Book your tennis coach

Four fundamental strokes form the basis of all tennis play.

• The forehand serves as the main offensive stroke from your dominant side. The motion sweeps across your body, generating spin and power.
• Your backhand stroke offers versatility with one-handed or two-handed options. Double-handed technique suits learners seeking stability, whereas single-handed extends your reach.
• The service motion begins every exchange as your sole uncontested stroke. The motion involves an upward toss followed by an overhead strike for power and accuracy.
• Your volley technique is a short, punchy stroke played near the net before the ball bounces. The motion stays compact with a locked wrist and forward punch.

These fundamentals unlock every aspect of competitive tennis play.

Practice each stroke separately at first, then combine them during rallies to build consistency and confidence.

You can expect to pay roughly $30/h for a tennis lesson in Langford.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (complete novice, club player, or competitive level)
• The instructor's credentials and expertise (time in the sport, tournament pedigree, official qualifications)
• Class length and how often you train (short intensive sessions or longer practice periods)
• The lesson type (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Many coaches offer bulk session deals when you book multiple lessons upfront, reducing your overall cost.
Training with others cost less than private coaching while maintaining high teaching standards.
First-time sessions are often free, letting you test the coaching relationship.

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

Tennis uses three fundamental grip types, each suited to different strokes and playing styles:

• Eastern grip for forehands suits learners by enabling powerful, flat strokes with comfortable wrist alignment. Position your hand as if shaking hands with the racquet, base knuckle resting on bevel three.
• Continental hold acts as your go-to for serving, net play, and underspin shots. Place your knuckle on the top ridge for an angled racquet position.
• Semi-Western hold dominates contemporary tennis by creating massive topspin. Shift your knuckle to bevel four to enable steep upward brushing action.

Most coaches recommend beginners start with the Eastern forehand grip for groundstrokes and Continental for serves and volleys, then experiment as they develop.

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