Im a freshman who currently goes to a D1 school and could maybe (if I really tried) walk on the tennis team here. However, I want to transfer to a D3 school because of my major. However, I want to use tennis to my advantage in my application, is there any way to get recruited? I don’t have tennis history in the past 5 years because of an injury though.
I think it is very unlikely you’ll be able to find a coach interested if you haven’t played since you were 13 or 14 years old. The most you may get is an invitation to try out for the team if you do transfer.
You need to know how competitive the tennis teams are at D3 schools. Most only have 8 or so on the teams. The coaches are only allowed to ‘help’ one or two students per year through the admissions process.
