The best time to go to the USA with a sport scholarship is right after
graduation from high school or up to two years after. Only athletes ages
18 - 24 can compete within the college leagues. Any older and you will
be looking at competing in the NAIA. Coaches are increasingly committing
to younger athletes as this gives them the opportunity to work with the
athletes for a longer period of time. It is also possible to go to the
USA for one, two, three or four years it depends if you wish to seek a
bachelor degree from you time there. We would recommend going to America
as early as possible because this will give you the best chance of
gaining a sports scholarship and turning professional after college.
Athletic scholarships for
tennis can be achieved
if you are at the right level. For good
tennis players on the
level of the Division I the chances to receive a full scholarship are
relatively high if you know whom to contact. Generally a tennis athlete
who wants to gain a tennis scholarship will need a LTA ranking.
In order to gain the opportunities of your profile and thus receive
higher scholarship offers, it is important that you try to participate
more in national tournaments in the time prior to starting U.S college.
This will show college coaches that you are able to compete at a high
level
If you are competing at national level then you have a great chance of
receiving a 100% sports scholarship. Coaches will also look at an
athlete’s potential, it’s a vital aspect, as coaches know from
experience that even moderate athletic performance can be boosted
immensely with their intensive training methods. A college recruitment
coach will look at a sport CV or the athlete, photographs, video and our
staff advice regarding the athlete’s ability.

Tennis training on a tennis scholarship
If you gain a tennis scholarship you will be expected to practice with
the team for around 3-5 hours a day 5 times a week. This would just
consist of tennis training and then you would still be expected to take
part in additional strength and conditioning training. If you feel you
are currently lacking strength in muscle and size then don’t worry.

university.
