Beginner training plan
Your first lessonOur first lesson will work highly on fundamentals. We’ll work on racket grip. Holding a tennis ball on the racket, and dribbling up and down. Based on student’s comfort and ability, we’ll move into some ground strokes.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11 onward will involve less drills and more match play. We’ll work on areas that might need improvement, but also work on the mental game. We’ll do match scenarios where we’ll start with a match score of 1-2 sets up or down. The object of the student will be to overcome the deficit or maintain their lead. We’ll talk about mindfulness, and the ability to only focus on the next point.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4-10 will involve improving ground strokes and footwork. We’ll begin practicing shots at different areas of the court to work on control, touch, power, and spin. We will also begin to fine tune serves. Here we’ll have more opportunity for gameplay (fun drill and actual game scenarios!) Here we can also start capturing some drills on video, to review film and measure improvements!
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2-3 will incorporate what we learned in lesson 1. We’ll continue to work on ground strokes (forehands and backhands). Again based ability we might start practicing serves.
Youth players
Working with kidsI love working with kids as it provides both a challenge, but a greater reward having helped mentored a youth passionate about the sport that I love. I’ll tailor each lesson based on my student’s skill level, and create a fun, yet challenging experience for new players!
