10 NCAA Division III men's tennis programs in California: rosters of 11 to 14, no athletic aid, $2,283 a player in spending

Every NCAA Division III men's tennis program in California, in one list, 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.

Half of these 10 programs carry between 11 and 14 players, with 13 the midpoint, against an NCAA Division III median of 12. None of these schools reported athletically related aid, as Division III rules require; help with cost at this level is academic or need-based. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $2,283 per player at the median in 2025, 19% above the NCAA Division III median of $1,918.

Frequently asked

How many NCAA Division III men's tennis programs are there in California?

10, 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 an NCAA Division III men's tennis program in California carry?

13 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 11 and 14. The NCAA Division III median nationally is 12. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.

Which NCAA Division III men's tennis programs in California give athletic aid?

None of the 10 schools reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. 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. NCAA Division III programs do not award athletic scholarships; aid at this level is academic and need-based.

How much do NCAA Division III men's tennis programs in California spend per player?

$2,283 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). That is 19% above the NCAA Division III median of $1,918. The middle half of programs ran from $1,885 to $2,970.
