LTA Padel Rating System

The LTA Padel Ratings System has been designed to provide a standardised reference for all aspects of amateur and professional play. A variety of systems in the marketplace today, adopted by padel clubs, all encourage their users/members to arrange games – In order to avoid an array of standards it is encouraged that all systems throughout the UK utilise the same numeric-scale, categorising all players accordingly as shown below. This same system is also currencly the most commonly used numeric-scale in Spain (1.00 to 7.00).

Upon becomming a member of LTA Padel you will then be able to request a rating from your local affiliated padel coach – Your rating will then be recorded to your membership number – This will allow all members to begin arranging games with other players at their affiliated club of choice.
