Work with student to understand their areas of weakness and areas they want to focus on improving. Will also use this lesson to further evaluate or assess competence in basics. Development of a future lesson plan will follow future lessons. I asses all players as a whole person. I will need the player to approach this initial lesson with humility and vulnerability. This implies have been very open conversation to identify areas outside of the game that are either helping the player or hurting the player in terms of their performance and desire.

Here's a list of essential equipment for your new tennis students: Essential Items: * Tennis Racquet: If you don't have one, I can lend you one. I can also recommend a beginner-friendly racquet from a local sports store or online retailer. * Tennis Shoes: These should have good traction and support for lateral movement. * Comfortable Athletic Clothing: Shorts, skirts, t-shirts, or tank tops that allow for easy movement. * Water Bottle: Staying hydrated is crucial, especially during physical activity. Optional Items: * Tennis Balls: While I will provide balls during the lesson, having your own can be convenient for practice. * Visor or Hat: To protect your eyes from the sun. * Sunglasses: For added eye protection. * Wristband or Towel: To wipe sweat. Important Note: * Racquet Size: For beginners, it's often recommended to start with a larger head size racquet, as it provides a larger sweet spot, making it easier to hit the ball cleanly. By having these items, you can focus on learning and enjoying the game without any distractions.

Personal racket(s), hydration, appropriate clothing (for the weather), any personal medical equipment (inhalers, braces, pills, etc), sunscreen, sunglasses, sweat towels for hand & forehead), light snacks, moleskin (for hotspots on feet). Journals are encouraged (to include pen/pencil) unless students use a digital device to make notes. If students desire to record portions of their session, they can bring devices to do so. Students need to understand their learning style and bring additional items that facilitate learning. Umbrellas are encouraged to aid in cooling the body and minimizing the possibility of dehydration and heat exhaustion.

My lesson plan is the same for all ages, but I adjust based on where the student is at in their development. If a student is just starting out, I will scale back significantly. Coaching a younger student is only as successful as the parents’ participation to helping the student understand more and more outside of lessons.
