College tennis programs · South Dakota
6 college tennis programs in South Dakota: rosters of 9 to 17, all with athletic aid, $1,518 a player in spending
Every college tennis program in South Dakota, 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 widely: the middle half of these 6 programs carry anywhere from 9 to 17 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 $13,411 per athlete at the median across all sports. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $1,518 per player at the median in 2025; every one of the 6 programs with a comparable division median spent below it. The spread is wide: the middle half of programs spent from $775 to $2,261 per player.
