About Old Dominion University 

At Old Dominion University we understand that there’s more to education than 

books and classrooms alone can provide. 

We are a versatile university, committed to our students, their education, personal 

development, and overall success. 

Because of our location, Old Dominion can offer programs that 

other universities can’t. The city of Norfolk is situated on 

the Chesapeake Bay and within a short drive to 

Virginia Beach and the Outer Banks of North 

Carolina; students use the local water 

as their oceanography classroom. 

Specialized engineering courses 

that deal with bay dredging and 

bridge building are also offered. 

Our campus is thirty miles from 

the NASA/Langley Research 

Center, and many students 

learn from shared faculty, facilities, 

and research technology. 

The Hampton Roads area is home 

to internationally recognized business 

and industry giants, setting the 

stage for courses in business and international 

relations. Students enjoy a lively cultural 

community with theater, music and museums.

Welcome Letter 

Why Monarchs 

When Jim Jarrett arrived on the campus of Old Dominion University in the fall of 1967 

as a Health and Physical Education professor, he had little idea that his tenure would 

be counted in decades. During that time span, he has led the program from a well 

respected NCAA Division II member to a nationally respected Division I power that has 

captured 25 national championships. 

Jarrett began his 36th year as athletic director in 2006, taking over the reigns in 1970 

when Bud Metheny stepped down from that position. As one of the youngest 

athletic directors in the nation at that time, Jarrett quickly began 

to make a name for himself and ODU. He committed early on to 

a philosophy of “selective excellence,” whereby the department 

“selected” its competitive sports and committed 

itself financially, academically and competitively to the 

sports it felt the University could best excel. 

In 1974, Jarrett became the first athletic director 

in the state of Virginia to award grant-in-aids to 

women student-athletes. It was a bold move 

at the time for a young athletic director and 

equally young University, but one that paid 

great dividends. Just five years later, in 

1979, the Lady Monarchs won the first of three 

national championships in women’s basketball, 

and led the nation in attendance. 

Under his leadership, the department’s athletic 

venues have tripled and are considered 

state of the art facilities. They include the 

construction of the Bud Metheny Baseball 

Complex, the Sailing Center, the Athletic 

Administration Building and the 8,500 seat 

Constant Convocation Center. Currrently, Jarrett 

is overseeing construction of the ODU Soccer 

Building, an indoor tennis facility and renovations to 

the Athletic Administration Building, which include a 

new weight room, training room and academic advising 

area. 

For all his efforts, Jarrett’s has been honored many times by national 

and local groups. Most recently, Jarrett was given Lifetime Achievement 

awards from NACDA and VaSID. In 2003, he was named the Southeast Regional 

Athletic Director of the Year by NACDA. Other awards he’s received include the 

Collegiate Director’s Award from the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association, and 

the Norfolk Sports Club Man of the Year. He served as a member of the NCAA Women’s 

Basketball Committee and is a past president of the Colonial Athletic Association and 

the Virginia Sports Hall of Fame. 

Many people have wondered how the 

Old Dominion University athletic teams 

came to be officially knows as the 

Monarchs. 

For many years, the athletic teams of the 

Norfolk division of the College of William 

& Mary (as Old Dominion was formerly 

called) were known as the Braves. This 

was a derivation of the William & Mary 

nickname of Indians. As Old Dominion 

achieved its own four-year status and 

saw its enrollment surpass that of its 

Williamsburg neighbor, it was no longer 

suitable or acceptable to have its teams 

called the Braves. 

The name Monarchs evokes much of 

the early history of the Commonwealth 

of Virginia and of Old Dominion’s mother 

institution, the College of William & 

Mary. The nickname “Old Dominion” 

was first coined to the Virginia colony 

by King Charles II after Virginia’s loyalty 

to the crown during the English Civil 

War. Furthermore, William III and Mary 

II, whose patronage helped found the 

College of William & Mary in Virginia in 

1963, ruled England at the invitation of 

Parliament as “joint monarchs.” 

The Monarch used by Old Dominion 

has a royal crown on a lion’s head, representing 

an historic past and a strong 

future. 

An avid golfer and tennis player, Jarrett and his wife Sugie reside in Norfolk.

Supporting ODU Tennis 

“Enhancing the opportunity for excellence.” 

RECRUITMENT GOAL 

The Old Dominion tennis program strives to recruit talented student-athletes 

with athletic ability that can compete for conference championships and 

high national rankings. In addition, the program looks for and expects a high 

level of academic success and community involvement. The program’s success 

is judged on how well the student-athletes do in college and after college. In 

addition to representing Old Dominion University, the tennis program is also 

representing the Hampton Roads area. The tennis program would like to thank 

the many people who have supported the tennis program over the years 

and for their continued support. 

COMMITMENT TO THE COMMUNITY 

The Old Dominion tennis program has participated in 

various tennis clinics throughout the Hampton Roads 

community and other community service projects. 

The student-athlete in the tennis program realizes 

the meaning and importance of being a part of 

the Hampton Roads Community. 

ON-COURT ACCOMPLISHMENTS 

(9) CAA Players of the Year, (5) CAA Tournament 

MVP awards, (3) CAA Rookie of the Year, (1) 

men’s team CAA Championship, (1) women’s 

team CAA Championship, (1) NCAA women’s team 

appearance, (7) individual NCAA singles appearances, 

(4) NCAA doubles appearance, (5) All-Americans, (2) 

men’s Virginia State team championships, (1) ITA National 

Clay Court Champion, several individual players have been 

ranked in the ITA Singles/Doubles National & Regional Rankings along 

with a player earning the #1 National singles ranking. Both the men and women’s 

tennis teams have earned high national and regional team rankings. As a result of the 

student-athletes success the monarch coaching staff has earned several "Coach of the 

Year" awards. 

ACADEMIC 

ACCOMPLISHMENTS 

Over 30 Academic All-Americans since 

1994, over 40 CAA All-Academic team 

members, (2) Verizon/Cosida Academic 

All-American Team. A large percentage 

of the tennis team consistently 

earns Dean List honors. 

DAVIS CUP, FEDERATION CUP, 

& GRAND SLAMS 

Six former Monarchs and one former assistant 

coach have represented their country in Davis Cup 

or Federation Cup play. A former Monarch played in the 

main draw of the Australian Open. 

NCAA HOST & OTHER TENNIS ACTIVITIES 

The tennis program has hosted the NCAA team first and second 

round in 1995 and 2001. In addition to junior tennis camps, the tennis 

program has hosted USTA $10,000 Women’s Satellites, USTA Adult 

League Championships, USTA CTC Junior Rally, various USTA junior 

tournaments, and Nick Bollettieri Summer Tennis Academy. 

SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISING 

Scholarships for the men and women’s tennis team are funded from the university, 

annual contributions, scholarship events and interest off of endowments 

given to the intercollegiate foundation for tennis scholarships. The NCAA allows tennis 

to utilize 4.5 to men scholarships and 8 scholarships for women’s tennis. To fully fund 

the tennis scholarships at Old Dominion for one year would cost approximately $275,000.

Join The Monarch Pride 

Year-By-Year Record 

ANNUAL FUND 

Annual cash gifts are essential for the present success of the program. Annual cash gifts 

allow the tennis program to offer scholarships to current recruits. 

ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIPS 

Endowments provide long-term success for the tennis program. The approximate 5% 

interest off of the endowment provides funds for scholarships and a portion of the interest 

is put back into the endowment allowing it to grow with inflationary cost. An endowment 

can be named after an individual and can be established with a $25,000 contribution. 

Various recognition is offered for endowments depending upon the level. The tennis 

program currently has endowments in the name of Sugie Jarrett, Robert Furniss, Tom 

Scott, and Maurice Steingold. Contribution can be made to the existing endowments, 

the general endowment, or create a new endowment. The tennis program has 

approximately $500,000 in endowed scholarships. 

SCHOLARSHIP EVENTS 

The tennis program’s flagship Old Dominion Scholarship Tennis Tournament provides the 

opportunity for the tennis program to associate with the tennis community and assists 

in providing annual money for scholarship. In addition to participation, the tournament 

provides sponsorship opportunities. 

FACILITIES 

There are naming right opportunities for the eight indoor and twelve outdoor courts at 

the Old Dominion Tennis Complex.
