In the first session, my goal is to make beginners feel comfortable and confident. We start with a light warm-up, learn the court layout, and practice how to hold the paddle and hit forehands and backhands. I keep it fun and simple, and we get rallying right away—even if it’s just a few hits over the net. The focus is on movement, balance, and having fun while getting familiar with the basics. I will also be accessing your level and giving you feedback.
At this point, students are more comfortable with gameplay. We focus on building muscle memory, refining technique, and understanding game strategy. I also include more movement-based drills, court positioning, and practice matches to prep them for social or competitive play. Every session stays tailored to their pace, health, and goals.
These lessons go deeper into shot control, third shot drops, volleys, resets, and basic doubles strategy. I tailor the pace to the student’s comfort and mobility level. We also start improving fitness, balance, and strength through warm-ups and drills. Everything stays personalized and fun, so the student grows technically and physically with each session.
Now we build on what they’ve learned. I introduce serving, returning, dinks, and the kitchen rules. We also do light footwork and movement drills to improve coordination and court awareness. Students can expect more hitting time, fun mini-games, and easy scoring practice to build confidence and consistency.
