FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What are these events about?
The USP College Tennis Winter Showcase gives participants exposure to college coaches from across the country who come to recruit players and offer athletic and academic scholarships. Coaches can take part live (in-person recruiting) and virtually during the Virtual Expo. This year the ITA Coaches Summit is held at the same venue on December 1.
Who can participate?
The Showcase is open to national and international players who are freshmen, sophomores, juniors or seniors in high school, recently graduated, or college transfer players. Note: players who have been out of high school for more than one year without attending college may not be eligible to play college tennis.
How many players can be recruited?
All attending coaches have one or more open spots on their teams and offer them to the right players at the Showcase. Historically, an average of 60% of participants receive some type of athletic and/or academic scholarship offer.
Is this event for U.S. players only?
No. It is an international event: players from across the U.S. and around the world take part.
What does an athletic scholarship cover?
Athletic scholarships can be full or partial, depending on what each coach has available and the level of player they are looking for. In most cases they are partial and cover all or part of tuition, books, room and board.
For which college entrance dates are coaches recruiting?
Most coaches recruit for their fall 2027, 2028 and 2029 classes.
How will I know a coach is interested in me?
If a coach approaches you during the Showcase, that is always a great sign. Many coaches prefer to follow up later: they all have your contact information from the moment you sign up. Don’t be shy about approaching any coach.
Which college coaches will attend?
USP invites more than 2,000 college coaches from all 50 states and every division: NCAA, NAIA and NJCAA. See the registered coaches as they confirm.
How do I register?
Click “Sign up” as a player or coach, create your account, choose the program and complete the enrollment form.
How can I secure my spot?
Your spot is secured once full payment is received. Capacity is limited.
Is there a deadline?
There is no formal deadline, but every year the Showcase sells out. We recommend registering as early as possible.
What is your cancellation policy?
All registration payments for the USP Showcase are final and strictly non-refundable. If the event is affected by inclement weather or other major circumstances (force majeure), the Showcase matches and event schedule will be rescheduled rather than refunded.
Can parents attend?
Yes, parents are welcome every day of the Showcase.
Can I train at the academy around the Showcase?
Yes. Emilio Sánchez Academy runs a UTR Training Camp from November 23 to December 6, with a daily rate for USP Showcase players. See training options ↗
