Book your tennis coach

Four fundamental strokes form the basis of all tennis play.

• The forehand shot acts as your go-to power stroke on your dominant side. You brush up on the ball while swinging through for spin and depth.
• The backhand can be hit with one hand or two hands, depending on your preference and strength. Double-handed technique suits learners seeking stability, whereas single-handed extends your reach.
• The serve starts every point and is the only shot you control completely. You throw the ball up, then swing overhead to deliver pace and precision.
• Your volley technique requires compact technique at the net, hitting before the bounce. The motion stays compact with a locked wrist and forward punch.

These fundamentals unlock every aspect of competitive tennis play.

Work on one technique at a time before blending them into live points.

You can expect to pay roughly $60/h for tennis coaching in Horningsea Park.

This cost differs depending on several factors:

• Your current ability (beginner, intermediate, or advanced)
• The coach's experience and qualifications (time in the sport, tournament pedigree, official qualifications)
• Lesson duration and frequency (30-minute, 60-minute, or 90-minute sessions)
• The coaching structure (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Committing to a series often lowers the per-session rate significantly.
Group formats cost less than private coaching while maintaining high teaching standards.
Trial lessons are often free, letting you test the coaching relationship.

Grip choice controls spin generation, power transfer, and shot accuracy.

Players rely on three core grip variations depending on shot selection:

• Eastern forehand hold works well for starters, delivering pace with minimal wrist adjustment. Place your palm flat against the strings, then slide down to the handle—your base knuckle sits on the third bevel (right side for right-handers).
• The Continental grip acts as your go-to for serving, net play, and underspin shots. Your base knuckle sits on the second bevel (top edge), creating a beveled racquet angle.
• The Semi-Western grip fuels modern power tennis with extreme spin production. Shift your knuckle to bevel four to enable steep upward brushing action.

Start with Eastern for forehands and Continental for serves, adjusting later as your style emerges.

Locate the bevels on your handle and align your knuckle to the correct panel for each stroke.
