NTRP
National Tennis Rating Program
(NTRP)
Click Here to
find your rating.
Purpose
The primary goal of the program is to help all tennis players enjoy the game by
providing a method of classifying skill levels for more compatible matches,
group lessons, league play, tournaments and other programs.
Guidelines
The rating categories are generalizations about skill levels. You may find that
you actually play above or below the category which best describes your skill
level, depending on your competitive ability. The category you choose is not
meant to be permanent, but may be adjusted as your skills change or as your
match play demonstrates the need for reclassification. Ultimately your rating is
based upon match results.
In an effort to avoid disqualification when players are rating themselves and
they question which level they should play, they should place themselves in the
higher level of play. Players must rate themselves in accordance with the NTRP.
Players who are good athletes and intend to spend a great deal of time taking
lessons and practicing should be aware that their improvement may be significant
enough to surpass their original self-rate level. All players, both self-rated
and computer rated, are subject to disqualification through Sectional
Championships.
The National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) is the official system for determining
the levels of competition for USTA League.
NTRP ratings for all Colorado players are produced by the USTA.
