Coach Al has always been attentive and patient. He’s very good at planning each session to your personal speed so that the tennis lessons are both fun and helpful and then he adds games to each lesson, which makes them even more fun!
Mom of 9 year old Son
Our 9 year old child took tennis lessons with Coach Al for about one year, 1-2 times per week. During this time we noticed a marked improvement in his tennis skills. Coach Al encouraged him to practice and connected with him. He didn’t only coach tennis but also taught him life lessons. He is known as one of the best tennis coaches. We highly recommend Him without hesitation!
Frank
He’s entertaining! He’s very knowledgeable. He teaches a lot of things about life in general, not just the skills involved in tennis!
Nina
Every day you will look forward to playing tennis with Coach Al. He makes tennis super fun! You will improve greatly at tennis while you play with him. He also will teach you many things and you will gain lots of wisdom. Thank You Coach Al!
Morgyn
I am a member of my High School’s Tennis Team. Coach Al has been coaching me for a few months, however, I’ve seen so much improvement in my game! His individualized lessons have really helped me advance my tennis game. During our time together we primarily worked on form and general game play. His upbeat demeanor made him a pleasure to work with. He gave me clear and kind instructions and helped me to love the game even more!
Angel
He is the one for you. I’d like to recommend a Coach, now-friend. He has a natural excitement and passion for the game of tennis. Any goals you have, whether it be recreational or competitive tennis, call on Coach Al. His coaching style is second to none. He is genuine and compassionate and brings out the best in you. You think you’re there just for tennis, but he has a way of impacting you and you leave his presence a better person every single time, on top of your improved tennis skills. He is dedicated and always on time. He is the Coach of coaches. You will see yourself shining on the tennis courts in no time!
Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFirst and foremost I teach you with kindness, patience, empathy, compassion, respect, and encouragement. We initially talk about your racket: the basic grips, the sweet spot, and parts of the tennis racket. We then reveal the parts of the court and body movement/footwork. We then dribble a tennis ball several ways to develop eye-hand coordination. I then introduce the five basic tennis strokes: the forehand, backhand, volley, serve, and return serve. We then start with hitting tennis balls with the forehand and backhand techniques. If time allows, we hit some volleys at net.
Lesson 11+We review as needed, all five basic tennis strokes and everything else previously mentioned. We focus on the serve being the most valuable skill and the return of serve as second most important. We continue to develop and improve each stroke and progress into match play and competition while implementing the psychology of strategy and tactics involved in competition. We discuss developing a positive mental attitude and inner thinking/visualization to improve performance. Tennis drills are introduced and implemented throughout each stroke and session to improve performance and skill levels for each stroke. Everything is designed based upon the individual performance of each player considering their ability and desire.
Lesson 4-10We quickly review tennis grips, parts of the tennis court, and the five basic tennis strokes. We then develop the forehand and backhand ground strokes starting at Mid court and progressively improve them to work our way back to the baseline, and then we develop the net volley. I constantly demonstrate the technique involved in hitting each stroke properly. Starting around lesson five, I introduce the serve and break down each step focusing primarily on body positioning and movement and the ball lift/toss. I demonstrate the service motion and the technique of serving the ball forward and over the net and into the diagonal service box starting on the deuce court. Initially, we focus on body movement and the ball lift/toss and then I introduce scoring for each game in a set and each set in a tennis match. I quickly introduce the return of serve and then I demonstrate the simple technique. Throughout each session, I explain how and why we do each stroke in the process/context of match play. Additionally, I introduce intermediate techniques and strategies involving ball placement and body movement and positioning. All taught with kindness, empathy, and encouragement. At some point I will discuss Middle School, High School, Collegiate, and USTA Competitions and Tournaments and the goals needed to compete as desired by each of my students at each level of competition.
Lesson 2-3We review body movement to get to the ball. I quickly reveal the 3 primary tennis axioms and the two secondary axioms involved in match play. Then we review ball dribbling and then I start teaching the fundamental mechanics of the forehand and then the backhand and then the volley. I introduce the serve if there’s time.
