General Characteristics of Various NTRP Playing Levels

1.5 Beginner: You have limited experience and are working primarily on getting the ball in play.

2.0 Beginner: You lack court experience and your strokes need developing. You are familiar with the basic positions for singles and doubles play.

2.5 Beginner: You are learning to judge where the ball is going, although your court coverage is limited. You can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability.

3.0 You are fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but are not comfortable with all strokes and lack execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power. Your most common doubles formation is one-up, one-back.

3.5 You have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but need to develop depth and variety.
