(1) Check the USTA’s website, because they might have a list of some coaches and lessons.
(2) Contact the Y in Newark. I know the Y down in Sussex County did have tennis lessons. The problem is its getting very close to being “out of season”, so unless the Y up there has an indoor court, you’ll have to wait.
(3) Check with the Athletic Dept. There is normally someone on staff that could give you lessons. When I went undergrad, it was common for some of the kids on the tennis team to provide lessons in the winter to make some cash. I mean, you guys are Div 1, so your players are probably pretty good.
You could also try the ATP and WTA websites; I think they have listings and stuff like that. Last resort, post something on either Craigslist or the Yahoo! front end dedicated to the state of Delaware.
Good luck! And you’re going to a pretty nifty school. A couple of my friends graduated from there!
