In the first lesson, I focus on making the player comfortable, understanding their goals, and assessing their current level. I introduce basic fundamentals such as grips, ready position, footwork, forehand, backhand and simple rallying. I keep the lesson positive, clear, and encouraging so the player leaves with confidence and excitement to keep learning
In lessons 2-3, players can expect to build consistency with basic strokes and improve hand-eye coordination, movement, and court positioning. I use simple drills, games and individualized feedback to help students understand proper techniques while still having fun. I also begin introducing scoring, rally control, and match awareness.
From lessons 4-10, players will continue developing forehand, backhand, soft game, serves, and footwork through more structured drills. I focus on improving consistency, confidence, and decision-making during rallies. Students can also expect more live-ball practice, point-play situations, and basic match strategy as they become more comfortable on court.
For later lessons, i help players continue progressing based on their goals and needs, whether that means recreational play, match preparation, or competitive development. Lessons include more advanced stroke technique, serving, returning, footwork patterns, point construction, and mental toughness. I also continue giving personalized feedback so each player can build onto it.
