Frequently Asked Questions


Q. How can I determine my rating?

A. NTRP, National Tennis Rating Program, is a classification program that identifies and describes levels of tennis ability. The NTRP is used to assure equitable competition in USA League tennis. There used to be three kinds of NTRP ratings: self ratings, visual ratings, and computer ratings.

USTA NorCal has moved to Self Rating in place of the traditional Visual Rating Sessions. New NorCal players, and players with expired ratings will be the first to participate in this new program. They will enter the program by rating themselves using the NTRP General and Specific Characteristics of Various Playing Levels. Visual and computer ratings involve the United States Tennis Association (USTA). Year-end computer ratings are generated annually after playing two USTA league matches in a season. For more information on the rating system, please click here to go to the USTA Norcal web site.

PLEASE NOTE: If you don't have a current, valid rating, either self-rating or computer generated, you will need to rate yourself. If you don't know whether or not you have a valid rating, the NORCAL website will prompt you when you try to register for a team. You will need to follow the guidelines and all is self-explanatory for you to successfully rate yourself. For additional info Self-Rating info on the Norcal Tennis web site click here.

Q. How do I join a USTA league team?

A. To participate on a MVTC-sponsored USTA team, you must be a MVTC club member, a member of USTA and have a current computer, or self rating. Players cover the costs of their USTA membership, team registration, balls, court rental, and other expenses. If you have further questions regarding joining a MVTC-sponsored USTA team, please contact or .

Q. If I am an eligible MVTC member, can I play on any MVTC sponsored USTA team?

A. Teams are prohibited from preventing players from joining their teams. Players should be permitted to join any team at their respective USTA level. Only AFTER teams are formed will the team members vote to determine whether the team’s philosophy will be one of equal play, or competitive play. This decision is not to be made by the captain alone. The only exception to this rule is the case where there are multiple teams. In that case, the players may use this determination to decide which team to join if the teams have different playing philosophies. Equal play teams may set deadlines by which players must join their teams.
