Advanced beginner to Intermediate descriptions

Advanced Beginner. Makes longer lasting slow-paced rallies. Makes most easy volleys and uses some backhands, but needs more work on developing shot strokes. Beginning to approach the non-volley zone to hit volleys. Aware of the “soft game.”

Rating 3.0 - Novice/Intermediate

Has a consistent serve and returns medium-paced balls reliably. Able to make all basic strokes. Lacks control when trying to place the ball. Attempts lobs and dinks with limited success.

Level 3.5 - Intermediate

Demonstrates a broad knowledge of the rules of the game. Gets high majority of serves “in” Able to serve and return serve deep. Hits to the weak side of opponent often. Demonstrates more strategies of playing during games.

This is generally a 3.0-3.25 level. This should be the next stop if beginner/advanced beginner is becoming too easy. Also, if you find yourself near the low end in the intermediate, this could be a better fit.
