NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion and the Folkes-Stevens Tennis Center have been selected to host the Division I Men's Tennis ITA Atlantic Super Regional from October 22-25, which consists of 32 singles players and 16 double tandems. The ITA Regional Championships feature some of the top players across the country.
"We are very excited to host the first ever Atlantic Super Regional at Old Dominion," said ODU head coach Dominik Mueller. "Leading up to hosting the C-USA Championships in the Spring, we can demonstrate our great hospitality and showcase the amazing facilities we have here at ODU. Welcoming the best 32 singles players and best 16 doubles teams in our region is special and I'm beyond excited that our guys will have the opportunity to qualify for Fall Nationals on our own courts."
Student-athletes from NCAA Division I compete across ITA Regional Championships around the country. Regional doubles champions and regional singles champions and finalists qualify for the season-ending Oracle ITA National Fall Championships.
Per the ITA:
"The ITA and the ITA Championships Subcommittee have worked on a "Reimagining of the Fall Season" over the last few months. As a result, the subcommittee along with the Division I Operating Committee, elected to move forward with a flexible approach to the 2021 ITA Regional Championships by allowing each individual region to determine what works best with a few mandated parameters. As the ITA Regional Championships are often the only opportunity for many member programs to compete in an ITA national or regional championship, one of those parameters is centered around providing increased playing opportunities to member schools. The other parameter is to encourage a reduction in travel expenses in light of budget cuts and travel concerns as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic."
