Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn a first lesson for beginners, I focus on making the game fun and approachable. We start with a brief explanation of the game’s objective: hit the ball over the net and keep it in play. After a light warm-up, I introduce the court layout and equipment,
I then teach basic strokes—forehand and backhand—using the easy "Eastern Grip," and emphasize control over power. I also demonstrate the underhand serve and the return of serve, focusing on accuracy. The lesson ends with simple drills and positive feedback, helping the player feel confident and ready to play.
Lesson 11+In the remaining lessons, players will focus on mastering techniques and applying them in game situations. Expect to work on advanced strategies, such as anticipation, shot placement, and court awareness. There will be continued practice of volleying, dinking, and overhead shots.
As lessons progress, there will be more emphasis on doubles play and partner coordination, with drills designed to improve communication and positioning. Players will also participate in full gameplay to build confidence, refine skills, and develop match strategies. By the end, players should feel comfortable in competitive settings and be able to play confidently with consistent technique and solid game sense.
Lesson 4-10From the fourth to the tenth lesson, beginners will refine their skills and focus on game strategy. Lessons will cover advanced dinking, overhead shots, volley techniques, and serve variations. Players will practice court positioning and partner communication for doubles. By the tenth lesson, they'll play more practice games, focusing on consistency and strategy, preparing for real matches with greater confidence
