Beginner training plan
Your first lessonIn the first lesson, the focus is on making the student comfortable with the basics of tennis. This includes learning how to hold the racquet properly, understanding basic footwork, and getting a feel for hitting the ball. The lesson typically involves simple hand-eye coordination drills, basic strokes (forehand and backhand), and an introduction to rallying with a coach-fed ball. The goal is to build confidence and excitement for learning the game.
Lesson 11+Drills will become more advanced, incorporating topspin, slice, and directional control. Players will learn to construct points, anticipate their opponent’s moves, and develop their playing style.
Lesson 4-10During this stage, players will work on improving stroke consistency, footwork, and ball control. The serve will become more structured, with a focus on toss placement and motion.Rallying will become longer and more competitive, preparing them for basic point play. Introduction to match rules and scoring may also begin.
Lesson 2-3By the second and third lessons, beginners can expect to refine their forehand and backhand with better technique and consistency. They will also be introduced to the basic mechanics of the serve and learn how to control ball placement. Drills will start incorporating movement and simple rallying

Youth players
Working with kidsWhen working with kids, I focus on making lessons fun, engaging, and easy to understand. Drills are often turned into games to keep their attention and encourage enthusiasm. Instead of emphasizing technique too early, I prioritize hand-eye coordination, basic movement, and simple rallying to build confidence. I also use positive reinforcement and keep instructions short and clear to maintain their focus. The key is creating an environment where they enjoy learning and stay motivated to improve.
