About your tennis coach
I’ve been involved with the game of tennis for 21 years now. I was as a top national junior player in singles and doubles. After a professional playing career was cut short by injury, I turned my attention to helping others improve and find a love for the game! I’ve coached for 10 years with all levels of player, ranging from top ranked national junior players to adults or young child picking up a racquet for the first time My focus is developing players with strong fundamentals and a passion for the game. Whether you’re looking to raise your game to new levels, or just get out on the court to have fun and break a sweat, I look forward to elevating your tennis journey together!

Joseph’s approach to building my fundamentals is focused and efficient. He provides clear instructions during lessons that make me better understand how the technique is and will continue to improve.
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe will begin with learning the grips/hand positions for each shot, as well as the basic motion for each as well. And never be afraid to ask any questions, no matter what level of player you are or how advanced you become! We’ll follow up with a couple different exercises or games to make the learning process more fun and to give you examples of fun ways to get repetition that you can even practice with your friends or family!
Lesson 11+Occasional checkups/reviews of shots to make sure the player maintains the good habits they’re building, Further advanced exercises will be added as well as increased reps or point play, depending on player need/preference
Lesson 4-10The player will be taught the scoring system of tennis, as well as more serve and return work. Gradually advancing the difficulty of exercises, be it by adding more complex movement, higher reps, or giving the player a slightly more difficult ball to return. All of this will depend on how well the player feels they have a grasp on each shot. We’ll also learn a couple more tally, point, or game exercises to allow players to have fun with the game even more outside of just private lessons
Lesson 2-3More in depth adjustments on whichever swings require it, as well as adding slightly more advanced patterns or exercises into the mix. More of a focus on power and spin as well, depending on how comfortable the student is with the swings. A few more games or points can be added as well
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll do a full evaluation of your game- I’ll review every shot to determine if any technical changes need to be considered. We’ll also play points to see how the player executes their game in point play. After this, we’ll discuss building a plan moving forward that fits each players’ needs
Lesson 11+From this point on, it can vary based on the advanced player. If the player is competing in tournaments, then we’ll typically work more controlled drills to work on footwork or technique when a tournament is far out. But then closer to a tournament, we’ll work more on point play tactics and high rep drills
Lesson 4-10We’ll expand into more point play if we haven’t already, to see how what we’ve worked on so far holds up in a point setting. If we’ve already been focused on points, then we’ll add on working on slight adjustments that need to be made in either footwork, swings, or tactics
Lesson 2-3The lesson plans for these lessons can vary depending on the needs we discuss based on the first lesson, but the plan can range from heavy emphasis on point play, to high rep fast-paced drills, to slowed down technical drills
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I make sure to keep them engaged with more high energy exercises and add in more games to keep their attention and interact high! It’s important for them to have fun first and foremost, and then if they are serious about improving their game then we can build from there
Working with teenagersWith teenagers I’ll keep some of the energy and style that I use with younger kids, but we’ll also add in more advanced challenges and exercises now and then to keep a mix of fun but also difficulty so they never feel bored. If they are a more advanced player then we’ll map out what they need to work on in advance, so we can spend more time on that while still mixing in new drills now and again to keep things interesting
What you need to bringSunscreen, water, and their personal racquet if they have one!
What I can bringTennis balls, tennis racquets, small basket (ball hopper)
