The ITA Summer Circuit, which began in 1993, provides college tennis players, along with junior players and alumni, the opportunity to compete in organized events during the summer months. All of the 2016 ITA Summer Circuit events are held on college campuses.
In total, the 2016 ITA Summer Circuit features 51 tournaments spread across 24 different states. This year's summer circuit began in June and wraps up this week with nine qualifying events throughout the country.
