Who can benefit from tennis lessons?

If you or someone that you know is hoping to get into a new sport or the sport of tennis has always appealed to you then having one-on-one private lessons could be just the thing that you are looking for.  

If you are new to tennis then you will be able to get clear and helpful pointers on the basics such as teaching you the rules, techniques on how to properly hold the racket, your stances and how to be mindful of your feet or even just common terms that are used in the sport that you can use or just learn so that you understand more about what is going on when enthusiasts discuss the sport.  

Having a private teacher in Ireland will result in you learning things that you wouldn't have even considered if you had set out to learn tennis by yourself or just with a friend.  

Tennis coaching for experienced players

Even if you have some experience with the game and at this point you know the rules, you know how to serve and so on, there is a lot that you could gain by getting lessons, especially if you hope to improve your playing or aspire to join competitions.  

By getting private lessons you get to learn and improve at your own pace. If you have a lot to learn or your skills are already intermediate, and you learn quickly it doesn’t matter. You get to learn the things that are relevant to you, at the pace that suits you and your needs. A one-size-fits-all all approach is far from ideal and can result in turning people away from tennis as their needs and learning speed are not met.  

With training tailored around you, you will make excellent progress compared to just practising informally. You will make the most of your time as your training sessions will be focused and based on helping you to improve in core areas. By observing how you play and discussing with you, your teacher will know what you do well and what could do with some improvement. Exercises and lessons will be based on these observations and your learning and progress will remain focused.  

Having a private teacher whom you would book in advance means that you know when you will have a lesson which will help keep playing tennis at regular intervals. If you just rely on friends to practice with, life can get the way and you may not be able to do regular and constant practice with them. Your teacher will prioritise you, as you are their student.  

What you learn in tennis lessons

There are a vast amount of things that you can learn about tennis as it all depends on your skill level and what level you would be playing it.

From learning how to serve, learning what grip suits your play style, and how to smash or how to just get the ball over the net. Tennis lessons can vary based on your goals. In general with a tennis coach, you'll have the opportunity to practise different types of shots that'll help make you a better player.

There is a big difference in what you would have to learn and practice if you are playing tennis casually compared to participating in competitions and events for example.  

You'll also learn exercises to get fitter for the sport, improving your accuracy and response time as well as your stamina. You'll learn the etiquette of the sport such as when you should be silent, the duration of warmup periods and types of serves and shots that may be considered as bad form in certain situations.
