Adult Tennis Lessons: Summer!

Choosing the right tennis lesson level depends on your current skill and experience. Here's a guide to help you decide:

Beginner: If you're new to tennis or have limited experience, beginner lessons are suitable. You might not be familiar with basic strokes (forehand, backhand, serve), court positioning, or scoring. In our beginner lessons you will learn fundamental techniques, rules, and gain court confidence.

Intermediate: For players with a basic understanding of tennis fundamentals. You can rally, understand scoring, and have some court awareness. In our intermediate lessons you will refine strokes, develop consistency, and work on strategic play.

Advanced: For experienced players with a strong foundation and competitive play background. You have a consistent and powerful game, understand advanced strategies, and may have tournament experience. Our advanced lessons will work on fine-tuning skills, focus on advanced techniques, and enhance match tactics.

Remember: It's okay to start at a lower level and progress. Advancing too quickly may hinder skill development. Tailor your choice to where you feel challenged but not overwhelmed.

If you're still unsure, don't hesitate to consult with our tennis director Vilai Vang who can offer personalized recommendations based on your skill level. He can be reached at vilai@urbantennis.org
