Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I focus on making the player comfortable, understanding their goals, and assessing their current level. I introduce basic fundamentals such as grips, ready position, footwork, forehand, backhand and simple rallying. I keep the lesson positive, clear, and encouraging so the player leaves with confidence and excitement to keep learning
Lesson 2-3In lessons 2-3, players can expect to build consistency with basic strokes and improve hand-eye coordination, movement, and court positioning. I use simple drills, games and individualized feedback to help students understand proper techniques while still having fun. I also begin introducing scoring, rally control, and match awareness.
Lesson 4-10From lessons 4-10, players will continue developing forehand, backhand, soft game, serves, and footwork through more structured drills. I focus on improving consistency, confidence, and decision-making during rallies. Students can also expect more live-ball practice, point-play situations, and basic match strategy as they become more comfortable on court.
Lesson 11+For later lessons, i help players continue progressing based on their goals and needs, whether that means recreational play, match preparation, or competitive development. Lessons include more advanced stroke technique, serving, returning, footwork patterns, point construction, and mental toughness. I also continue giving personalized feedback so each player can build onto it.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFor the first lesson, I start by evaluating the player’s current level through warm-up rallies, dinks, volleys, serves, returns, and point play. Since they are advanced players, I focus less on basic technique and more on decision-making, consistency under pressure, shot selection, court positioning, and doubles strategy. I also ask about their goals, tournament experience, strengths, and weaknesses so I can build a training plan around their specific needs.
Some drills I like to use in the first lesson include cross-court dink rallies, third-shot drop assessment, transition-zone resets, hand-speed volley exchanges, and structured point play. These help me quickly understand the player’s control, footwork, reaction speed, and tactical awareness.
Lesson 2-3In lessons 2–3, players can expect more focused technical and tactical work based on what I saw in the first lesson. I usually target one or two key areas, such as improving third-shot drops, attacking from the kitchen line, resetting under pressure, or becoming more consistent in transition.
My favorite drills for this stage include third-shot drop plus crash, dink-to-attack patterns, speed-up and counter drills, and reset drills from mid-court. I also include situational doubles points so players can practice choosing when to defend, attack, or slow the point down.
Lesson 4-10From lessons 4–10, the training becomes more match-specific. I focus on building advanced patterns, improving consistency in longer rallies, and helping players become more confident during competitive play. We work on serve-and-return depth, third-shot decision-making, kitchen control, poaching, stacking basics if needed, and communication with a doubles partner.
Drills may include live-ball pattern drills, skinny singles, cross-court dink battles, hands battles at the kitchen, transition-zone survival, and point play with specific goals. I also give feedback after points so players understand not just what happened, but why it happened.
Lesson 11+For ongoing lessons, I focus on long-term player development and competitive performance. At this stage, players can expect advanced strategy, pressure-based drills, match analysis, tournament preparation, and mental toughness training. I help players refine their strengths while improving weak areas that show up during real games.
Lessons may include game-style scenarios, partner movement drills, advanced attacking and countering patterns, serve/return strategy, and full match play with coaching feedback. My goal is to help advanced players become smarter, more consistent, and more confident competitors.
