Jr. Program Player Levels- General Descriptions
	NOVICE  This player is new to the game of tennis or has been playing for less than two years, but can play a full-court tennis match. They are just learning to play and judge where the ball is going. They enjoy tennis as a recreational sport and have very little or no match play experience.
	INTERMEDIATE  This is by far the largest group of players with the largest range of abilities. Generally this player's level within the group is determined by how consistent they are when hitting medium-paced shots, but is not comfortable with all strokes and lacks execution when trying for directional control, depth, or power. They typically have some match play experience for their high school varsity or JV team. Also, they have a possible range of tournament experience from none to many.
	ADVANCED  Generally players at this level are varsity-level players on a high school team, or, in the case of younger players, striving to play at this level in their age group. Also, they have some tournament experience. They have achieved improved stroke dependability with directional control on moderate shots, but need to develop depth and variety. They exhibit more aggressive net play, have improved court coverage, and are developing teamwork in doubles.
	TOURNAMENT  Players exhibiting a high level of tennis ability and are very committed to the sport of tennis. At minimum, they have the goal of playing college tennis. These players usually play at the top or very high on their high school team with the goal of qualifying for the state tournament. Refinement of strokes, better shot selection, and specific game development is the concentration in class sessions.
