Water

Bring a bottle of water and wear tennis shoes.

To prepare for your tennis lesson, ensure you are well-hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day and eat a light meal or snack about an hour before. Wear comfortable athletic clothing and proper tennis shoes, and check that your racket is in good condition. Pack essentials such as a water bottle, towel, and any personal items like a hat or sunscreen. Do some light stretching or a brisk walk to start warming up your muscles before arriving at the court. Something else I like to suggest is to mentally review any notes from previous lessons and set specific goals for the session to maximize your training.

1. Create a fun environment to develop and foster the love for the game. 2. Learn and develop a good foundation for the core competencies of tennis. Starting with footwork and finding the rhythm, watching and reading the ball, the importance of footwork, and the intricacies of the stroke mechanics.

I make lessons fun and engaging by using games, shorter exercises, and simplified instructions. I use smaller courts and low-compression balls to help kids rally successfully and build confidence. I also focus on movement and coordination through playful drills like "Champion of the Court" or "Target Hitting" to keep them active and excited.
