Please read: Competition for MAC Tennis classes is at an all-time high. For the benefit of all classes and to help ensure players are at a suitable level for each class, registration is limited to a player’s NTRP rating. 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/default.aspx. Registering out of level causes a player to be withdrawn from the class without notice. Please note, this policy is strictly followed. Below-level players only get into higher-level classes if there are no at-level players waiting and with a coach’s permission.
NTRP 2.0: Player is a beginner to the game of tennis. Grip and stroke production knowledge is very limited, as are basic strategies for competition.
NTRP 2.5: Player has taken some lessons but needs on-court experience and has obvious stroke weakness but is developing in singles and doubles.
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.
All tennis instructors are subject to change without notice. Refunds are not issued if an instructor change occurs.
