Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFIRST LESSON
Focus on building comfort, confidence, and basic coordination. We’ll introduce the fundamentals: proper grip, ready position, and simple forehand/backhand movements. Players will learn key court terminology (baseline, service line, deuce/ad side) while working through hand-fed drills and controlled repetitions. The goal is to build a strong technical foundation and get the ball over the net consistently while developing a feel for the game.
Lesson 2-3We continue building on the fundamentals introduced in the first lesson. Players will reinforce proper grips, ready position, and stroke mechanics while improving consistency through repetition and hand-fed drills. We’ll introduce footwork patterns, spacing to the ball, and proper contact points. Players will also begin learning the basics of the serve and return, along with additional court terminology and simple scoring concepts. The focus is on developing control, confidence, and a more consistent ability to rally.
Lesson 4-10Players begin turning fundamentals into consistency and control. We’ll continue refining grip, footwork, and stroke mechanics while introducing directional control (crosscourt vs. down the line) and better spacing to the ball. Players will develop more reliable serves and returns, learn proper point structure, and gain a clear understanding of scoring. Drills become more rally-based with an emphasis on consistency, movement, and making clean contact under light pressure. The goal is to build confidence sustaining rallies and begin applying fundamentals in point play.
