Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIntroduction to me and getting to know the students. I cover grips, swing path, finish, timing, and mentality. Will often start with drop hand feeds, tosses, then some serving! Footwork will be touched upon and I will be speaking a lot in the first lesson to explain ideas and why I’m teaching it this way.
Lesson 11+More of the same. Games are sprinkled in here and there. Advanced shots are taught: slice, lob, drop shot, angle shots, return of serve. High intensity drills and cardio are demonstrated. New concepts are shown: loading, body weight transfer, stepping in, strategy, counting points. Intensity and level is raised to continue improvement.
Lesson 4-10As players progress, I start focusing on specifics. I will repeat and make sure concepts are taught and transferred over. Concepts such as rotation, body involvement, spin, brushing, are all focused on. Once this correct, I will do more feeds and hitting. Volleys and overheads are started. Games are added periodically.
Lesson 2-3More advanced hand feeds with some feeding incorporated depending on level. Progression of lesson 1. Touches upon new concepts: steps to run to a ball, intensity, ball tracking, spacing. More serve practice with correct fundamentals. One game is played at the end.

Working with kidsIt’s very important for me to feel it out with the kids I teach. First and foremost, I strive to make sure lessons are fun - incorporating various drills, asking questions, and playing games to keep lessons interesting. I adjust these methods to the kids’ interest and playing level. For example, if the kid is more focused and loves tennis I’ll work on technique, footwork, and strategy. If the kid is starting off, I incorporate more games and will be more sensitive to their needs.
Working with teenagersI use a similar model as I do with kids, but I tend to push my teens hard because I truly want them to get better. I tend to be more serious and competitive with this age group, but I always make sure my students are having a good time.
