Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on fundamentals, comfort, and confidence.
We begin with movement and athletic positioning before introducing strokes. Players learn the ready position, basic footwork, and how to properly hold the racquet (grip fundamentals). From there, we introduce the forehand using simple progressions — shadow swings, drop feeds, and cooperative rallying from the service line.
The goal of the first session is:
• Establish correct grip and contact point
• Introduce ready position and split step
• Achieve a short rally from the service line
• Build confidence and enjoyment
I prioritize simple cues, repetition, and measurable goals! Power is not emphasized, consistency and clean contact come first.
Lesson 11+Beyond lesson 10, training becomes more personalized and performance-focused.
Areas of development may include:
• Shot selection and point construction
• Consistency under pressure
• Improved serve reliability and spin
• Defensive and offensive positioning
• Match strategy fundamentals
• Footwork speed and recovery patterns
Sessions increasingly resemble real match play while continuing technical refinement.
At this stage, the goal is to:
• Sustain longer rallies
• Play full sets confidently
• Develop a dependable serve
• Understand tactical decision-making
Lesson 4-10This phase transitions from technique introduction to consistency and point awareness.
Focus areas include:
• Baseline rally development
• Serve progression (rhythm, contact, basic placement)
• Introduction to volleys and net positioning
• Directional control (crosscourt vs down-the-line)
• Basic scoring and match structure
• Court positioning fundamentals
Players begin playing controlled points and structured mini-games to apply skills under light pressure.
By lesson 10, most players can:
• Rally from the baseline with moderate consistency
• Serve into the correct service box
• Understand scoring and play short practice games
• Maintain athletic movement and recovery positioning
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3 build on foundational mechanics while introducing additional strokes.
Players will:
• Reinforce forehand fundamentals
• Learn the backhand (one or two-handed depending on comfort)
• Improve rally consistency from the service line
• Begin learning basic serve mechanics (toss + contact)
• Continue developing footwork and split step timing
We gradually increase distance toward the baseline while maintaining control. Emphasis remains on balance, contact point, and repeatable swing patterns.
By the end of lesson 3, most beginners can:
• Rally 8–12 balls from the service line
• Demonstrate proper ready position before each shot
• Execute basic serve motion with correct grip
