Beginner training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on creating a fun, comfortable, and confidence-building experience. We start by learning proper grip, athletic stance, footwork, and basic swing fundamentals while introducing simple rally drills and ball control exercises. I also evaluate coordination, movement, and experience level so future lessons can be personalized to the student’s goals. The main goal is helping beginners feel relaxed, improve consistency, and enjoy the game from day one.
Lesson 2-3Lessons 2–3 build on the fundamentals introduced in the first session. Players begin developing more consistency on forehands, backhands, serves, and movement while learning proper contact points and court positioning. Drills become more interactive and game-based to improve confidence, timing, and rally skills. Students also begin learning scoring, strategy basics, and how to sustain longer rallies.
Lesson 4-10Lessons 4–10 focus on building consistency, movement, technique refinement, and match confidence. Players continue improving groundstrokes, serves, volleys, and footwork while adding directional control, shot placement, and live point play. Conditioning and agility drills may also be incorporated to improve athletic performance and endurance. By this stage, students typically feel much more comfortable rallying, understanding strategy, and playing recreational matches.
Lesson 11+Lessons 11+ are designed around long-term development and individual goals. Training becomes more personalized with advanced drills, match strategy, consistency under pressure, fitness integration, and overall game improvement. Players continue refining technique while improving confidence, decision-making, movement efficiency, and competitive play. The goal is to help each student continue progressing while keeping lessons challenging, productive, and enjoyable.
Advanced training plan
Your first lessonThe first lesson focuses on building comfort, confidence, and strong fundamentals. We’ll go over grip, footwork, basic strokes, movement, and rallying while keeping the session fun and encouraging. I also evaluate the player’s athletic level, coordination, and goals to create a personalized training plan moving forward.
Lesson 2-3During the second and third lessons, beginners can expect to improve consistency, timing, movement, and overall ball control. We’ll continue developing forehands, backhands, serves, and volleys while introducing live rally drills, point play, and footwork exercises to build confidence on the court.
Lesson 4-10By lessons four through ten, players can expect more advanced drills focused on consistency, technique refinement, shot placement, strategy, movement, and match awareness. Sessions become more game-based and fitness-focused while continuing to improve confidence, control, and overall athletic performance.
Lesson 11+After lesson ten, training becomes more personalized toward the player’s goals whether that’s match play, league competition, fitness, advanced technique, or overall consistency. Lessons continue evolving with higher-level drills, strategy, mental focus, movement training, and competitive development to help players reach the next level.
Youth players
Working with kidsI adapt lessons for kids by keeping sessions fun, active, and encouraging while still teaching strong fundamentals. I use age-appropriate drills, games, and positive reinforcement to help build confidence, coordination, focus, and a love for the game. My goal is to create a supportive environment where kids can improve skills, stay engaged, and enjoy learning tennis and pickleball.
Working with teenagersI adapt lessons for teenagers by focusing on skill development, footwork, match strategy, confidence, and overall athletic performance. I create high-energy, challenging sessions tailored to each player’s goals and skill level while keeping lessons motivating and enjoyable. My goal is to help teenage players improve consistency, technique, and competitive confidence both on and off the court.
What you need to bringStudents should bring athletic clothing, tennis shoes or court shoes, water, and a positive attitude ready to learn and improve. If you already have your own racquet or paddle, feel free to bring it, but equipment can also be provided if needed.
What I can bringI can provide tennis and pickleball equipment during lessons including racquets/paddles, training balls, cones, targets, agility equipment, and drills tailored to each player’s skill level. I focus on creating fun, organized, and professional sessions for all ages and levels.
