6 NCAA Division III tennis programs in Tennessee: rosters of 9 to 13, no athletic aid, $3,000 a player in spending

Every NCAA Division III tennis program in Tennessee, 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: the middle half of these 6 programs carry anywhere from 9 to 13 players. A smaller squad puts a recruit closer to the lineup; a larger one means more competition for spots and a deeper bench. None of these schools reported athletically related aid, as Division III rules require; help with cost at this level is academic or need-based. Day-to-day operating spending on the team ran $3,000 per player at the median in 2025; 5 of the 6 programs with a comparable division median spent above it, 1 below.

Frequently asked

How many NCAA Division III tennis programs are there in Tennessee?

6, 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 III tennis program in Tennessee carry?

11 at the midpoint; half the programs carry between 9 and 13. Roster size shapes playing time: fewer players means a recruit is closer to the lineup, more means deeper competition for spots.

Which NCAA Division III tennis programs in Tennessee give athletic aid?

None of the 6 schools reported athletically related aid for the team's gender. 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. NCAA Division III programs do not award athletic scholarships; aid at this level is academic and need-based.

How much do NCAA Division III tennis programs in Tennessee spend per player?

$3,000 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, 5 spent above it and 1 below. The middle half of programs ran from $2,577 to $4,034.
