Tennis Rating System:

Beginners: 1.0-1.5

This player is just starting to play tennis. 1.5 This player has had limited experience with stroke development and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.  This player is not yet ready to compete

‍

Low-Intermediate: 2.0-2.5

This player needs on-court experience, with an emphasis on play.  This player struggles to find an appropriate contact point, needs stroke development/lessons and is not yet familiar with basic positions for singles and doubles. 2.5 This player is learning to judge where the oncoming ball is going and how much swing is needed to return it consistently. Movement to the ball and recovery are often not efficient.  Can sustain a backcourt rally of slow pace with other players of similar ability and is beginning to develop strokes. This player is becoming more familiar with the basic positions for singles and doubles, and is ready to play social matches, leagues and low-level tournaments.

‍

Intermediate: 3.0-3.5

This player is fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks accuracy when trying for directional control, depth, pace or altering distance of shots.  Most common doubles formation is one up, one back. Potential limitations:  inconsistency when applying or handling pace; difficulty handling shots outside of their strike zone; can be uncomfortable at the net. 3.5 This player has achieved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth, variety and the ability to alter distance of shots.  The effective use of lobs, overheads, approach shots, and volleys is limited.  This player is more comfortable at the net, has improved court awareness, and is developing teamwork in doubles.
