18 college tennis programs in Arizona: rosters of 7 to 11, all with athletic aid, $2,346 a player in spending
Every college tennis program in Arizona, 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.

Rosters vary: the middle half of these 18 programs carry anywhere from 7 to 11 players. A smaller squad puts a recruit closer to the lineup; a larger one means more competition for spots and a deeper bench. Every one of them is at a school that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $13,985 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $2,346 per player at the median in 2025; 7 of the 18 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 7 below and 4 in line with it. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $656 to $14,302 per player.

Frequently asked
How many college tennis programs are there in Arizona?
18, across NAIA, NCAA D1, NJCAA, Independent, as of the most recent EADA survey. Level Field Combine tracks every NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA tennis program with a public page.
How many players does a college tennis program in Arizona carry?
8 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 7 and 11. 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 Arizona give athletic aid?
All 18 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $13,985 per athlete at the median. EADA reports aid by gender for the whole athletic department, not per team, so what a tennis award covers is a question for the coach.
How much do college tennis programs in Arizona spend per player?
$2,346 per player at the median in 2025, counting day-to-day operating costs such as travel, uniforms, equipment and game-day expenses (not coaching salaries or aid). Against each program's own division median, 7 spent above it and 7 below. The middle half of programs ran from $656 to $14,302.
