I played tennis for > 30 years, including competitions in Italy, UK and USA. I would like to give affordable tennis classes to beginners or intermediate-level players in all age groups. I look forward

Methodology

First, I will ask you to run around the court twice to warm up and to run short distances to practice your footwork (a super-key thing in tennis!). Then I will want to see your baseline shots and hear from you. Second, we will organise drills around your weaker shot; say it's the forehand: I will give you 10 forehands cross-court and 10 down the line and ask you to strike the ball beyond service line. Third, we will play ten balls trying to get to as many shots as possible, minimum 50 (25 each). Fourth, I will ask you to serve slowly with the right movement above the net and within the service box, say 5 times on each side. Finally, we will play some points with no restrictions.
