Learn Tennis with Alex
•
•
I actually didn't like tennis much when I first started at 8 years old - I'd swing, look around for the ball and find it stuck in the throat of my racquet. Having the right coach and mentor a few years later changed how I saw the game, and eventually how I saw myself. Though injuries and finances ultimately cut my junior career short, I continued to work on my skills and fitness, and found coaching as a way to share my passion with others who feel the same way. See you on the court!

Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, we’ll go over the basics of the forehand and backhand groundstrokes, including proper grips, swing path and body mechanics. If time permits, we’ll also begin to learn the serve.
Lesson 11+No player is complete without a strong front court game. It’s essential to learn how to hit volleys and overheads to close out a point. This can be scary for a beginner but it’s the most exciting part of the point once you know how it’s done.
Lesson 4-10Next it’s time to learn the serve. We’ll cover the stance, grip, toss, and racquet path to hit a proper first and second serve into the court.
We’ll also start to rally, first without and eventually with the serve. You’ll learn how to handle balls of varying heights, spins and directions to stay in the rally. The slice becomes an essential stroke to learn in order to handle difficult shots.
Lesson 2-3Next, we’ll learn to hit those groundstrokes on the move. We’ll cover some basic footwork patterns to ensure that we’re still able to hit with power and control moving forward or to the side.
