Beginner training plan

Your first lessonIn the first lesson, I focus on building trust and making the player feel comfortable on court. I assess coordination, grip, swing path, and movement using simple rally-based games, shadow swings, and drop-hit forehands. The goal is to keep it fun while introducing the basics of tennis in a pressure-free way.

Lesson 11+At this stage, the player is rallying with purpose and beginning to play full points. We dive deeper into strategy, court positioning, and consistency under pressure. Lessons become more tailored to the player’s goals—whether it’s competition, fitness, or just improvement. I continue to reinforce technique while pushing overall development and confidence.

Lesson 4-10By now we’re developing more structured strokes and movement. We work on serve progressions, directional hitting, point play patterns, and recovery steps. I also begin light scoring drills and introduce rally-based fitness. The goal here is to build a complete foundation of technique and game awareness.

Lesson 2-3We start building consistency with forehands, backhands, and basic volleys through rally games, drop feeds, and basket drills. I introduce the ready position, split step, and footwork patterns. These sessions focus on rhythm, contact point, and developing confidence with live ball hitting.

Youth players

Working with kidsI always aim to give players a 5-star experience every time they’re on court. I build strong relationships with the U10 group and make sure they feel comfortable, supported, and engaged.

How it works

Working with teenagersI feel comfortable running drills and explaining things clearly so players stay active and understand what to do. I adjust drills based on age and skill level and keep up with new ideas

What you need to bringAll you need is a positive attitude, tennis shoes, water, and a racket if you have one (don’t worry — I have extras if needed). Most importantly, bring your energy and a real desire to learn. I’ll provide the rest!

What I can bringI come fully equipped for all levels of training. I have a variety of rackets (including extras for players), red/orange/green/yellow balls, speed ladders, jump ropes, dumbbells, and a Lobster ball machine for feeding and drills. Whether we’re working on footwork, consistency, or advanced shot placement, I’ve got the tools to support your goals.

💰$75 weekly lessons

With 8 years of coaching experience and 15 years on the court, I have a deep understanding of both the technical and strategic aspects of tennis. My competitive journey began in high school, where I went undefeated and won league championships, and continued through two years at the collegiate level. These experiences have shaped my coaching philosophy and helped me connect with players of all skill levels. I currently coach full-time at a premier tennis facility in New York, where I work with players of all ages, especially those in the under-10 development pathway. Whether you’re just starting out or looking to fine-tune your game, I’m committed to helping you improve, build confidence, and reach your goals on the court.
