Beginner training plan
Your first lessonWe would talk about our approach to tennis which is, it is a game of motion and balance. We evaluate a student’s existing tennis ability and go over how we set up for the first two of the six shots we are looking to master, the forehand and the backhand.
Lesson 2-3We would continue work on the forehand and backhand working on “wait/weight on the ball” weight transfer techniques. By the end of lesson 3, the student would be refining their ready positions for shots and moving side to side, hitting groundstrokes with proper form.
Lesson 4-10From here, we would start to introduce the other main shots in tennis: the serve, the approach shot, the volley, the return of serve, the overhead and the drop shot. Out goal by the end of ten lessons will be to achieve some form of mastery of these eight shots.
Lesson 11+Whole continuing to work on improving the power, consistency and effectiveness of each shot, we’d like to attempt applying all the shots in game situations.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonWe would talk to the student about their goals for tennis and playing history, as well as any specific areas the player would like to improve near term.
Lesson 2-3Through hitting, we would evaluate each of the main eight shots: forehand , backhanded, approach shot , serve, volley , overhead, drop shot and return of serve. in detail
Lesson 4-10These lessons would include a progressively more difficult challenging review of the eight shots in fist half of lesson, and the 2nd half is point situations, starting with both rally and serve.
Lesson 11+We will work on ratcheting up the power and intensity, as well as match preparation and specific game strategy.
Youth players
Working with teenagersI talk to the student and see what they want to achieve with their tennis. I want to still go through the progressions of executing the main shots, but also incorporate some game situations.
What you need to bringTennis shoes, racket, hat/sunscreen when hot, water/drinks
