Beginner training plan
Your first lessonBeginners need to learn coordination and timing before even picking up a raquet. Performing eye/ball/hand coordination exercises such as Hit and Catch and simple raquet holding and hitting techniques are the most important part of the game!
Lesson 2-3Basic rallying and fun excercises like Around the World, Dinks, 21s, and Bluff. Games like these help students get a feel for the ball and raquet while also focusing on consistant placement and control rather than just harder hits!
Lesson 4-10Learning how a match works and teaching how to do a basic over-hand serve (from No-mans Land or volley line if needed for kids).
Lesson 11+Using these skills and techniques and developing a consistent approach at the game and teaching more strategies and games to improve students skill!
What you need to bringStudents should bring athletic gear and a tennis raquet is preferred.
Other important things would be water, sun protection, and be ready to have fun!
What I can bringI can bring tennis balls as of right now but I am flexible and am willing to figure things out if my students need equipment!
