Donations may be dropped off the day of the Expo. Although we are not responsible for enforcing the NCAA rules, the tournament is aware that NCAA rules govern the recruitment process. We are taking the following steps to promote compliance: - The Expo is being held at a site other than the host facility for the USTA National Boys’ 18 & 16 Clay Court Championships.
- Only the Boys that have represented to us that they have not yet signed a letter of intent with another college and have completed their junior year of high school will be allowed to enter the Expo.
- At the tournament registration desk, players are asked to finish their participation in the College Coaches’ Expo before registering for the Clay Courts and commencing participation in the event. Please also note that all tournament materials will emphasize the importance of attending the Expo prior to registering.
At each table we will display a sign with the name of your institution. All players and coaches who participate in the Expo will receive a nametag. Upon checking in at the Expo, you will receive a packet containing draw sheets, player lists (name and home town) and local maps. Updated draw sheets will be available daily at the Woodmont Country Club and will also be available on the website. The tournament information packet is mailed in late July to coaches for $45. The player's name, address, birth date, high school, graduation year, and phone number will be included in the mailing lists (Boys' 16 & 18 Divisions). The final draw sheet (Singles, Doubles, and Feed-In) will be included in the package. This packet is included at a discount as part of the fee if you attend the Expo. | RECEPTION FOR COACHES AND PARENTS | The tournament will host a reception for all visiting coaches and parents on Wednesday evening at a private residence.
