Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn my first lesson, we will start with how to grip the racket. This is the most fundamental step in your tennis journey. If time allows, we will begin practicing “shadow swings” without the ball.
Lesson 2-3Next, we will work on swing technique on the forehand and backhand side. We will begin striking the tennis ball, but it will be fed with a soft hand toss to ease the player into the motion.
Lesson 4-10Next, we will progress to making contact with a ball that is hit at you from the other side of the net. These balls will be coming faster, so it is important that we take this time to ensure that your technique is sound. Most of these lessons will consist of forehand and backhand drills to get as much repetition as possible. We will also begin working on the serve technique.
Lesson 11+Finally, we will progress to open point play. This is where we will work on creating and maintaining a live ball rally with each other using the technique we learned in previous lessons.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonAt first, we will start with a few basket-fed drills so I can get a good baseline for the player. I always like to see the forehand, backhand, and serve form before I suggest any significant changes (if necessary).
