Rules, scoring, and equipment, plus grip, stance, and basic strokes to get started with confidence.
Refining forehand and backhand strokes, practicing consistent serves, and introducing footwork and court positioning.
Improving shot accuracy and control across groundstrokes and volleys, building rallying technique and simple strategy.
Applying skills in guided match play, focusing on point construction and introducing topspin, slice, and approach shots.
Built for the age on the other side of the net.

A plan built around your game.
“Coach Vikash is an outstanding tennis coach! He did an amazing job helping me understand the fundamentals of the game and made sure I built a strong foundation before progressing. What really sets him apart is that he takes the time to understand your playing style and develops a personalized game plan that fits your strengths and goals instead of using a one-size-fits-all approach. He's patient, knowledgeable, and encouraging, and he explains techniques in a way that's easy to understand and apply on the court. Every lesson was well structured, and I left each session feeling more confident and motivated to improve. I highly recommend Coach Vikash to anyone looking to elevate their tennis game, regardless of their skill level!”
“As an advanced player, I wasn't looking for someone to teach me the basics — I wanted a coach who could take my game to the next level, and Coach Vikash did exactly that. He helped me develop smarter match strategies, recognize patterns, and build game plans that worked against different opponents. His ability to analyze my game and make the right tactical adjustments had a noticeable impact on my confidence and performance. I started making better decisions under pressure and winning more matches because I had a clear strategy instead of just relying on my shots. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to become a smarter, more successful player.”
