Beginner training plan
Your first lessonCOACHING BUILT AROUND YOU
Sessions run 60–90 minutes and start with a conversation. What do you want to work on? Where are you stuck? What's the goal?
We'll assess your current game, athletic background, and learning style, then build a plan together.
First, we'll cover the fundamentals: rules, scoring, positioning, court awareness, grips, ready position, and basic stroke mechanics. You'll learn not just what to do, but why.
I'm an excellent diagnostician. Most beginners leave their first lesson with more than just a handful of new skills—they leave understanding the game in a way that accelerates future improvement.
Lesson 2-3BUILDING A FOUNDATION THAT LASTS
Now we'll refine your forehand and backhand, develop a reliable serve and return, and introduce movement patterns that make the game easier and more enjoyable.
We'll focus on:
* Consistency before power
* Court positioning
* Footwork fundamentals
* Transitioning safely to the kitchen line
* Beginning doubles strategy
You'll start feeling more comfortable in real games and less overwhelmed by the pace of play.
YOU’LL LEAVE SMARTER TOO, NOT JUST BETTER!
Lesson 4-10FROM PLAYER TO COMPETITOR
This is where the game gets fun.
We'll develop your dinks, volleys, resets, blocks, and directional control while introducing higher-level tactical concepts.
You'll learn:
* Shot selection
* Pattern recognition
* Doubles communication
* Offensive vs. defensive decision-making
* How to create pressure without taking unnecessary risks
Most players see dramatic improvements in confidence and consistency during this phase.
Lesson 11+PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER
Through guided gameplay, situational drilling, and live coaching, we'll integrate everything you've learned.
We'll continue refining:
* Advanced shot placement
* Lobs, overheads, and spin
* Match strategy
* Mental toughness
* Competitive preparation
Whether your goal is league play, tournament play, or simply becoming the player everyone hates seeing across the net, we'll get you there.
