Book your tennis coach

The foundation of tennis rests on a handful of core techniques.

• Your forehand stroke serves as the main offensive stroke from your dominant side. You brush up on the ball while swinging through for spin and depth.
• The backhand shot can be hit with one hand or two hands, depending on your preference and strength. The two-handed grip gives beginners extra control and consistency, though one hand adds range.
• Your serve stroke initiates each rally and remains entirely in your control. The motion involves an upward toss followed by an overhead strike for power and accuracy.
• The volley demands quick reactions at net, striking mid-flight. 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.

Tennis lessons in North Adelaide typically cost around $40/h.

This price fluctuates depending on several factors:

• The player's standard (starting out, casual player, or tournament standard)
• The teacher's background and certifications (years of coaching, professional playing experience, coaching accreditations)
• Session length and regularity (half-hour, hour, or extended blocks)
• The lesson type (individual coaching, shared sessions, or squad training)

Many coaches offer multi-lesson bundles when you book multiple lessons upfront, reducing your overall cost.
Squad sessions deliver excellent value without the premium of one-on-one attention.
Most instructors offer a complimentary first session so you can assess their teaching style and compatibility before committing.

The way you hold the racquet shapes every shot you hit.

Three primary grips form the foundation of modern tennis technique:

• Eastern grip for forehands works well for starters, delivering pace with minimal wrist adjustment. Imagine gripping the racquet like a handshake, your knuckle landing on the third panel.
• The Continental grip serves as the all-purpose grip for serves, volleys, and defensive slices. Position your knuckle on bevel two to angle the racquet face.
• Semi-Western forehand grip dominates contemporary tennis by creating massive topspin. Your base knuckle moves to the fourth bevel (bottom right for right-handers), allowing you to brush up the back of the ball aggressively.

Build your foundation with Eastern groundstrokes and Continental serves before exploring variations.

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