7 NCAA Division I tennis programs in Missouri: rosters of 8 to 9, all with athletic aid, $8,356 a player in spending

Every NCAA Division I tennis program in Missouri, 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.

Rosters run close together across Missouri: half of these 7 programs carry 8 or 9 players. Every one of them is at a school that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $17,150 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $8,356 per player at the median in 2025; 1 of the 7 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 4 below and 2 in line with it.

Frequently asked

How many NCAA Division I tennis programs are there in Missouri?

7, 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 I tennis program in Missouri carry?

8 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 8 and 9. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.

Which NCAA Division I tennis programs in Missouri give athletic aid?

All 7 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $17,150 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. Programs at this level may award athletic scholarships, usually as partial awards spread across the roster in tennis.

How much do NCAA Division I tennis programs in Missouri spend per player?

$8,356 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, 1 spent above it and 4 below. The middle half of programs ran from $5,671 to $9,563.
