Players with no NTRP Rating are not eligible for 3.5 or higher-level classes. To acquire an NTRP rating, please visit the USTA League page at tennislink.usta.com/leagues/common/home.aspx. Registering out of level causes a player to be withdrawn from the class without notice. For a complete list of levels, course descriptions, and program policies, visit themac.com/group/pages/tennis. For more information, contact Head Coach Paul Reber at 503-517-7594 or tennis@themac.com.

NTRP 3.0: Player can place shots with moderate success and sustain a rally at a slow pace, but lacks control when trying for power.

NTRP 3.5: Player has achieved stroke dependability and direction on shots within reach, including forehand and backhand volleys, but still lacks depth and variety, seldom double faults, and occasionally forces errors on the serve. Players with prior coach approval may register if they are below class level.

This player also has the ability to use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with success. This player occasionally forces errors when serving. Points may be lost due to impatience. Teamwork in doubles is evident.
