Enter them in tournaments, local and national. It helps that they get high ranking in their age-group. It's gonna take a lot of time and money to take them all over but if that's what they love, go for it. Our club owner's daughter got a tennis scholarship. That's what they did. Goodluck!What are the best tennis raquets out there and which ones are the best?
well when your kids get to high school they can try out for the team and then when they are senoirs you can contactsa a collage to do some scouting, then if they do a exceptional job then they can get accepted to collage on a full scoalship, but good luckYou can not get your sons scholarships. You have to have a scout or someone to see if they are good enough to even recieve a scholarship; parental opinions have no merit in such desicions.

How wonderful to have "three" talented tennis players in one family---and unusual too. Someone other than parents need to decide if their talented and to what extent. Many young people enjoy playing tennis and may be good at it but that doesn't mean their scholarship material. Their are a limited number of tennis scholarships available. Perhaps one of the kids has the ability and potential. The others may have gifts, skills and talents in other areas that should be explored. It's unusual for all children in one family to share the same interests..except the Jackson Family, the Osmond family etc. etc. Often times over zelous parents push children in areas that the child isn't that interested in and children wanting to please their parents go along with it---for awhile.If they are that good and can get in the top 30 nationally , the Schools will knock your door down. Davis cup for the US or some bust out country like Zambia?

I love tennis. But the big difference between Socialism and our form of Democracy is that under Socialism the government plans and pays; under Democracy the individual pays. Obviously that means weaker sports teams; but that's the system. Since we have a private sports system that relies on private donations, it tends to be hapless.All the big tennis manufacturers have junior programs which give free racquets, bags, clothes, anbd shoes to promising juniors. Contact a local tennis shop or call Wilson / Head / Prince / Volkl / Babolat. You can ge ta customer service number from the web.
I know that Bolleteri and JKST give scholarships to the most promising kids. It does not hurt a tennis instructional program to advertise that Agassi went there. Presumably others do also.
Depending where you live there are free programs. There are Ashe Youth Tennis Centers in several citiys. In San Diego there is something else whose name escapes me now.
Is Andre Agassi really 5'11"? He looks shorter.?
Check out the website below. They have an excellent college tennis section. Check out their financial aid links also. Hope that helps.you should look into getting them into local tourneys, if they start winning those they can move onto regional tourneys and eventually if they are good then national. then once they hit h.s. age, sign up up for their h.s. teams. from what i have seen at my college though (pac-10) the scholarships are reserved for international players, and the local ones still have to pay their own tuition and such. but if your kids can place at the national tournaments though they will probably elicit scholarship offers.
