TENNIS ACADEMY ACADEMICS
COLLEGE PLACEMENT
The ultimate goal for many young athletes is to receive partial to full athletic scholarships. At Van Der Meer Tennis Academy, we strive to build life champions in the classroom as well as on the court. Our players are encouraged to commit to a rigorous scholastic program so that outstanding tennis performance is coupled with strong academics. Most of our past players have earned the title Scholar Athlete and received scholarships to prestigious universities. Whether interested in attending an Ivy League College, playing Division I Tennis, or beginning at a Junior College level, Van Der Meer coaches assist players so that dreams come true
The college selection process begins in earnest junior year when Van Der Meer coaches work in collaboration with the players and their high school guidance counselors. We have a booklet prepared for each student outlining what to expect, and conduct periodic meetings to make sure everyone is on target. As senior year progresses, coaches are contacted, videos are uploaded to YouTube and visits are arranged. Many coaches make visits to the academy throughout the school year for recruiting purposes as well.
