Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor a beginner, I will begin by drilling forehands and backhands. I will offer tips about technique and footwork while they are drilling. I will also assess the serve/teach the individual how to serve.
Lesson 2-3Lessons two and three will be similar to lesson 1. It is important to reinforce the techniques and movements we worked on from the first lessons to ensure the student masters these tips.
Lesson 4-10At this point, I will provide for specific drills for the student and further improve their serve. Once they are ready, I will begin live ball with the student to help them get a sense of what it feels like to play points in tennis.
Lesson 11+Once we get past 10 lessons, the student should be able to comfortably hit the tennis ball and have a sense of why and how they are hitting the ball in a certain direction. There is always room to improve. When one part of the technique is improved, I may realize that footwork needs improved. This process continues, and over time, the individual will start to feel very comfortable hitting the tennis ball with speed and accuracy.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonFor the first lessons, I will still have to get a sense of this person’s playing style and level of advancement. I will do quick drills on the forehand, backhand, volleys, and overheads. I will also assess the serve.
