Beginner training plan
Your first lessonAll lessons are customized to fit your progression and skill level but in general, in our first lesson, we will follow my time-tested beginner curriculum, customized to your skill and previous knowledge. We will practice hitting at the net, serves and returns to understand the basic hits, move onto a court diagram where we will go over rules, scoring, and basic strategy. Then we will implement them in a mini game at the net to go over any and all questions about scoring and rules, followed by a full game to practice everything we learned.
Lesson 11+In later series of lessons, we will work on the nuances of the game, focusing on what you in particular need to work on from my own diagnostics as well as from your experiences out on your own in games!
Lesson 4-10Once we feel more confident and are hitting our basic shots consistently, we will add in more difficult shots like the drop shot, defending sped ups, and volleys.
Lesson 2-3The next series of lessons will focus on form and gaining confidence hitting a variety of shots with consistency and a high margin for error.
