Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIntroduction & Fundamentals
Players learn the court layout, scoring basics, and rules, along with proper grip, stance, and footwork. They practice simple forehand and backhand groundstrokes and begin rallying cooperatively without focusing on net play.
Lesson 2-3Serving & Return of Serve
Focus is on developing a legal, consistent underhand serve and a deep, controlled return of serve. Players learn the double-bounce rule, practice serve-and-return drills, and begin short rallies that always start with a serve sequence.
Lesson 4-10Core Skills & Strategy
Players develop essential strokes such as dinks, volleys, third-shot drops, lobs, and overheads while learning court positioning and net play. They practice crosscourt and cooperative rallies, serve–return–third shot progressions, and partner communication, gradually moving from cooperative to competitive play.
Lesson 11+Advanced Play & Competitive Situations
The emphasis shifts to advanced shot selection, resets, and speed-ups, along with doubles formations, anticipation, and adapting strategies. Players refine their mental game and practice through tournament-style play, focusing on confidence, patience, and decision-making under pressure.
