How? 

Use the “Play Tennis” Self-Rating Guide which identifies and describes different levels of tennis ability.

 

 Purpose:

 Find your own general level of tennis ability.

 Find players of a similar level so that you can have competitive games.

 Play an individual at a higher level using handicap scoring to make the game more competitive.

 Participate in group lessons or league play with people of similar ability.

 

Guidelines to rate yourself:

 Study the “Play Tennis” self-rating chart linked above

 Start reading from the top of the chart, beginning with Level 1.0.

 Find the level that best describes your general level of play.

 Ask your Instructor or Coach to validate your self-rating, if you think that will help.

 Remember that as you play more, and improve, your rating may improve.

 Update your rating periodically.

 Results in social and competitive matches will validate whether your chosen level is reasonably accurate.
