The college coaches won’t be very interested in your high school tennis since many junior tennis players don’t play high school tennis because the competition is too low. .

College coaches will ask you for your star rating, listed on tennisrecruiting website, and your UTR, listed on Universal Tennis website. The star ratings are determined based on USTA Tournament results, while the UTR is based off of both USTA and ITA tournament results.

You can research both sites to get a feel for the level of player a specific college usually recruits. The highly selective D3 schools are attracting more and more 5 stars: Chicago, Williams, Amherst, MIT, Emory, etc. all have a number of former junior 5 stars on their rosters.

I would recommend contacting coaches during your junior year of high school. Not all programs even hold tryouts for walk-ons.

Good luck!
