Your first lessonGet them familiar with the court and basic rules of the game. Help them understand how to play so they can play with friends. Teach them how to hold paddle, how to swing and where to make contact.
Lesson 11+Working on what weaknesses are. If it’s quicker hands establishing a drill for that. Work on driving the ball and getting topspin. Work on drops and aggressive dinking. Work on strategy.
Lesson 4-10Focusing on getting to the kitchen and the transition zone. Footwork as well as working on drops and getting to the kitchen. Playing some games where they have to work on getting into the kitchen line. One person at kitchen line other at baseline. From kitchen you keep person back. From baseline have to work on coming up.
Lesson 2-3Working on beginner shots. Focusing on dinks, serves and returns. Working a little bit on volleys as well. Cross court dinks and then down the line dinks. Aim for a target.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonGet a gauge of how advanced you are. I’m a 5.4+ in doubles and singles but have been hurt for a bit so my dupr dropped. See if they want to work on singles or doubles and figure out what their weaknesses and strengths are.
