Which games suit your level?

The six levels

Beginner

You are learning the rules, basic strokes and how to keep a short rally going.

Improver

You are building consistent rallies and learning where to position yourself.

Intermediate

You can play consistent basic shots, use the glass and apply simple tactics.

Upper intermediate

You are confident at the net and off the glass and coordinate tactics with your partner.

Advanced

You use varied shots and move reliably between attack and defence under pressure.

Expert

You play at a high competitive level and adapt your game to strong opponents.

Expert does not necessarily mean professional. If you sit between two levels, start with the lower one or ask the organizer.

Find my level

Think about what you can do consistently in a game, not your best shot. This quick check gives a starting point, not a coach’s assessment.

Why Silver or Category B can mean different things

Clubs use different systems. The same letter, colour or number can describe different players in different places.

• Australia: A, B, C and D categories vary by club and competition.
• Bali and elsewhere: Bronze, Silver and Gold are local categories. We do not apply one club’s definitions to every venue.
• Playtomic: its 0 to 7 rating is one system, not a worldwide standard. Other numeric systems use their own definitions.
• Rankings and tournament grades: French P100 or Portuguese M/F divisions describe competition structures. They are not direct equivalents of our six playing levels.

How the filter works

We keep the organizer’s original level in game details. When we have a supported match, we also show our level. A game may fit more than one level. “Approx.” means the match is an estimate, not a promise that you meet the entry rules.

“All levels” shows every game. A selected level includes matching games and sessions explicitly open to all abilities. Unclear levels stay out unless you tick “Include games with unconfirmed levels”. We do not guess from a category name alone.
