12 NJCAA (Junior College) men's tennis programs in Illinois: rosters of 7 to 9, all with athletic aid, $485 a player in spending
Every NJCAA (Junior College) men's tennis program in Illinois, 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 12 programs carry between 7 and 9 players, with 7 the midpoint, against an NJCAA (Junior College) median of 9. Every one of them is at a school that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $1,584 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $485 per player at the median in 2025, 59% below the NJCAA (Junior College) median of $1,187. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $270 to $1,405 per player.

Frequently asked
How many NJCAA (Junior College) men's tennis programs are there in Illinois?
12, 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 NJCAA (Junior College) men's tennis program in Illinois carry?
7 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 7 and 9. The NJCAA (Junior College) median nationally is 9. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.
Which NJCAA (Junior College) men's tennis programs in Illinois give athletic aid?
All 12 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $1,584 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. Two-year programs are a common route into a four-year team; junior-college eligibility rules are their own and worth checking with the coach.
How much do NJCAA (Junior College) men's tennis programs in Illinois spend per player?
$485 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 59% below the NJCAA (Junior College) median of $1,187. The middle half of programs ran from $270 to $1,405.
