Court Skill Levels
To provide the best playing experience, courts are organized by skill level:
- Court 1 - Advanced (4.0-5.0+)
- Players demonstrate consistent control, strategy, and shot placement, including dinks, drops, and volleys. Comfortable with fast-paced play, advanced positioning, and competitive gameplay.
- Court 2 - Intermediate (3.0-3.5)
- Players can sustain rallies with moderate consistency and are developing control with dinks, serves, and returns. Understanding of positioning and strategy is growing, with occasional unforced errors.
- Court 3 - Beginner (2.0-2.5)
- Players are learning the basic rules, scoring, and court positioning. Focus is on developing consistency in serves, returns, and keeping the ball in play.
- Court 4 - Flexible Use (All Levels/Developmental)
