ABOUT ITA KICK-OFF:
 
The spring season of collegiate tennis shifts into full gear January 27-29 during the annual ITA Kick-Off Weekend. Sixty men’s and sixty women’s teams will be competing across the country for the right to qualify for the ITA National Team Indoor Championships to be hosted in February by Virginia on the men’s side and Yale on the women’s side. The 15 men’s and 15 women’s universities hosting ITA Kick-Off Weekend events were designated as host sites in order of their year-end 2016 ITA team ranking. Three visiting schools will travel to each host site for a four-team tournament. The host school will meet the No. 4 seed, the No. 2 seed will play the No. 3 seed, and the winners will come back to play for a berth at the ITA National Team Indoor Championships.
