Enzo Heads to the USA
Enzo Aguiard is beginning a new chapter in tennis and life. He has accepted a scholarship with the University of Alabama a Division 1 College in the Southeastern Conference. Currently, Alabama have playing roster of 13, which are supported by three coaches, an athletic trainer and a strength and condition coach.
Alabama have a quality coaching staff and program the head coach George Husack has made great improvements since he started. Alabama has made the National finals over the last three seasons and, before the onset of Covid, was ranked 17th in the country. His commitment is to not stop here stating "My vision for this program is to be a championship contender, not only in the conference stage but also on a national stage".
The University of Alabama have a substantial sports and athletics program. You can find all sports with a simple google search and each has its own website, Facebook and Instagram pages.
Enzo has made great leaps with his tennis. In the last Australian ranking he jumped up a further 21 positions to No.73. In his last three tournaments he made the quarterfinal of the Vic Clay Court championships (loosing in 3 tight sets to the eventual runner up). Won the Mornington Gold over Easter and made the semifinal of the Vic Grass Court Championships (which he lost to the winner Dayne Kelly).
Enzo did not apply to University he was approached by the Alabama scouts last year and offered a position along with a full scholarship to study Management Information Systems over a four year period.
Outside of the college tennis season the coaches and players travel together to tournaments around the country. Enzo hopes to make the most of this opportunity and see if he can make his way into the futures tournaments.
Enzo leaves on June 17th and we here would like to wish him the very best in the USA.
