The National Tennis Rating Program (NTRP) classifies players in a certain skill level. The NTRP provides a simple, self-placement method to group individuals of similar ability for league play, tournaments, group lessons, social matches and club or community programs. Ratings range from 1.0 (beginner) to 7.0 (world class professional).
Players without an NTRP rating who wish to participate in Adult NTRP tournaments must review the information at the web links below.

Once this information has been reviewed, an unrated player may register for an NTRP tournament at an appropriate level of play. (Note that while an unrated player can self-rate on TennisLink when registering for a USTA League team, an unrated player cannot self-rate when registering for a USTA tournament.)
NTRP tournaments are offered at the 3.0, 3.5, 4.0, and 4.5 levels (singles, doubles, mixed doubles).
At the request of the tournament director or USTA New England, an unrated player who is registering for or who has played in an NTRP tournament must complete and submit the Player Background History Form.
