Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor a first lesson with a beginner, I focus on creating a positive, low-pressure environment that builds confidence and introduces the basics. I start by learning about the player’s goals and experience, then move into a light warm-up and simple footwork.
From there, I introduce core fundamentals like grip, ready position, and forehand technique using short, controlled drills. I keep instruction simple, focus on one or two key points, and give lots of encouragement. The goal is to make the game feel approachable, enjoyable, and to build a strong foundation for future lessons.
Lesson 4-10Lesson 4: • Reinforce forehand and backhand with more rally-based drills.
• Introduce the basic serve motion (starting with shadow swings, then slow feeds).
• Emphasize toss consistency and proper contact point.
Lesson 5: Build confidence with the serve through repetition.
• Introduce return of serve using simple feeds.
• Combine serve + return into mini-points or cooperative play.
• Continue developing consistency on groundstrokes.
Lesson 2-3For the second lesson: In the second lesson, I reinforce the fundamentals introduced in Lesson 1—especially grip, stance, and the forehand. I review with warm-up drills and then introduce the backhand. We work on consistent contact and controlled rallying, using simple feeding drills. I also introduce basic footwork patterns and start building rally awareness. The focus stays on repetition, comfort, and confidence.
For the third lesson: In the third lesson, I continue developing groundstrokes (forehand and backhand) with more live-ball movement. I introduce the concept of recovery position and court awareness, gradually adding more dynamic footwork. Players may start short rallying with me or a partner. If they’re ready, I introduce basic volleys or the serve in a very simplified form. The goal is to increase consistency, build rhythm, and deepen their understanding of the game.
