Many of you have heard the term keep it simple. This is a great way to teach ten and under students. What does that mean though? In our lessons, it means to keep the lesson short enough to develop a concept and understanding. We focus on thirty to forty-five minute sessions with one to three fifteen minute lessons. I know some of you are thinking, well that is not enough time for them to develop their skills. In theory no, but what we have found is that it keeps the student's interest so that they continually come back. The repetition of a short lesson over time is what creates the complete player.
It is important to keep the lesson simple with modeling, guided practice, independent practice, and take home experience. We also like to ask what the student liked best about the day. From our experience working in schools, this format is called I DO, WE DO, YOU DO. Whether you are teaching tennis or anything, this format works and will help you become the parent or teacher you aspire to be.
