NTRP Rating Guide

The following rating system is used nationally and by the professional staff at The South Barrington Club to assess a player’s level of play. A rating is necessary to participate in leagues, drill groups and travel teams. Please use these guidelines to “self-rate” your tennis ability.

​

1.0 – This player is just starting to play tennis.

​

1.5 – This player has limited experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.

​

2.0 – This player needs on court experience. This player has obvious stroke weaknesses but is familiar with basic positions for singles and doubles play.

 

2.5 – This player is learning to judge where the ball is going although court coverage is weak. This player can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability.

 

3.0 – This player is fairly consistent when hitting medium paced shots but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth or power. Most common doubles formation is one-up, one-back.

 

3.5 – This player has achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but still lacks depth and variety. This player exhibits more aggressive net play, has improved court coverage, and is developing team work in doubles.

 

4.0 – This player has dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate shots, plus the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success. This player occasionally forces errors when serving. Rallies may be lost due to impatience. Doubles teamwork is evident.

 

4.5 – This player has begun to master the use of power and spins and is beginning to handle pace, has sound footwork, can control depth of shots and is beginning to vary game plan according to opponents. This player can hit first serves with power and accuracy and place the second serve. This player tends to overhit on difficult shots. Aggressive net play is common in doubles.
