What's My Level? (Juniors)
Junior clinics are based on age and skill level. To determine your level, use the guidelines below or talk to one of our pros.
- Pee Wee: Players ages 3 - 6 years old with no or little experience. These classes will work on basic motor skills and basic tennis shots, forehands, backhands, volleys.
- Top Notch Juniors: Players ages 7 - 10 with little experience. Classes in this group will consist of introductory grips, scoring in tennis, and basic strategy and games.
- Top Gun Juniors: Players ages 11 - 14 (Middle School Beginners/Intermediates) with intermediate experience. Players in this class have a good understanding of hitting basic shots and this class will consist of more advanced techniques such as topspin, and slice. Players here will learn even more about how to approach singles and doubles matches. Serving will be a major topic.
- Elite Middle School: Players at the top of their Middle School Teams. This class is designed to help players in this catagory a chance to move up to the next level. Tournament play is encouraged for players in these classes.
- High School (ages 14 - 18): This class is for players currently on high school teams looking to improve their positions on the team. Tournament play is also encouraged at this level.
- Tournament Elite: Players in this class are at the highest positions on their High School/Middle School teams and currently have rankings in tournaments. You must be approved by Rick to play in this class!
What's My Rating? (Adults)
Adult classes are based on the National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) used by the United States Tennis Association. If you don't know your rating, ask one of our pros for an evaluation.
- 2.0 - You lack court experience and your strokes need developing. You are familiar with the basic positions for singles and doubles play.
- 2.5 - You are learning to judge where the ball is going, although your court coverage is limited. You can sustain a short rally of slow pace with other players of the same ability.
- 3.0 - You are fairly consistent when hitting medium-paced shots, but are not comfortable with all strokes and lack execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power. Your most common doubles formation is one-up, one-back.
- 3.5 - You have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but need to develop depth and variety. You exhibit more aggressive net play, have improved court coverage and are developing teamwork in doubles.
- 4.0 - You have dependable strokes, including directional control and depth on both forehand and backhand sides on moderate-paced shots. You can use lobs, overheads, approach shots and volleys with some success and occasionally force errors when serving. Rallies may be lost due to impatience. Teamwork in doubles is evident.
