If you play tennis at least at medium level and know how to keep score and where to stand you should be above beginner. I don’t know where you’re going to beginners at, but saddlebrook, sea breeze, Chula Vista use to be good places to go, (but, don’t expect at 1001 am it will be only beginners) Everybody will slam ball when get pop up even the 4.5s or above, Which they will never play with anybody but in their click. And if they do you get unwelcome feeling immediately.
