FAQ's
What are some of the highlights of your program?
Each year we play a 20-match schedule, the maximum for Division III. Our fall schedule is highlighted by a grass court tournament at the Tennis Hall of Fame (http://www.tennisfame.org) sponsored by Salve. Our spring pre-season practices are held indoors at the Tennis Hall of Fame. For Spring Break we travel to Hilton Head, South Carolina for training and match play. We return for conference play and our conference championships.
What is the team make-up and match format?
We carry 10-12 players per year. Although individual skill and playing experience vary, each player must be willing to work hard, improve their game and be a good teammate and representative of Salve. Matches are based on three doubles matches and six singles matches. Players can repeat in singles and doubles.
Are there athletic scholarships?
No. As a Division III member, Salve Regina only provides financial aid based on family need and academic success. Scholarships of $6,000 per year and higher are available for high school seniors who have combined SATs in excess of 1050 and class rank in the top 20%.
Where is Salve Regina located?
In Newport, Rhode Island (http://www.gonewport.com). Salve Regina's campus, on the world famous Cliff Walk overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, is annually ranked one of the most beautiful in the country.
