Other Excellence Program Opportunities
College Pathway Program
"Strengthening American Tennis from the community to college"

The College Pathway has been introduced to Excellence Teams, as we now support players ages 15-18, within the NJTL Excellence Program. The program has two annual events for this age group. The USTA All-American College Combine, presented by Adidas in collaboration with the USTA Collegiate Department, allows players to be nominated to participate in the combine that is attended by top college coaches from all divisions of college tennis. The College Pathways Training Camp provides an elite group of 16 Boys and Girls the opportunity to participate in training with USTA Player Development.
Individual Player Grants
The USTA Foundation Individual Player Identification Grant provides support to under-resourced players, ages 12-18, who are excelling academically (minimum 3.0 GPA) and in competitive tennis. To be considered for this opportunity, a player must be training and competing in tournaments year-round.
The USTA Foundation Individual Player Grant Application is now open. The deadline to submit a nomination is Friday, February 12, 2021, and recipient notifications will be emailed by Monday, March 1, 2021. For more information and to submit a nomination, please click here.
Coaching Education Grants (Opens in early 2021)
The USTA Foundation provides coaching education grants for elite coaches within the NJTL network to participate in the USA High-Performance Coaching Program and the USA Continuing Education Program. This program allows for NJTL coaches to receive continuing education for them to be able to provide the highest level of tennis instruction to their home programs.
