| NTRP SKILL LEVELS The National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) categorizes players by skill level rather than by age or gender. Ratings used to be assigned by tennis teaching professionals. Now, they are self-selected by players. Your skill level is not permanent. It moves up as your game improves. Likewise, it may move down as you get older or if you stop playing for awhile. To find your NTRP skill level, click the NTRP matrix and read through the operational definitions for forehand, backhand, serve, service return, volley, special shots and playing style. The number in the orange column that best describes your level of play is your NTRP skill level. If your game falls in between two NTRP skill levels, select the higher category.
IMPORTANT: Those who compete in a United States Tennis Association (USTA) league or tournament in Chicago or Milwaukee will find that those who play in the USTA 3.5 skill division, for example, can execute skills described as NTRP 4.0 on the NTRP matrix. So, you may want to register for one level lower than your self-assessed NTRP skill level when competing in a USTA tournament outside of Rockford. |
