Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI would ask my student what they want to achieve in this sport. From there I would move into variations of feeding and/or rallying, incorporating small goals to keep them engaged and motivated.
Lesson 11+Now that the body has been properly equipped I will train the mind and teach strategies to my student on patterns, and plays that are successful and necessary in tennis. Also continuing to develop stronger overall shots.
Lesson 4-10Directing the ball as well as the technical aspect of volleys, overheads and serves would be introduced but still mainly working on strengthening groundstrokes through rotation, footwork and proper technique.
Lesson 2-3I would dive deeper into the technique behind groundstrokes and proper preparation to develop good habits in the future.
Youth players
Working with kidsI would incorporate mini goals and games throughout the lesson to keep them engaged and having fun. I bring a lot of energy to the lesson that in the past has rubbed off on my students.
Working with teenagersI would incorporate more competitive games while still teaching the basic concepts of tennis. I would ask them what is their strongest and weakest part of their game and work on how to fix it.
