"The lesson with George was pretty helpful, especially since I’m working on getting better at my backhand. So, yeah, I’d say the class was quite good overall, and I appreciated the focus on that specific stroke. Still, I think with a bit more practice, I’ll see even more improvement. If you’re into tennis and want a steady approach, it’s worth giving George a shot.
George
I’ve been playing tennis since I was young. I play tennis to keep myself fit and as a means to unwind. It improves my reflexes and coordination and I’d love to share the sport with you!
"I’d say Ryan’s lesson was quite helpful, especially how he focused on my grip and footwork, I really felt like I got a clearer sense of fundamentals. Though, I still need some consistency, but I guess that’s part of the process. Still, I’d consider trying another lesson to keep building on what I learned.
Ryan
UPDATE: I am the only coach to have someone I work with move up to 4.5 in mens singles for the 2026 season. I am a serve, volley, groundstrokes technician. I was a Top 25 junior in Southern California, Doubles #1 junior in SoCal, and currently 2025 USTA Denver Division 4.0/4.5 Singles Flex League Champion (my ankle can handle once a week matches). People I work with have also won 4.0 and 4.5 USTA and UTR tournaments.
"Honestly, my son’s game has seen a pretty good boost since the lesson. Vincent concentrated on core skills and knowledge, which I think really made a difference. Though there’s still some work ahead, it’s clear he’s developing better fundamentals. I’d say this lesson set a strong foundation, and I’m optimistic about what’s next. If you’re looking to improve, maybe give Vincent a try.

✅ 1. Keep It Playful and Game-Based • Use games like “King of the Court,” “Jailbreak,” or “Target Practice” rather than endless repetitive drills. • Turn technical skills into mini-challenges: e.g., “Who can hit 5 forehands in a row in the court?” • Use fun props like cones, hula hoops, targets, and obstacle courses. ⸻ ✅ 2. Use Modified Equipment • Rackets: Lighter and shorter junior rackets for better control. • Balls: Use red, orange, or green dot balls (slower and lower bounce). • Courts: Use smaller court sizes (Red: 36 ft, Orange: 60 ft) for kids under 10. • Nets: Portable mini nets for beginners. ⸻ ✅ 3. Focus on Movement & Balance • Incorporate footwork games: side shuffles, frog jumps, ladder drills. • Use shadow swings to teach technique without worrying about hitting the ball at first. • Do lots of hand-eye coordination games (throwing, catching, rolling). ⸻ ✅ 4. Teach Simple, Clear Technique • Break skills down into tiny steps: e.g., forehand grip → swing path → contact point. • Demonstrate often — kids learn best by copying. • Keep explanations short and age-appropriate. ⸻ ✅ 5. Keep Lessons Short & Varied • For kids under 8: 30-45 mins max. • Mix activities every 5-10 mins to hold attention. • Alternate high-energy games with short water breaks. ⸻ ✅ 6. Encourage Teamwork and Social Play • Do doubles and team challenges to make kids cheer for each other. • Pair stronger players with developing ones for peer learning. • Celebrate effort, not just wins. ⸻ ✅ 7. Build Confidence & Make It Positive • Praise good effort, sportsmanship, and improvement. • Avoid focusing only on mistakes; give 1 tip at a time. • Use stickers, small prizes, or “Player of the Day” awards.
