4 NAIA women's tennis programs in Ohio: rosters of 6, all with athletic aid, $2,052 a player in spending
Every NAIA women's tennis program in Ohio, 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 Ohio: half of these 4 programs carry 6 players, against an NAIA median of 9. Every one of them is at a school that reported athletic aid for the team's gender, about $6,632 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $2,052 per player at the median in 2025, in line with the NAIA median of $1,900. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $920 to $3,122 per player.

Frequently asked
How many NAIA women's tennis programs are there in Ohio?
4, 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 NAIA women's tennis program in Ohio carry?
6 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 6 and 6. The NAIA 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 NAIA women's tennis programs in Ohio give athletic aid?
All 4 are at schools that reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. Among those that do, aid works out to about $6,632 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. NAIA programs may award athletic scholarships, and NAIA eligibility rules differ from the NCAA’s.
How much do NAIA women's tennis programs in Ohio spend per player?
$2,052 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 in line with the NAIA median of $1,900. The middle half of programs ran from $920 to $3,122.
