An insight into my tennis lesson plans

I have recently added a page on my website that gives an insight into my tennis lesson plans. Lessons with myself, Liam Ellis, will involve groundstrokes, the serve and many other shots relevant and useful in playing tennis.

Having taken several tennis lessons, players will be introduced to matchplay rules and tactics at a sustainable pace throughout the following lessons. As part of this, I create scenarios in which players work on direction work and shot placement, as well as consistency in how they play.

I think it is important for players to first have an understanding of certain aspects of playing tennis with an appropriate level of technique. How to hold the racket is one of the fundamental parts of this, of which there are several ways to do so.

Using the correct grips for each type of shot, whether it is the forehand, backhand or serve, allows for more power and control over the ball. Once grips are understood and the swing path of your racket becomes consistent, matchplay rules start to come into play, in an increasing way throughout points.
