You are most likely a 1.0 - 1.5 tennis player. This means you are just learning to play and have some basic skills. You are working on getting the ball into play consistently, and are learning the terms associated with the game and how to score. When looking for <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/how-to-find-a-tennis-partner-near-you\/\">tennis partners<\/a>, find players at your level or a 2 - 2.5 to help you get better, but not get bored with your skill level.

Your best bet is to play, play, play to work on your consistency.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you slightly better than a beginner tennis player? <\/strong>You are most likely a 2.0 - 2.5 tennis player. You have been playing for a while now, and you can hit fairly consistently and your serve is getting better although you lack control a lot of the time, resulting in inconsistencies. You understand the rules and scoring. You can benefit from more on-court experience to keep your skills going, and you can judge where the ball is going to go from your opponent. Your returns are inconsistent a lot, and you may be reluctant to come to the net. You may be avoiding backhand strokes, but you are consistent when returning towards the middle of the court.&nbsp; In your serves, you may have full motion, and get a great shot in about half the time. Keep upgrading your skills with slow rallys with players at your same level, and seek out some <a href=\"http:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/news\/how-to-find-a-tennis-partner-near-you\/\">3.0 players near you<\/a> as well to help you grow without having your opponents get frustrated with you. A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/find-a-tennis-coach\/\">good tennis coach<\/a> at your level is a great step to take at this stage.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you past the beginner level, headed towards intermediate level tennis?<\/strong> You are most likely a 3.0 - 3.5 tennis player. You have probably been playing for a few years now, and your play is solid. You can consistently hit medium pace shots, and can rally 10 in a row fairly consistently but struggle with depth, stroke techniques such as spins, and need work on power. Your net play is becoming aggressive, and you are semi-good at doubles play and predicting basic shots. You can control the direction of the ball pretty well, and you can vary your speed and direction on your first serve. You may even be able to move your opponent around the court with your shots! Finding a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/find-a-tennis-coach\/\">tennis coach<\/a> that can take your solid skills to the next level would be a great next step for you.

You are comfortable following an approach shot to the net, even though you have difficulty returning spin and fast serves. Your strokes are predictable and dependable, and have directional intent during both singles and doubles play. You understand and implement techniques such as lobs, overheads, and footwork. You know how to force errors in your opponent and work well with your partner in a doubles match. Your serve is consistent on the first serve, and you can be erratic when attempting quality shots and receiving wide balls. Finding a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/find-a-tennis-coach\/\">tennis coach<\/a> that can take your solid skills to the next level would be a great next step for you. Consider joining a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/tennis-community\/\">tennis league<\/a> and finding players near you that play at your level, or even at a 4.5 to challenge you.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you an advanced intermediate tennis player? <\/strong>You are most likely a 4.5 player. You are using power well to control your shots, your spins are on point and your footwork is helping you get the ball where you need it to be.&nbsp; Drop shots and half volleys are part of your repertoire, and you can successfully rush the net. Your weak points may be defending consistently when attempting an aggressive return and returning a serve at the feet of the opponent. Finding a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/find-a-tennis-coach\/\">tennis coach<\/a> that can take your solid skills to the next level would be a great next step for you. Consider joining a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/tennis-community\/\">tennis league<\/a> and finding players near you that play at your level, or even at a 5.0 to challenge you.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Are you an advanced tennis player? <\/strong>Congratulations - If this sounds like you are a most likely a solid 5.0-5.5 player! You are able to maintain a consistent aggressive rally with 10 or more balls, you have steady strokes and a dominant shot. You can return shots to your opponent in both a singles and doubles game. You have a great deep, crosscourt volley and your serves are point winners. You have been playing long enough to know your strengths and weaknesses, and you can spot them in your opponent after a set or two and adjust your play to combat them. You understand what you need to do to take your skills to the pro level, although <a href=\"https:\/\/www.playyourcourt.com\/\">connecting with a pro level coach<\/a> could help get you there. Between your powerful strokes, smashes, deep lobs, on-point power serves and forced errors you are great at most levels of play. At this level, you may find that you need work in more stressful matches and controlling your power.&nbsp; So what\u2019s next for you? At a level 6.0 or higher, you will not need a NTSA rating - your rating is determined by match play. Go get \u2018em tiger!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">General Characteristics of the Different Tennis Rating Player Levels (NRTP &amp; USTA Guidelines)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>1.5<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This player has limited experience and is still working primarily on getting the ball into play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>2.0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This player needs on-court experience.
