USTA Mississippi is partnering with Pathley.ai to help simply parts of the college recruiting process.

Most junior players who want to play college tennis run into the same wall. They know they are goodenough to play somewhere. They have no idea where that somewhere is.

Pathley builds personalized recruiting plans for high school athletes, and it also runs a set of free tools that answer a lot of those questions on their own. We are pointing families toward it because between the two, it covers most of what a family needs to work through the recruiting process on their own.

Why we are recommending it
A lot of recruiting help is sold as an ongoing service with a monthly commitment, and that is not the right fit for every family. Pathley works differently. The free tools are open to anyone with no signup and no account, and the paid plan is a one time purchase you own rather than a subscription or a long term contract.

That matters most for players who do not already have a college coach in their orbit. If you are figuring out the process on your own, the hardest part is not the work. It is knowing which work to do.

Free tools

All of these are free, need no signup, and run inside Pathley.

• Roster analyzer: Analyze any NCAA or NAIA team roster. You get depth by position, who is graduating and in which class year, a three year forward outlook on where the program will need help.
• Coach email drafter: Gives you the right coach to contact at a program, including their name and email address, along with a first contact email written around your profile and that specific program.
• College search: Search programs across Division I, Division II, Division III, and NAIA, filtered by region, academics, and more.
• Athletic resume builder: Creates a shareable resume page and PDF you can send to coaches.
• Recruiting advice chat. Ask questions about the process and get answers specific to your situation.

If you want the full plan
For players who want the whole picture mapped out rather than assembled piece by piece, Pathley’s Recruiting Plan includes:

• A targeted school list. 20-25 programs selected for you and sorted into reach, target, and safety tiers, each with a short explanation of why it fits.
• A roster outlook at your position. Where players are graduating and where spots are actually opening up over the next few years, across every school on your list.
• A gap assessment. An honest read on where your profile currently sits against the level you are targeting, and what would need to close for the reach schools to become realistic.
• Cost information. What the schools on your list would actually cost, so the list is filtered by what your family can work with.
• Coach contact information. The right coach to email at each program, with their email address.
• Outreach templates you can send. Draft emails written around your profile and that specific program, plus follow up sequences.
• Guidance for parents. What your role in the process is, what to leave to the athlete, and what to expect at each stage.

Plans are built by Pathley’s system and reviewed by hand before they go out, and they are delivered within 24 hours.
