Tennis Card Templates
Free printable tennis card templates for USTA juniors, high school teams, college recruiting, club ladders, and weekend tournaments. The Position field accepts the format (Singles, Doubles, Mixed) plus rating (UTR 8.4, USTA 4.5, NTRP 4.0). 2.5″ × 3.5″ trading-card size, 3.5″ × 5″ keepsake, 9-up team sheets.
Tennis is the sport with the most-published rating system in youth athletics — UTR (Universal Tennis Rating) and USTA NTRP both sit prominently on every junior's profile. The cards put that rating front and center. College recruiters use UTR as the first-pass filter; high-school coaches use it for line placement; tournament directors use it for seeding. Use the Position field for format + rating ("Singles / UTR 9.2", "Doubles / 4.5 NTRP", "Mixed / 8.0 Combined").
Tournament weekends — USTA junior nationals, ITF events, sectionals, summer circuit — are heavy card-printing moments. College recruiting weekends (junior showcase, ITA showcase, Adidas Easter Bowl) are bigger. The card is the recruiting calling card.
What goes on a tennis recruiting card
Tennis recruiting is data-heavy. College coaches read fast — they're scanning hundreds of cards over a single weekend. A card that puts the right four numbers in the right four places gets a callback. From players, parents, and coaches who've worked the recruiting circuit:
- UTR is the first thing. Position field — "UTR 11.4" — comes first. Singles vs. Doubles UTR if relevant ("S 11.4 / D 10.8"). College coaches use UTR as the line-zero filter.
- USTA / NTRP secondary. Some sections still use NTRP (3.5 / 4.0 / 4.5 / 5.0). Younger juniors use age-section rankings ("Boys 16s — Sectional #4").
- Graduation year matters. Always include the recruiting class year in the position field or team field — "2027 Recruit" or "Class of 2027".
- Contact on the back. Re-feed the printed sheets and add email, phone, GPA / SAT, and home club on the back. College coaches expect double-sided.
- Photo from a match, not a portrait. Tennis at the small card size: serving stance, backhand follow-through, or fist-pump-after-the-point reads stronger than a posed portrait.
- Print 80+ for a national-level event. Easter Bowl, USTA Nationals, ITF Circuit events — every college coach who watches a match should leave with one. Stack of 80+ per kid per weekend is the typical baseline.
