Beginner training plan
Your first lessonDuring the first lesson, I focus on making tennis fun, welcoming, and easy to understand while evaluating the player’s athletic background, coordination, and current skill level. Beginners will learn proper grip fundamentals, ready position, footwork basics, forehand and backhand technique, and simple rallying drills. I also introduce basic court positioning, tennis scoring, and hand-eye coordination exercises. My goal is for every beginner to leave the first lesson feeling more confident, comfortable, and excited to continue improving.
Lesson 2-3During lessons two and three, beginners start building consistency and confidence through repetition-based drills and movement training. Players continue developing forehands, backhands, serves, volleys, and footwork while learning how to rally more consistently from the baseline. I introduce fun live-ball drills, target games, movement exercises, and point-play situations to help players begin understanding strategy and court awareness. By the end of these lessons, most beginners are already able to sustain short rallies and feel significantly more comfortable on the court.
Lesson 4-10Lessons four through ten focus on building strong technical fundamentals, improving movement efficiency, increasing consistency, and developing match confidence. Players work on serve development, directional control, rally tolerance, approach shots, volleys, overheads, and point construction. I incorporate competitive drills, situational games, fitness-based movement exercises, and beginner match play to accelerate improvement. Players also begin learning smarter shot selection, recovery positioning, and how to build points strategically rather than simply hitting the ball back.
