College Advisory Service
The complexities include the different recruiting, scholarship and financial aid award guidelines established by the three divisions of the NCAA, and by other groups of colleges and universities, including those in the NAIA and NJCAA. There are rules governing official and unofficial visits, likely letters, early reads, national letters of intent, early decision, early decision 2, regular decisions, gap years, the Academic Index, how and when to reach out to college coaches - and the list goes on. The good news is that there are more than 6,000 tennis scholarships available from colleges and universities in North America, and thousands more preferred admissions opportunities based on tennis recruiting. What’s more, SPORTIME/JMTA is here to assist!
With over 200 directors and coaches company-wide, most of whom played Division I college tennis, and some of whom were college coaches, SPORTIME/JMTA has unparalleled contacts within the collegiate coaching ranks. We use our contacts and our substantial experience in the college placement process to give SPORTIME/JMTA students an edge, as they determine the best colleges for them, procure scholarships and gain admission to the schools of their choice.
SPORTIME/JMTA is very proud to have developed hundreds of players who have received full or partial scholarships or upgrades to top colleges and universities, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton, Brown, Wharton, Wake Forest, University of North Carolina, UC Santa Barbara, Auburn, Tulane, Columbia, Louisiana State University, Elon, University of Connecticut, Middlebury College, and many more, a few of which scholarships have allowed JMTA students to “bank” all four years of full scholarship by attending and playing a minimum of one year. This format is designed for a student who feels ready to take a shot at the pro tour prior to completing four years of college, while assuring the opportunity and wherewithal to then go back and complete his/her education at any time in the future.
