College Tennis Academy Award Program

In 2007, the YTF initiated its College Tennis Academy Award Program to assist high school varsity tennis players and USTA junior tournament level players ages 15-18, in obtaining college scholarships through attendance at the College Tennis Academy, at the University of South Florida, in December and June each year.

The College Tennis Academy includes on-court collegiate style drills and matchplay competition, college tennis search and scholarship information seminars, roundtable discussions with college coaches, hotel accommodations, meals and 24-hour adult supervision. The staff of the College Tennis Academy consists totally of current head men's and women's college tennis coaches.

Arrice Robinson, who is from Port Orange and Spruce Creek High School, and Cole Fiegel, who is from Alachua and attends Gainesville High School, are the recipients of the Youth Tennis Foundation's full scholarship awards to the Ed Krass College Tennis Exposure Camps for 2011. Both players are highly ranked in their age divisions and both hope to play tennis in college.

Arrice was recommended by her coach, Andy Bacha, and she elected to attend the June camp in Tampa. She raves about the experience in a letter she wrote to the YTF thanking us for awarding her the scholarship, a copy of which is shown below.
