Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn a first lesson with a beginner tennis player I start with a quick warm-up so no one pulls a muscle on day one. Then I show you how to hold the racket using a basic grip and how to stand in the ready position. We introduce the forehand and backhand, but I focus on helping you make clean contact rather than hitting hard. I use short, controlled drills and hand-feed balls so you can succeed early and stay motivated. Throughout the lesson, I will give clear instructions and encourage you while at the same time making small corrections. We will finish with a quick recap so you leave feeling confident and excited to continue learning.
Lesson 2-3In the second and third lessons, we reinforce everything learned in lesson one, focusing on improving consistency, control, and overall confidence. We continue developing the forehand and backhand while introducing more movement and simple rallying. Depending on the student’s pace of learning, we may begin to introduce volleys and serving, always prioritizing proper technique and comfort before increasing difficulty.
Lesson 4-10By the fourth to tenth lessons, I continue refining the technique and we start to gradually increase the level of difficulty. I place a strong emphasis on building confidence and maintaining high energy levels on the court. I develop this by helping you improve your timing of the ball, allowing you to feel more in control of each shot. I also introduce more movement and structured footwork patterns, guiding you to position yourself correctly and efficiently before each stroke!
Lesson 11+By lesson eleven you will feel super confident and ready for tournament!
