Beginner training plan
Your first lessonDiscuss coaching goals for the player, racquet / paddle sport history and relevant experience, proper paddle grip style, pre-game warmups, skill assessments, basic rules and shot selection, serving.
For first lessons, I use the Play-Practice-Play model, so students can feel immediate areas of improvement for their skills.
Lesson 2-3By this time, we should understand your competencies and areas for improvement. Lessons will focus on basic form and body mechanics, strategic concepts, unforced error reduction.
Lessons 2-3 are as much about success seeking and highlighting a players strong traits as they are about limiting unforced errors.
Lesson 4-10Drills and exercises which mimic in-game scenarios that a student will encounter, decision making, technique improvement, video analysis, gameplay with other players your skill level to address the highest areas for potential improvement.
Lesson 11+Targeted improvement strategies to elevate what players do Video feedback and "homework assignments" for areas of improvement and continuous feedback.
At this stage, we will frequently focus on one skill for an entire session.
