TEMPE, Ariz. – Arizona State University (ASU) and the Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA), the governing body for college tennis, announced a strategic alliance that will leverage the resources of a research-based University to grow the sport of tennis locally, nationally and globally.
The ITA will move its headquarters, currently located in Princeton, NJ, to the ASU Tempe campus. In addition to moving its headquarters, the ITA will work with Sun Devil Athletics to expand community outreach and accessibility, develop research-based initiatives, and create a new collegiate tennis model centered on advancing the sport.
“As the New American University, we are always looking for innovative ways to advance the experience of our student-athletes and the promotion of Olympic sports, and this alliance with the ITA is an opportunity to elevate Sun Devil tennis and grow the sport as a whole,” Vice President of University Athletics Ray Anderson said.
