For Tennis Parents by a Tennis Parent

I’ve added and shared several articles and podcasts related to the college recruiting process and figured it might be easier for my readers if I put all this information into one post. In the following bulleted lists, you will find links to some information on choosing a college tennis program, collegiate exposure camps, college recruitment camps, and what to look for in a college coach.

You should also take a look at our Recruiting & College Tennis category page for a complete listing of articles and pertinent information.

While most of the links are for original ParentingAces content, some lead to outside sources as well. Please read and listen and educate yourself as best you can. The college recruiting process is complicated and can be riddled with potholes, so be sure you are well-armed before you jump in!
