About The Combine

The JMTA College Recruiting Combine gives prospects access to the country's top college coaches, and gives coaches in-person, "live", access to prospects, along with detailed tennis and ﬁtness performance reporting, to help them ﬁnd the right recruits for their programs. Match results from the Combine count toward prospects' Universal Tennis Ratings (UTR).

Prospects who apply for entry into the Combine are evaluated using a variety of criteria designed to confirm their likelihood of being actively recruited by the coaches in attendance. The Combine provides all participant players with a personal player portal that stores event information, match draws and scores, and fitness testing results. A college coaches' panel will be a weekend highlight for players and parents. Players will also take part in an exciting and informative Sports Vision Testing session run by one of the nation's experts in the world of Sports Vision.

Welcoming back for 2019, Tennis Analytics! Tennis Analytics will be recording all matches and will offer participant packages, including edited match videos with detailed analytics, and a custom video player that will allow you to quickly view matches and to share them with college coaches.
