RATINGS

All members of a team must have the appropriate National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) rating for that team. The NTRP scale is a measure of playing skills. A rank of beginner is rated at 1.0. Rating ranges increase in increments of .5 up to 7.0, a world class player. Collegiate players are rated between 6.0 and 6.5; an intermediate club player would be rated between 2.5 and 3.5.

The top team in each local division must compete in the sectional playoffs and, if successful, the national playoffs.

It’s a great opportunity to test your skills. Log on to the NorCal USTA website or call the USTA Northern California Section at 510-748-7373 for league information.
