Class Overview

Private coaching offers the most direct path to improvement — whether you’re learning the basics or fine-tuning advanced tactics. Each session is tailored to your goals, skill level, and playing style. You’ll receive individual attention on technique, positioning, and shot selection while building consistency, control, and confidence on court.

Your coach will guide you through targeted drills, real-game situations, and video feedback (where available) to ensure measurable progress. Sessions are flexible and can focus on specific skills — from serves and volleys to strategic wall play and point construction.
