The Showcase

High-level competition. Maximum exposure.

Coaches attend from NCAA I, II, III, NAIA and NJCAA programs. Student-athletes come from across the U.S. and overseas to play in front of them and meet them one-on-one.

The concept

What is a Showcase?

A showcase is much more than just a series of matches; it’s a unique opportunity for you to demonstrate your skills in front of college coaches from across the country.

Unlike traditional tournaments, showcases are open events that welcome players of all levels, providing everyone the chance to make an impact. College Showcases are potentially life-changing events.

Why participate?

  1. Direct exposure to college coaches

    Interact face-to-face with over 100 college coaches eager to discover new talent. This is your chance to impress them with your skills and personality!

  2. Competitive match play

    Engage in two days of UTR-verified matches that simulate the collegiate tennis experience, helping you to understand the intensity and expectations of college-level competition.

  3. Team format

    Compete as part of a team, fostering camaraderie and giving you a taste of what it feels like to represent a college program. Coaches will evaluate your performance in this dynamic setting.

  4. Recruiting opportunities

    Attend our College Expo, where you can ask questions, gather insights, and form valuable connections with coaches that could shape your future in college tennis.

  5. Comprehensive experience

Important tips

How to make the most of the Showcase

Showcases are one part of your recruiting plan. Keep communicating with coaches, playing tournaments and sending videos.

Relax and take your time to find your game. You will play for two days in front of coaches: don’t try to over-impress.

You are being evaluated on and off the court. Act professionally.

Pay attention to small details: how you dress, what you say, your body language and your social media.

On court, don’t worry about which or how many coaches are watching. Focus on playing your best level that day.

Coaches can’t approach every player they like. Most will follow up later — they already have your contact information.

Don’t be shy: ask questions, start conversations and be yourself. Approach any coach you are interested in.

Understand the rules on player–coach contact (below).
