Ratings Policy.
Players must have an NTRP rating assessed by one of our club professionals in order to participate in HPTC’s programs including teams, ladders, lessons , and the year-end tournament.
2024 Ratings Sessions
1st Rating Sessions: April 22nd, 25th, 29th, and May 2nd.
Sessions are held from 7pm-8pm on Court 1.
To register, please visit the Adult Programs section in your HPTC account.
What to expect at your free 1st Rating Session
Your 1st Rating may take place with up to four players on a court.
Each 1st Rating can last up to 20 minutes, as the Tennis Pro leads players through a series of drills and play so they can judge your general playing abilities, according to the four performance factors: technical, tactical, physical and psychological.
You do not find out the results of your rating right away. Our staff will update your account profile to accurately reflect your Member Rating.
You will receive an NTRP rating anywhere from 1.0 (a beginner) to 7.0 (professional tour player).
If a session is cancelled due to inclement weather, please register for the next available session.
Please contact the court managers if you have registered but are unable to attend. If you have to cancel in the last 24 hours before the session, a re-booking penalty of $10 will be applied.
What to expect at a Re-Rating Session
You can attend up to two Re-Rating sessions per season at a cost of $10 each.
A Re-Rating is a more extensive session than a 1st Rating. In the 1st Rating, you were assessed based on a snapshot of your skills and general play. In a Re-Rating, you are assessed in more detail on your technical, tactical, physical, and psychological abilities.
A Re-Rating is limited to a maximum of four players per session and can last up to 30 minutes. The Tennis Professional leads players through a series of drills and play to challenge your abilities for whichever level you are attempting to achieve.
48 hours after the Re-Rating Session, the Tennis Professional will provide members with an individualized breakdown of each player’s session results by email.
If a player’s NTRP rating changes as a result of the session, that player’s rating will be updated by the staff shortly after receiving confirmation from the Tennis Professional.
Member Re-Ratings are not mandatory. If a member chooses to attempt a Re-Rating, they should become familiar with the NTRP rating criteria provided on this page.
NOTE:
Cancellations within the last 24 hours will be charged the $10 fee.
