21 college tennis programs in Arkansas: rosters of 8 to 10, 17 with athletic aid, $3,023 a player in spending

Every college tennis program in Arkansas, 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 Arkansas: Not allowed — Most Arkansas high school athletes cannot take NIL deals under Arkansas Activities Association amateur rules; state law allows a narrow exception only for athletes who have signed with an in-state college. See all states

Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $3,023 per player at the median in 2025; 13 of the 21 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 5 below and 3 in line with it. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $1,812 to $11,079 per player.

Frequently asked

How many college tennis programs are there in Arkansas?

21, across NCAA D1, NCAA D2, NCAA D3, NAIA, NJCAA, 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 Arkansas carry?

9 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 8 and 10. 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 Arkansas give athletic aid?

17 of the 21 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender; 4 reported none. Among those that do, aid works out to about $8,842 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 Arkansas spend per player?

$3,023 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, 13 spent above it and 5 below. The middle half of programs ran from $1,812 to $11,079.
