Do you know who has the ultimate college football entrance? Answer: @HokiesFB

Do you know who is locked in to host a @UTR_Sports_ $12.5k Pro Summer Slam event? @HokiesMTennis & @HokiesWTennis

July 31-August 3 in Blacksburg, VA

I’m actually jealous of all the players who get to drive around this great country 🇺🇸 all summer to COMPETE and make MONEY.

[James McKie @JamesMcKie_UTR]

Check the updated @UTR_Sports_ rankings!!

If your season is over, there may still be an AMAZING opportunity for you…

Our rankings determine selections for our annual NIT which is May 7-9. Incredible event allowing student-athletes to experience competing for a championship!

It’s time to celebrate our next senior, Matt!

Thank you for a great four years! Forever a Hokie 🙌

[James McKie @JamesMcKie_UTR]

Imagine having your mid to low lineup players play every Thursday-Sunday this summer in the US, get 50+ matches on college campuses whilst making money. Added bonus if on YOUR campus!

Question: Do you think they would improve and be ready for the fall? 🤔

Answer: Yes ✅

I wonder who started calling him that 🤔

[Tennessee Tennis @Vol_Tennis]

Most people like to call him Shun, but we like to say he’s HIMsui 🏹

REFLECTION:
Why do I love my new role at @UTR_Sports_ ?

In a period of uncertainty for non-revenue sports due to the current climate of college athletics, all this company does on a daily basis is try & help college tennis. How?

> On campus tournaments & program revenue growth via college circuits.
> The NIT - keeps the post season alive for hundreds of student-athletes across the country.
> Access to the highest quality streaming of PTT matches via @PrimeVideo for fans & families across the globe.
> Program revenue growth via camps.
> Program recruiting assistance via collegiate showcases worldwide.
> Potential NIL & budget support via PTT.
> BNP collegiate tournament at Indian Wells ft. four top DI programs.
> $200k Hurd Awards to one male/female player each year.

PTT Tour Card Points Race has been updated through 2 weeks 🙌

New this year, players on the UTR Pro Tennis Tour are competing in a yearlong points race where the top 100 players from each gender earn an additional $500 to $10k on top of their prize money from events💰

[James McKie @JamesMcKie_UTR]

Why are you so many schools hosting @UTR_Sports_ PTT events in 2025?

1️⃣ It’s cheaper than taking your team to a tournament
2️⃣ You get triple as many matches & it doesn’t count as a date (if your whole team enters you get over 55 matches)
3️⃣ Players guaranteed prize money (yes guaranteed)
4️⃣ Encourage recruits to play (recruit from home!!)
5️⃣ Limit travel (yes please)
6️⃣ UTR handle EVERYTHING. As a coach, you open the gates, relax & watch your players compete :)

Weeks are going FAST! We currently have openings in May & June - get on board now!
