Just to help us get you started in CATS, which of our skill levels do you
think
you fit into? Consider your skill level in light of the following broad guidelines, but keep in mind that no numeric system can sum up a player’s full abilities. Please understand that we might find you actually fit better in a different division; this is just to get the conversation going.
Flight 3, 2.5–3.0
– This is CATS’ entry level. If you are relatively new to tennis, and you have learned ground strokes and volleys, and you can put the ball into play by serving (most of the time), then this is your level. If you have played previously at the 3.0 level, but you are rusty or you do not want the pressure of fast, aggressive play, this might be the right level for you.
Flight 2, 3.0–3.5
– If you are a solid 3.0 who can volley well, run and play aggressively, or you are a solid 3.5 on a good day but you sometimes lack control, this might be the right level for you. If you are one of the newly minted 3.5’s in your USTA league or you perform below the top level players in 3.5 level tournaments, then this might be the right level for you.
Flight 1, 3.5–4.0
– If you are an aggressive 3.5, you play multiple times per week or you are at the top level of the players in local 3.5 USTA leagues or local tournaments, this is the right level for you, as well as all 4.0 players.
Still not sure where you fit?
Don’t worry, we’ll work with you to find the best fit.
