Beginner 2.5 - 3.0 Level or Equivalent
11 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Players should know how to serve and keep score. They come to the net on occasion but do not have really reliable third shot, volley strategies, and they may not have a high-level understanding of court positioning. If you're around the bottom 50% of rec play at the Community Center, you're good for this level.
Advanced 3.5 - 4.0 Level or Equivalent
2 p.m. - 5 p.m.
Players at this level get to the net on almost every point, and they understand and can apply third shot strategies, volleys and court positioning. If you're around the top 50% of rec play at the Community Center, this level is for you.
