Policies

The LEGACY Collegiate Pathway Team is designed to recognize, support, and develop outstanding players as they work toward their individual goals of playing college-level tennis.

This program provides student-athletes with the tools, mentorship, and opportunities needed to navigate the collegiate tennis landscape, whether through recruitment, scholarship opportunities, or skill development.

The selection of applications will be based on the discretion of the selection committee. Meeting all stated qualifications does not guarantee selection; likewise, applicants who may not meet all qualifications may still be considered.

Players who are selected are expected to attend the required events, practices and maintain good standing with the Collegiate Pathway Team both on and off the court. Failure to meet expectations of the team academically, athletically or behaviorally can lead to probation and eventual removal from the team.
