Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe’ll start by assessing the player’s current skill level, confidence, and comfort on court. I focus on identifying which foundational strokes (forehand, backhand, serve) need the most attention and provide a clear breakdown of what to expect going forward.
Lesson 2-3We begin to reinforce proper technique and footwork fundamentals, correcting habits and building confidence through simple rally patterns and repetition-based drills.
Lesson 4-10Players can expect noticeable improvement in timing, consistency, and placement. We’ll introduce live-ball rallying, directional control, and some intro-level point play.
Lesson 11+At this stage, players will have a solid technical base and the confidence to rally, serve, and compete casually. I also introduce situational strategies to prepare them for match play and social games.

Advanced training plan
Your first lessonAs a former Division I and professional player, I begin by hitting with the client to evaluate their overall game—technical strengths, consistency under pressure, and tactical awareness. Based on this assessment, I tailor a plan that targets their specific goals and development areas.
Lesson 2-3We begin refining technique across all major strokes, improving shot variety, and enhancing footwork efficiency. Players will be challenged with point-based drills and fed live balls to simulate real match conditions.
Lesson 4-10The focus intensifies on advanced rally patterns, strategic shot placement, and match play scenarios. We’ll work on developing weapons (like a dominant forehand or kick serve), handling pace, and reading opponents.
Lesson 11+Players will compete at a higher intensity with a deeper understanding of point construction, mental focus, and endurance. I emphasize match toughness, anticipation, and adapting strategies—ideal for tournament players or those aiming for college/pro-level competition.

Tiffany
I’d been stuck at the same level for years before finding Jabari. He pinpointed exactly what was holding my game back and gave me a real plan to fix it. My footwork, court positioning, and mental game have all leveled up. He brings pro-level knowledge and genuine passion to every single session.
Danielle
Working with a coach who actually played professionally makes such a difference. Jabari broke down my serve and backhand in ways no one ever had before. Within a few weeks I was winning more points in my recreational matches and feeling so much more confident out there.
Nicole
I was super nervous starting out — I barely knew how to hold a racket. Jabari was so patient and made every lesson feel safe and fun. He travels right to my neighborhood which made it so easy to commit. I’m now rallying back and forth consistently and my family can’t believe how fast I’ve improved.
Mark
I had never picked up a racket before working with Jabari. He made me feel completely comfortable from day one and broke everything down in a way that actually made sense. After just a few lessons I’m rallying consistently and I genuinely look forward to every session.
Rachel
Jabari is patient, encouraging, and incredibly knowledgeable. As a 2.5 level player I wasn’t sure what to work on — he came in with a clear plan and my consistency and footwork have improved so much. He travels to you which makes it so easy to stay consistent.
Brian
Jabari immediately identified exactly what my game needed. My forehand has never felt cleaner, and by our second session my fitness and confidence on the court had already taken a noticeable jump. The energy during our sessions is incredible — every lesson feels competitive and fun. Can’t wait to keep going.
