Blog: Growing Non-Varsity Athletes on Campus

I recently spent a weekend at the U.S. Tennis Association's Community Tennis Development Workshop. It's a three-day session devoted to growing the sport at the grassroots level. And while much of the focus was on the USTA's 10-and-under tennis initiative, another program, Tennis On Campus, deserves some of the spotlight. TOC offers students who aren't on their school's varsity team the opportunity to play competitive tennis.

The program is coed and team-based. It takes its lead from other student-run organizations, such as campus newspapers. Students set up their own practices, schedules and matches, keep track of their own scores, and so on. It's run through the school's recreation department, and does its own fundraising and public relations. (Information on how the program works is available here.)
