Start by understanding where you are.

Build a structured first picture of your usual game. This is the start of the process: use your profile to choose what to work on, practise and observe again.

I already have a profile: view my history

01

Picture yourself on court

Answer concrete situations with explanations and visual guidance. There are no answers you need to guess.

02

Understand your profile

An indicative decimal level, PPP Score and seven areas with coverage and confidence in the estimate. The source and methodology explain where each result comes from.

03

Practise with direction

Choose a next step, learn from published content and keep your history. My development, in beta, lets you record what you do and review what you observe. Sharing a Player Card is optional.

Learn while assessing your game

Understand what you are assessing.

Explore a situation step by step. Each skill in the questionnaire has an explanation and this visual guide, without leaving the assessment.

A third-shot drop is a soft third shot played by the serving team, usually from the baseline, towards the opponents’ kitchen.

Third-shot drop: Deny an attacking ball and open the transition.After the return bounces, reach a stable contact position from the baseline. View from above. You are in the lower half. The line shows the ball’s path across the court, not its height.KITCHENT
T: you · P: partner · Light circles: opponents. An indicative overhead diagram; it does not show actual height or speed.

Deny an attacking ball and open the transition.

After the return bounces, reach a stable contact position from the baseline.

What to look for

  • Enough height to clear the net with margin.
  • Decide whether to advance based on the response, rather than automatically.

Common mistake: Running towards the net even though the drop is high.

This guide does not change your answer. Assess what you have actually practised, rather than what you have just learned here.

Before you start.

Is this an official rating?

No. It is based on how you describe your game. It does not replace DUPR or measure competitive results. The level bands are a methodological hypothesis awaiting calibration.

What if I do not know a shot?

If a situation is not part of your game yet, select 1. This means you do not yet describe it as functional, without attributing a cause. If you resume an assessment from an earlier version, its own instructions and options remain.

Who can see my results?

You and authorised PPP staff. Completing the assessment creates or links your private Player Development profile. Sharing a Player Card is optional and you can revoke its link.

Can I stop and return later?

Yes. Your answers are saved to your account. You can resume and repeat the assessment to keep a record of different stages of your development.
