Beginner training plan
Your first lessonFor the first lesson, I focus on introducing the basic rules and equipment, including the paddle, ball, and court layout. I start with a warm-up, followed by teaching the proper grip, stance, and basic forehand and backhand strokes. I end the lesson with light rallying to practice control and positioning, ensuring that students understand the concept of the non-volley zone (kitchen) and basic court movement.
Lesson 11+We put everything together in live play situations, practicing match scenarios and integrating lessons from previous lessons. I focus on adapting to different playing styles, managing point flow, and implementing strategies. I conduct situational drills to practice shot selection, decision-making, and applying techniques under pressure.
Lesson 4-10I introduce basic strategies for shot selection based on opponent positioning. We practice hitting to open spaces, utilizing deep shots to the baseline, and recognizing when to attack or reset the point. I also emphasize the importance of keeping opponents off balance with variety.
Lesson 2-3I like to build on the basics by introducing the serve and return of serve. Focus on developing consistency with forehand and backhand groundstrokes, emphasizing proper footwork, grip, and stroke technique. I also introduce the concept of dinking, with drills to improve soft hands and control at the net, encouraging players to maintain a low, balanced stance.
