Start With Rallying for Beginner Private Lessons
Beginners today start with short-court rallying, learning how to tap the ball to a partner on the same side of the net, progressing to rallying over the net while standing only a few feet from the net.
As beginners learn how to judge balls, move their feet and control the ball to a partner, they move back toward the baseline a few feet at a time. This helps players learn tennis skills under control using all of the skills needed to play tennis, not just forehand and backhand swing techniques. As beginners begin to master rallying, coaches then begin making specific stroke changes, such as working on the grip, the backswing and the follow-through.

Unlike junior players, adults usually aren’t looking to add completely new skills unless they are beginners. Adults who take lessons are often trying to improve what they already have.
A good adult lesson will start with the coach and student playing points to recreate and identify the player’s match-play needs. The coach and player will then work together to solve the playing problems with stroke work. Adult tennis lessons take into account that grownups aren’t as active as kids, so practices include the right type of warmup, adequate breaks and a post-workout cool down and stretch.
Adult private Tennis Lesson Goals
Don’t be afraid to tell your coach all of the goals for your lessons. Qualified coaches want to make the lesson the best possible experience for you and will emphasize the aspects of a tennis lesson you want. Consider working on the following skills:
- Footwork – learn how to get to the ball with proper balance
- Depth – learn how to hit short angles, deep drives, drop shots ad lobs
- Direction – learn how to hit to the backhand, forehand and into the body
- Spins – learn how and when to hit flat, with slice and with topspin
- Patterns – learn how to play two shots ahead to open the court and force errors
- Power – the least important skill, but one that many adults want to learn first

Children Spring break tennis camp Top 10 Best Tennis Lessons in San Jose CA, bay team tennis academy
Some of our revenues go to our foundation to support orphans and helpless children in Western Africa by offering tennis and education. Each year we organize training camps and tournaments in the Ivory Coast to help children who don’t get the opportunity to play tennis by making donations in tennis equipment and food. You can support our foundation by making a donation to make an impact in some other children’s lives.
There are additional benefits to taking private lessons. The one-on-one coaching allows tennis students the ability to learn much faster and to also grasp more material in a shorter amount of time. private lessons are productive and allow you the opportunity to develop skills at your own pace. Learn or refine five basic strokes of tennis at a speed that is comfortable for you.
The serve, forehand, backhand,overhead and volley are the key components in learning the basic fundamentals of the great game of tennis. Developing the correct technique takes both time and patience. With private lessons, quality time is available and necessary for the execution of new tennis skills and techniques. Private lessons provide the coach the opportunity to get to know your strengths and your weaknesses so that they can personalize your tennis lesson with a customized learning plan to improve your tennis game. Private lessons may be more costly over time but in the end they are worth every penny.
Private tennis lessons are the most effective way to learn new strokes and shots that work for your personal style of play. A group lesson provides helpful tips on general playing and hitting skills, but private lessons allow a coach to see how you perform during a group class or a match so he or she can improve your game based on your individual needs.
Private tennis lessons help you achieve two goals:
- Learn a new skill for the first time
- Learn a new skill for the first time
Improve a stroke or shot you’re currently using

Semi – Private Tennis Lessons
Are you looking for a way to keep your kids occupied in their free time? Why not sign them up with a semi private lesson and have them not only have a great time but also learn a sport they can play the rest of their lives. We have coaches who are not only great with beginners but who are also capable of getting the most out of two experienced tennis players. If you have a friend who you want to take a lesson with, we offer semi-private tennis lessons that are no less instructional than private lessons. As they say, the more the merrier ! It is always better to either compare your game to or just someone to have a laugh or two with.
Semi-private tennis lessons which are specifically designed for two players to receive personal instruction together and serves as a nice alternative to one-on-one instruction . they allow you to receive personal instruction with another player (friend, partner, sibling, neighbor) on the court at the same time. Semi- private lessons are a great fit for players who are uncomfortable with private lessons but are open to getting individual attention alongside another player .
Semi-private tennis lessons are an ideal option for kids who want to learn quickly but prefer having a friend to learn ,play and hit with . The coach to student ratio is an added benefit with one tennis coach per two players which provides just the right environment for kids to learn teamwork and to cooperate with one another . With two players per lesson there is more action out on the court for each player versus a group tennis lesson which allows multiple players and the possibility of a waiting line that can result in standing idle .
Another benefit of taking semi-private tennis lessons is the social aspect . It’s a lot less stressful and a whole lot more fun to master a new sport or improve your game alongside a good friend . you can stay active , socialize and learn how to play tennis together . Tennis is not only an amazing sport but a great way to meet new friends.
Doubles
This program is also good for doubles players who are learning game strategy, or who want to play doubles tournaments together in the future. It is beneficial for doubles partners to learn together, from this they will understand each other’s capabilities and limitations. You can use your knowledge of the other player to set them in a position where you know they will do well, and finish the point. Building team chemistry is integral to your ability to play well together, and to communicate between each other during the point.

If you’re looking for the most affordable way to learn how to play the great game of tennis, group tennis lessons are the way to go. Group lessons are also designed to accommodate multiple tennis players, which on average can range anywhere from 3-8 players . Affordability is one of the biggest advantages of taking tennis lessons with a group . With multiple players, the total cost of each lesson is shared by all which dramatically decreases the amount for each individual player. As a result, learning how to play tennis becomes a reality for a plethora of tennis players who are unable to afford both private or semi-private tennis lessons.
You can get into the game together by developing the five basic strokes of tennis. Mastering you serve is a great place to start. The group setting takes the pressure off of everybody’s individual performance and allows the players to enjoy learning as a whole. Group tennis lessons are typically taught with tennis players that are the same skill level for the betterment of the entire group. Group tennis lessons are ideal for kids who are shy or might be intimidated by the one-on-one instruction that comes with taking private lessons. A group lesson for kids can really encourage camaraderie and teamwork which are very important elements for children to grasp both on and off the tennis court.
The enthusiasm that can come from participating in an exciting group activity is contagious and also motivating and as a result can build confidence and make a lasting impact in a child’s life. Group tennis lessons are a great fit for kids who just want to learn how to play tennis and have great time with some friends. The social aspect is also an added benefit and is one of the main reasons that group tennis lessons for both kids and adults are very popular. Learning the fundamentals of tennis along with a group of close friends can be motivating, encouraging and extremely enjoyable. And having some fun with friends.

Tennis Lesson, General Objectives
The general objective for all students is to recognize that tennis is a game, and we play tennis for and with the love of the game. The objective of the game is not only to win, but to enjoy playing, and enjoy yourself, winning will come as a result of this. When you enjoy playing, you will organically learn better, play better, try harder, and the coach will enjoy teaching you, while your parents enjoy watching you.
The coach doesn’t expect the student to be able to learn tennis quickly however, they do expect to see you trying as hard to develop as a tennis player. Students will be committed to tennis not because they have to be, but because they themselves want to grow, have fun, and have ambition for the sport. It is important to have a positive attitude, even when you can’t win, in order to learn from the experience and bring it into your future experiences. Having a negative attitude will not lead to any form of benefit, it will only add factors such as stress, and doubt to your game.
Never stop believing in yourself.

Tennis challenges you to improve, to hit your strokes and develop your strategy to become a more efficient, effective player. When you improve your game, you don’t just become a better player. You also get the satisfaction that comes from mastering a skill no matter what your age or ability you can master the basics, advance to the next skill level, address a specific weakness or correct a bad habit from the past.
That’s where private lessons come into the picture. When you get serious about your tennis, even if you’re just playing for fun, you need to consider taking tennis lessons. A private tennis lesson is all about players out on the court. No tennis coach, regardless of how much experience and talent he/she has, can turn you from a beginner into a great player in one hour-long lesson or even three, for that matter. However, a coach can help you improve your game in some very concrete ways, starting with Lesson 1. With private lessons, there are less students out on the court which allows more time or the tennis coach to focus on the player. Less distraction for the coach means more tennis instruction just for the player to build a unique personality, complete with strengths and flaws, that requires the individual attention of a one-on-one lesson in an intensive, 60-minute lesson.
