Learn to play tennis with the help of a Superprof coach

What could be better than picking up a tennis racquet on a sunny morning and heading off to meet a friend on the court? Being, well, better at it! Even if what started out as just a bit of fun and a way to pass time has now become a fully-fledged hobby, you can get more enjoyment and fulfilment from the sport if you learn to play from an expert in the field (okay, court). Those who have been playing tennis for as long as they could walk would agree that they too can benefit from some extra tuition, not only to help them practice but also to make sure they are continually learning and improving as a player.

So how do you go about getting better at tennis?

How To Start Playing Tennis?

Most sports have something in common - they look easy to the untrained eye but when you try it yourself you realise just how much skill and hard work is required to make it look so seamless. Tennis is a bit like that, and you can expect to do a lot of trial and error when you first start out. For example, game rules aside, you probably won't even know what your swing is like until you've taken a fair few swings (Technical term alert! This is usually referred to as a "forearm smash".) Ever played a ball game before? Then you'll know there's no right or wrong way, per say, only your way and that means you need to perfect your technique if you want to be consistent.

Now, if you're planning on trying your hand at tennis without the help of a professional, then the first thing you need to consider is equipment. Do you have a decent racket? Do you have suitable, comfortable clothing to train in, including trainers with the right amount of flex and grip to help you make your fast direction changes? And, if using a ball machine (which is recommended for absolute beginners), then do you have some protective gear you can wear while you adjust the balls flying right at you? This can be off-putting even for the pros, so until you can anticipate where the ball will land it's probably wise to protect your face and head to avoid injury!

Of course, not everyone has a mate they can train with, but wherever possible try to practice with others as you'll see much faster improvement.

The Basic Tennis Terms

As with School Physical Education classes, there is a mixture of practical and written work to complete in order to understand the different sports. Therefore, revising a glossary of terms for Tennis is a great way to get started on your Tennis journey, if you don't know them already from watching players compete on the TV. Of course, there are many terms to get to know, but here are just a couple to get you started as a newbie to the sport. (Definitions by Dummies.com.)

Ace: A serve that the returner doesn’t even touch with her racquet. An ace wins the point immediately for the server.
Backhand: The side of your body that you usually don’t do business on. For example, if you’re right-handed, your backhand side is the left side of your body.
Passing shot: A forehand or backhand you hit past an opponent when she stands at the net.
Volley: A shot that you hit before the ball bounces, usually at the net.

More Ways to Learn Tennis Basics

Of course, as we've said, you can attempt to get good at tennis all by yourself. This will be hard - even if you enlist the help of online tutorials and other video tools which you study day in, day out, you'll still miss out on the physical act of trying these tips and tricks out in real life and against real opponents.

To train with other like-minded individuals, you might like to go with friends or join a Tennis group/club, details of which can often be found on your local Facebook groups or at your nearest gym/tennis courts. However, probably the best way to learn is by signing up for lessons with a teacher, either in a group or (even better) on a 1-2-1 basis. Group sessions are very good and are usually a bit cheaper but with a one to one lesson then you, of course, get more time with your tutor and the class is 100% tailored to your personal needs and strengths.

Tennis Lessons with A Private Tutor

As we've mentioned, tennis lessons with a personal tutor are a great way to see fast improvements in a sport like tennis, whether you see yourself competing in a serious competition or just playing with your friends for fun (but of course thrashing them all with your newfound knowledge!). A private tutor will be able to work at your pace, working on the basics first and gradually teaching you to play an opponent. They will not only be able to teach you about the history of the sport and the rules and terms, but they'll also be able to encourage you to find your style by teaching techniques that they've used successfully. These sessions with a tennis pro really are worth their weight in gold because why wouldn't you want to be taught by someone who has experience of not only playing but teaching tennis?

Get Yourself A Tennis Tutor With Superprof

While there may not be an abundance of tennis tutors out there, this can only be positive because this means that the tennis tutors you do find in or around your area of Leeds will be the best of the best. Hiring a tutor who is relatively close to you means that they will know all the best places to train and play and you can easily arrange regular meetups for outdoor or indoor lessons.

A private tutor will begin by assessing your skills and will put together a programme that helps you to build up confidence while also improving your technique over time. Remember, you can't become one of the greats in just a few weeks, so give it time and trust in your teacher's process and you'll be smashing forehands and winning aces all over the place!
