Florida will host the Tennis on Campus Sectional Championship at the USTA National Campus in Lake Nona on February 22 and 23. The winning team from the Sectional will receive an automatic bid to Nationals, further raising the stakes for this key competition.
USTA Florida’s involvement in this season is particularly focused on growth and expanding opportunities for players. One of the significant goals for 2024-2025 was securing an extra bid to the National Championships, a goal that has been achieved, meaning USTA Florida will now have 3 TOC teams at Nationals.
The organization is also investing more in its teams, allocating additional budget space to support teams attending sectionals and working on expanding the number of teams. There’s a focus on mentorship as well, with experienced team presidents offering guidance to help new clubs join the Tennis on Campus program.
USTA Florida is committed to creating pathways for passionate players to continue their involvement in tennis beyond campus competitions.
