ITN Description of Standards

An explanation of the 10 rating categories within the ITN are known as the ITN Description of Standards. A concise summary of this Description of Standards is shown below. The intention is that it should be easy to understand and useful for both the player and / or the ITN assessor (coach / administrator). The ITN Description of Standards avoids rating players purely on the technical assessment of individual shots. Instead it has used as its basis:

the general characteristics of various playing levels;

the five-game / tactical situations of tennis (e.g. serving, returning, both at baseline, approaching, passing); and

the game-style of the player.

The following is an extract from the ITN Description of Standards and gives a concise summary of the 10 different ITN rating categories.

ITN 10

ITN 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3

The creation of a sub-category for starter players (ITN 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3) ensures that any player, whatever their level, can have an ITN. The ITN 10.1 to 10.3 categories will usually involve playing in a modified environment e.g. using the slower Red, orange and Green balls, on a smaller court and / or using adapted rackets as appropriate.

ITN 10.1

This player is able to rally with movement and control. Typically a player using the Green ball on a full size court i.e. Stage 1 Tennis10s.

ITN 10.2

This player has developed some simple tennis-specific skills in hitting an oncoming ball regularly, however rallying with movement and control is not yet achieved. Typically a player using the Orange ball on a 60-foot court i.e. Stage 2 Tennis10s.

ITN 10.3

The player is in the early stages of tennis skills development and is primarily learning simple tennis co-ordination tasks / exercises. Typically a player using the Red ball on a 36-foot court i.e. Stage 3 Tennis10s.

Why use only 10 ratings categories?

The number of rating categories is limited to 10 so that the system is simple, easily understood and relatively easy to promote and to use. The number of rating categories was discussed extensively by the International Tennis Rating taskforce and, while recognising that the rating categories could be expanded at national level, the ITF’s intention is to maintain the ten rating categories at the international level, as detailed above. However, the rating categories ITN 1 – ITN 10 should not be restrictive and National Associations should be able to expand and adapt the system by adding sub-levels within each category (e.g. 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 etc) if they feel it is beneficial to tennis in their country.
