Using a handicap system in tennis the same way it is used in golf would be a difficult task if it were used in a match with 2 players of very different abilities. However, everyone has those players that they never beat. It may be a close game at times, but they never win. So, in this case, a...

Jack the Hack, Thank you for your insightful comments on the NTRP System and the Tencap rating system. You seem to know a lot about both. The survey is used simply to get the opinions of other tennis players in the industry. I am in Kansas City, and being a tennis pro, I have met the...

McEnroe came to our college about 5 years ago to open our new facility. A few of us played singles and doubles against him. Who ever thinks he was all about touch and finess and couldn't hit the ball hard, you're wrong. The guy would school any female in the world, any top club player, and...

I am an MBA student doing my final thesis project on the tennis industry. Please answer the following surveys. I need to have a sample size of at least 500 players from around the country to get an accurate analysis of the data. Just click copy and paste the link below into your web browser...

If you have played tennis in the US and know anything about the NTRP rating system, you can answer the survey.

The cookies are in the mail. I am a little suspect of the mailman though, he had a large smile on his face when he picked them up. Thanks for all the responses

UMKC still offers scholarships and more than half the team is foreign. They have just had a problem with head coaches. It is a part-time position which means they do not get the pick of the crop, and they cannot build a program with part time coaches. The top players are decent, and they...

I was the assistant last year, but no longer officially working with the team.

Although I know it must be tough for local American players to get scholarships on D-1 teams, I am all about bringing the foreigners to the States. That's what makes D1 college tennis so competitive. And they do have rules about players ages and playing pro before college. Of course, always...

No, Don't know T rock. I am fairly new to Kansas City, been here for about 1.5 years. I definitely wouldn't say I am the best player in KC either. I would hope there are plenty of other younger and stronger players than me. Maybe a few years ago. I have heard of Casey from a couple pros out...

I was the assistant coach at UMKC in Kansas City while doing my MBA. It is definitely one of the weakest D1 schools I have ever seen, and we still got to the semis of conference. It really showed me how many different levels of tennis there are in D1.

Tencap sounds pretty good. Have you had any experience with any other leagues other than Tencap? I am currently not a member of a club. I do a little coaching at the Carriage Club. My rating is probably around a 6.0 (maybe a 5.5 now days). What is your NTRP (or your Tencap)?
