College tennis programs · Alabama
46 college tennis programs in Alabama: rosters of 8 to 12, 44 with athletic aid, $3,308 a player in spending
Every college tennis program in Alabama, in one list: NCAA Division I, II and III, NAIA and junior college, not only the programs you have already heard of. The numbers beside each one come from the federal Equity in Athletics (EADA) survey and the College Scorecard: roster size, whether the school awards athletic aid, net price and admission rate. Each program links to its own page with the coaches, roster, spending and academics behind it.
For parents: this is the list to start from. Most athletes who could play in college are never seen because nobody knew the program existed. Seeing every option in a state, with real numbers beside each one, turns “where could my athlete play?” into a short list you can actually work.
High-school NIL in Alabama: Not allowed — Alabama high school athletes currently cannot accept NIL pay; the AHSAA amateur rule treats compensation tied to athletic identity as a loss of eligibility, and 2025 bills to change this have not passed. See all states
Rosters vary: the middle half of these 46 programs carry anywhere from 8 to 12 players. A smaller squad puts a recruit closer to the lineup; a larger one means more competition for spots and a deeper bench. 44 of the 46 are at schools that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $10,879 per athlete at the median across all sports; the other 2 reported none. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $3,308 per player at the median in 2025; 19 of the 46 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 25 below and 2 in line with it. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $1,355 to $7,513 per player.

How many players does a college tennis program in Alabama carry?
9 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 8 and 12. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.
Which college tennis programs in Alabama give athletic aid?
