For athletes of lower skill ability, coaches should use the tennis individual skills competition to rate playing ability. The individual skills competition consists of seven basic tennis skills: forehand volley, backhand volley, forehand groundstroke, backhand groundstroke, serve (deuce court), serve (advantage court) and alternating groundstrokes with movement. The individual skills competition can be used as both an assessment tool for evaluating lower skilled players and a competition format for athletes not ready for traditional match play competition.
