Hi there! Thanks for taking the time to help others! That's very kind of you. This is my first post. My DD received a USAFA congressional nomination late last year and her USAFA Prep School appointment last month.
Question: Following successful completion of the 10 month USAFAPS program, does she need ANOTHER nomination, or will her current nomination suffice/be recognized all the way through a subsequent Academy appointment?
Moreover, she's an excellent USTA competitor/tennis player with a decent ranking. What options or programs are available that would allow her to continue to play tennis at the PS and academy? Thank you!
She will need to reapply for another nomination next year, however if she applies for her nominations and does not get accepted there are other nominations available. Essentially, as long as you are qualified and receive an appointment to the academy following your year at the PS, there is nothing to worry about.
There are a few tennis players currently at the prep school. All of them were recruited tennis players and they practice tennis using the courts at the prep school and compete in local leagues and tournaments. Their coaches from the hill visit occasionally and at times the tennis players will head up to the academy and utilize the facilities.
