The United States Tennis Association (USTA) announced the field of 64 coed intramural and club tennis teams that have qualified to represent colleges and universities across the country in the 2017 USTA Tennis On Campus National Championship. The annual event will be played at the USTA National Campus at Lake Nona in Orlando, Fla., April 13-15.

The USTA Tennis On Campus program features more than 35,000 college students competing nationwide in intramural and intercollegiate coed club play. Since its inception in 2000, Tennis On Campus has grown significantly and today is played on more than 700 college campuses.

“The USTA Tennis On Campus National Championship is the premier recreational college tennis event in the country,” said Newlyn Wing, National Coordinator, USTA Tennis On Campus. “Tennis On Campus provides student-athletes with the unique combination of team competition in a fun, social environment. The National Championship is the culmination of these players’ hard work and allows them to represent their universities on a national stage.”

This year, seven schools will make their debut at Nationals in a field that also includes defending national champion Auburn University and the hometown University of Central Florida.

Teams participating in the Tennis On Campus National Championship have advanced through USTA section championship play or received automatic bids by winning at the Tennis On Campus Fall or Spring Invitational.

With year-round match play and regional and national championship competition, students maintain active and healthy lifestyles through their college years.
