25 NCAA Division II tennis programs in North Carolina: rosters of 7 to 14, all with athletic aid, $2,371 a player in spending
Every NCAA Division II tennis program in North Carolina, 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 vary widely: the middle half of these 25 programs carry anywhere from 7 to 14 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 $7,717 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $2,371 per player at the median in 2025; 6 of the 25 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 12 below and 7 in line with it.

Frequently asked
How many NCAA Division II tennis programs are there in North Carolina?
25, 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 II tennis program in North Carolina carry?
10 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 7 and 14. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.
Which NCAA Division II tennis programs in North Carolina give athletic aid?
All 25 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $7,717 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 II tennis programs in North Carolina spend per player?
$2,371 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, 6 spent above it and 12 below. The middle half of programs ran from $1,469 to $2,805.
