61 college tennis programs in Ohio: rosters of 7 to 12, 34 with athletic aid, $2,484 a player in spending
Every college tennis program in Ohio, 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.

Rosters vary: the middle half of these 61 programs carry anywhere from 7 to 12 players. A smaller squad puts a recruit closer to the lineup; a larger one means more competition for spots and a deeper bench. 34 of the 61 are at schools that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $10,678 per athlete at the median across all sports; the other 27 reported none. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $2,484 per player at the median in 2025; 22 of the 61 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 30 below and 9 in line with it. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $1,621 to $5,181 per player.

Frequently asked
How many college tennis programs are there in Ohio?
61, across NCAA D2, NCAA D3, NCAA D1, NAIA, 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 Ohio carry?
10 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 7 and 12. 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 Ohio give athletic aid?
34 of the 61 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender; 27 reported none. Among those that do, aid works out to about $10,678 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 Ohio spend per player?
$2,484 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, 22 spent above it and 30 below. The middle half of programs ran from $1,621 to $5,181.
