Beginner training plan
Your first lessonI ask them about their experience playing tennis or any other sports and navigate a plan based on that information. Plus I ask them what they want to focus on. Use transit balls
Lesson 11+Help them build confidence on all the fundamentals of tennis. By now they should have defined some goals based on what they feel they need to practice on. Introducing more advanced shots like drop shot, kick serve, top spin, and getting the player used to a more competitive playing.
Lesson 4-10Full exposure to the basic rules of the game, work on serves, returns, foot work, volleys. Once the student has demonstrated some control of the ball, introduce them to some basic components of strategy. Encourage good etiquette, especially on calling balls in/out
Lesson 2-3Highlight the value of a good warm up activity. Building on the fundamentals of short control shots near the next, cover the 4 basic components of any hit for baseline shots and those closer to the net. If the student is ready introduce the player to the next level of transition balls.
What you need to bringGood tennis court shoes, water, hat and sunglasses if the sun is out. Comfortable athletic clothes.
What I can bringI have some spare tennis racquets, balls and some teaching props
