Our Philosophy
Athletically
We want to pass on to you the experience we have gained as college tennis players in America. It is important to us to support you in all aspects of college tennis. Our expertise will be available to you even after your successful placement. We are happy to answer your questions about tournament planning, athletic training, and the jump to professional tennis. Our doors and knowledge are always open to you.
Academically
What should I study, which courses should I take, will my studies be recognized in Germany, and do I have to start right after high school? We asked ourselves all these questions before and during our college stay, and they gave us a headache. We will advise you on your personal choice of studies and courses and answer all relevant questions about the academic part of your studies. You can count on our support at any time.
Humanly
New experiences bring a lot of new and unfamiliar things with them. For any personal concerns and questions, we are here for you. Whether it's before you go to college, while you're there, or when you're back home. We have been through the process of living on our own for the first time, exploring foreign environments, and getting to know new people and cultures. We are always available to listen to you and are happy to share our initial concerns and difficulties and how we overcame them.
Together the next step.

About Us
Hi, I'm Jonas Hartenstein, a tennis player and founder of UServe. My journey started at Mississippi State University, later, I transferred to the University of North Florida, where I earned my bachelor's and master's degrees. My time as a college tennis player was one of my life's most formative and rewarding. But especially in my recruiting process, I wished I had someone to support and stand by me. That's why I've made it my mission to help young tennis players realize their dream of playing college tennis.
I look forward to helping you achieve your athletic and academic goals.

Together the next step!
