We’re in! After a historic run in the 2023 season, the College of Coastal Georgia Mariners have earned a spot in the invitation only 2023 ITA NAIA National Men’s Team Indoor Championship! This tournament showcases eight of the top men’s NAIA tennis teams in the three-day tournament to crown an indoor national champion. Coastal Georgia secured its invite with a Top 10 ranking on the NAIA Coaches’ preseason poll, and also a school-best quarterfinal finish in the 2023 Outdoor NAIA National Tournament.
The Mariners are headed to Overland Park Racquet Club in Kansas City the weekend of Feb. 2-4, 2024, to compete for an Indoor National Title.
As you can imagine, the prestigious tournament is a fantastic opportunity for the College, but our tennis program and our student-athletes do not come without costs. We are seeking your help to give our amazing student-athletes this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
The estimated cost of sending our Men’s Tennis team to the ITA National Team Indoor Championships is just shy of $11,000. These costs include airfare, lodging, meals, transportation, and gear for the team. Please consider helping us with these costs so that we can reward the hard work this team has put in, and showcase them at Indoor Nationals before they begin their outdoor 2024 season.
“We are fortunate to have the opportunity to represent Coastal Georgia at the ITA Men’s Indoor National Championship this year. We had a great run at the NAIA National Tournament last year in Mobile, knocking off the #19 and #3 seeds to make it to the quarterfinals. To be recognized as one of the Top 8 programs in the country going into the start of the spring is quite an honor and a testament to how hard the team has worked to get the program back into the Top 10. We have five seniors on the roster, and I can’t think of a better way to kick off their final season and their time in the Golden Isles than a trip to Kansas to battle it out with seven of the NAIA’s elite tennis programs.”
