Upcoming College Tennis Showcases

Each year, there seem to be more and more opportunities for high-school-aged tennis players to get in front of college coaches in the form of showcases and combines. If your Junior Player wants to play tennis in college but doesn’t know how to get started with recruiting, these events can be a great tool. That said, like everything in the Junior Tennis Journey, there are multiple pathways available in the College Recruiting Process, and not all of them come at a financial cost, so please keep that in mind as you investigate options for your family!

Please note: The information below was provided by each company after I reached out to them asking for details on their 2020 offerings.

A few other thing people should be aware of:

The DTS Showcases are the longest running college tennis recruiting showcases in the world.
All of the DTS Showcases get many more applicants than available slots, with DTS consulting clients getting first priority, and remaining slots allocated based mostly on UTR rating and TRN ranking.
DTS events attract the most coaches of any showcase, with certain events attracting as many as 100 women’s and 80 men’s coaches from some of the most sought-after academic institutions and tennis programs in the country.

Singles Format

New for 2020. Players will be grouped into teams based on their UTR, and each participant will play three level-based singles matches against another team. For example, the top 8 UTR players will be put into the A pod and separated into two teams of 4. So if Team A1 defeats Team A2, then Team A1 will be a combine champion. We will do that with Pods B, C, D, and so on.

We started up the on-court drills with college coaches last year, and the feedback was outstanding so we decided to expand this to two mornings for two hours each. We will have the list of college coaches who are going to be helping later on. We also instituted an optional doubles day last year since so many wanted to get some doubles play in, and that went very well so we are bringing that back.

USTA Texas College Showcase

We now have a waiting list so the event is definitely growing. It’s a great opportunity for players and parents to get in front of coaches and learn more about the recruiting process as well as the day-to-day life of a student athlete. We had a panel of coaches from different divisions last year and it was very informative. We plan to add an athlete and maybe a TOC player to the panel this year as well.
