I have a son who is very much above average in intellect who does not care where he goes to school as long as he gets to play tennis. He has been accepted at various Division II Schools that are decent and received generous merit scholarship offers, but he says his choice will be based on whether he gets to play tennis or not. We would also need an athletic grant or athletic scholarship to afford these schools.

Does anyone know the procedure we would use to find out - before he decides on a college - whether he could be on the tennis team?? He is an above average player - number 1 on his high school team, but we don’t know for sure he is good enough to play at the college level. I am going crazy writing to busy coaches whom I know don’t have time to respond and do not respond. What do we do???
