Beginner training plan
Your first lessonEstablish the basics of grips, swing mechanics and footwork. This will primarily be done through hand feeding, as to develop confidence.
Lesson 2-3Building on the first lessons, we will continue to work on the basics of groundstrokes, now incorporating some movement side to side while hitting.
Lesson 4-10By this point, hopefully the student will have a decent grasp of the fundamentals, and can begin live ball of some sort. Likely involves rallying with me.
At the same time, we can start introducing serves. In my opinion, the most difficult thing for beginners to learn correctly.
Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, it’s especially important to incorporate fun games and activities. The most important thing is that the student has fun, and wants to continue playing.
Working with teenagersAs a teenager myself, I recognize that treating them with respect is the most effective. Should I work with a teenager, I would treat them as I would anybody else.
