Bring a goal or two. I will be able to determine areas for improvement relatively quickly. But as time is of the essence, it helps to hit the ground running right off the bat!

A racket, comfy outfit and some "tennis" shoes made for tennis! (Not running, walking, hiking, crosstraining shoes, etc.) However, basketball shoes will suffice too. Please bring your OWN RACKET which you can purchase on Amazon or at BIG 5 or DICK'S SPORTING GOODS.

A good attitude.

Coaching tennis to kids can be incredibly rewarding and fun when you have the right lesson plans in place. The key to success is creating a structured yet engaging environment that keeps young players motivated while building their skills. Start with basic warm-up exercises to get them moving and comfortable on the court. Next, incorporate foundational drills like proper grip, footwork, and racquet handling to develop their technique. Use fun, interactive games to make learning enjoyable and maintain their focus—kids respond best when they’re having fun! Always tailor your lesson plans to match the group’s age and skill level, ensuring activities are challenging but achievable. End each session with a cool-down period and a positive review of what they’ve learned. By combining patience, creativity, and enthusiasm, you can foster a love for the game and help kids build confidence both on and off the court.
