ADULT BEGINNER LESSON PROGRAM
Our Adult Beginner Tennis Program is divided into three progressive levels designed to help you learn and develop your tennis skills step by step.
Beginner Tennis 101 - For players who are brand new to the game and learning the fundamentals.
Beginner Tennis 201 - For players who have completed Tennis 101. This level focuses on developing a solid understanding of all basic tennis strokes. Participants are encouraged to repeat this level until they feel comfortable with each stroke. After completing the Beginner Tennis Program, players are ready to move on to the Novice Round Robin, available to HTC members.
Novice Tennis 301 - For players who have confidently completed Tennis 201. This level emphasizes improving rallying and serving skills, with increased focus on both doubles and singles play. Players should repeat this level until they can consistently rally and serve from the baseline.
BEGINNER TENNIS 101
In this beginner program you will receive instruction on the two basic strokes - forehand and backhand - with the goal of learning to rally. There will be considerable emphasis on hand-eye co-ordination exercises and basic body movements. You will be introduced to the serve, volley, scoring system and rules of the game. Many participants take this course twice before progressing to Beginner Tennis 201.
