Tennis Lesson Plan
​Tennis lessons with me will involve groundstrokes
as well as other shots like the serve, volley and much more.
​​
​
Once players have taken a few tennis lessons,
I will introduce matchplay rules and matchplay tactics
by working on direction work, shot placement and consistency.
Tennis Grips
​​The first few lessons will introduce players to different types of tennis grips.
​​
​
These grips include the standard forehand grip
known as an eastern forehand grip.
​​
​
As for the backhand grip, it depends on whether you hold
a two-handed or one-handed backhand.
​
When starting out, I encourage players to start with a two-handed backhand to learn an optimal swing path for more consistency and control over the ball.
​​​
​
Using the correct tennis grips allow for more comfort with time and additionally will make power and control more achievable and natural.
​​
​
This is especially important for the serve grip
also known as the continental grip or other names
like chopper grip, hammer grip or volley/serve grip.
Tennis Matchplay
Rules & Tactics
​​After the first few lessons, I will introduce the rules of
how to play a tennis match so that players better understand the game
so that decision-making during a point becomes easier and improves.
​​
​
Once players have learnt the rules of the game,​
I will create tennis drills that introduce direction work
and shot placement to build a point up without making mistakes right away.
​​
​
My tennis drills will have a singles and doubles match in mind.
