Tennis Coaching - Private Lesson
What is the Experience?
If you have ever wanted to learn the secrets of professional tennis to enhance your own game, then this exciting tennis experience is for you. Spend 2 hours with a private coach who will help you master the skills and tame the natural instincts you always have known you have.
On arrival at the tennis centre, you'll be greeted by your personal coach. You'll receive a tennis show bag including sweatbands - you'll be needing them. The coach will check your equipment, fix anything needed and lend you a demo racquet if yours is not up to scratch.
First 55 minutes: A light stretch and some footwork drills. Some mini-tennis from half court to get your rhythm, then move back and your Pro will check out your forehand, backhand, basic volleys, overheads and tweak them for biomechanical efficiency. Spins, racquet head speed and the latest technical adjustments will be the theme.
You’ll then start to move around a bit, hitting a variety of strokes. It's cardio time and you'll feel your heart and lungs starting to work, so be careful not to push too hard.
You'll stop for a well-earned 10 minutes rest and then move onto the next session.
Second 55 minutes: Service time, your coach will check out your ball throw and swing, look at your first and second serve percentages. The theme for the second session will be smooth and efficient.
Game time: On to the best of 5 tie-breakers and your coach will let you in on a few tactical tips on position and game style. Altogether, you'll hit around 500 balls; run, side-skip and back-pedal around 5 kilometres before a cool down and stretch. Guaranteed to get the blood pumping!
We have the following coaches to choose from:
1. All Court Australian Style Coach - Lots of basic technical corrections and courtcraft
2. Ex Pro - Heavy hitting and match play based, world ranked player and one of Australia's best.
3. American Academy Style - Drills, laughs and motivation
4. Female - A softer touch, women's tennis tips.

Session Length
Tennis lesson/session can be booked anytime between 8am and 3pm weekdays. The session is part lesson, part practice and game according to your liking. The session will go for 55 minutes, break for 10 minutes, and then continue for another 55 minutes.
Guidelines:
A light dinner the night before is recommended. Fuel yourself with food e.g. cereal/toast at least 2 hours before you arrive. Remember to go at your own pace – let your coach know if you want to go harder or slower since we can’t always tell from your body language.
Numbers:
Strictly 1 or 2 players make this an intense and personal session. You can share you lesson with a friend but then obviously less time will be spent on you!
Weather:
With tennis, always assume it is on right up to an hour before play, since hard courts can be dry in an hour after heavy rain, and synthetic grass can be dry straight after light rain. Call in extreme conditions where a decision can be made well ahead of time.
Other Info:
Customers sign a temporary membership agreement which includes an indemnity release. All coaches are qualified and we are proud of a super safety record with respect to injury prevention. Anyway, in sport, tennis is as safe as it gets!
