Focused Practice That Has a Purpose

What Happens During a Tennis Lesson?

Your lesson will depend on your level and goals, but a typical session may include:

1. Assessment

Your coach evaluates your current technique, movement, consistency, and playing habits.

2. Technical Development

We identify specific areas that can improve your strokes and overall game.

3. Drills & Repetition

You practice the right movements with structured drills designed around your needs.

4. Point Play

You learn how to apply those skills in realistic tennis situations.

5. Feedback

Your coach explains what you’re doing well, what needs work, and what you should practice between lessons.

The goal isn’t simply to hit more tennis balls. It’s to make every practice session more productive.

Your Location. Your Goals. Your Game.

What Makes Our Tennis Lessons Different?

Los Angeles is a big city, and finding the right tennis coach shouldn’t mean spending hours driving to one location. We make professional tennis coaching more convenient by working with players across LA and arranging lessons at appropriate courts whenever possible.

At the same time, we keep the instruction personal. You’re not just another player in a large class. Your coach gets to know your game and your goals.

Group Classes. Junior Programs. Personal Teaching.

Tennis Classes in Los Angeles for Kids, Children & Adult Players

Alongside private lessons, we run tennis classes and structured programs for players across Los Angeles, and every program is designed so that each player gets real teaching and personal feedback rather than simply standing in line waiting for a turn to hit the ball.

Our kids classes follow a proven junior program that moves young players through red, orange and green ball stages, and our teaching keeps every session fun, safe and active so children build coordination, confidence and a genuine love for tennis from their very first class.

For adults, our beginner classes, intermediate classes and cardio tennis classes give you a sociable way to learn, get fit and meet other players, while our live ball classes turn the drills you practice into fast, competitive points that feel like real match play.

Players who want to compete can join a competitive training program that combines technical teaching, footwork, strategy and match preparation for high-school varsity tennis, USTA leagues, junior tournaments and college tennis, with each program tailored to the player’s goals and schedule.

Every class is led by one of our experienced tennis coaches, and a qualified tennis instructor adjusts the teaching to the level of the group, so our group classes and small-group programs stay challenging for strong players without leaving beginners behind.

Because our classes stay small, our teaching stays personal, and many players combine weekly group classes with occasional private lessons to get the best of both programs while following a single development program designed by their coach.

Not sure which of our programs is right for you? Tell us your age, level and goals, and we will recommend the classes, private lessons or program that fits best, with teaching available at convenient tennis courts in North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, Brentwood, West Los Angeles, Santa Monica and West Hollywood.

A Practical Guide for Los Angeles Tennis Players

Tennis Courts, Neighborhoods and Equipment in Los Angeles

Hard Court and Clay Court Tennis in Los Angeles

Los Angeles has a huge number of public tennis courts, private club courts and residential tennis courts, and most tennis in Los Angeles is played on a hard court, so our tennis lessons are built around the fast, true bounce of a hard court surface. If you train or compete on a clay court, tell your coach, because clay court tennis rewards patience, longer rallies and different footwork. We regularly teach on tennis courts in North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Brentwood, and we can arrange a lesson at your own tennis court when it is available.

Tennis Lessons in Santa Monica, West Hollywood and Nearby Neighborhoods

Across the Westside, players join us from West Los Angeles, Westwood, Cheviot Hills, the Palisades, Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood, and every tennis lesson is planned around the tennis court that is most convenient for you. Players in Los Feliz, Echo Park, South Pasadena and Alhambra also contact us, and we will tell you honestly whether we can arrange a coach and a tennis court close to you anywhere in Los Angeles.

Choosing a Racquet and Tennis Balls for Your Lesson

Bring a racquet if you have one, comfortable court shoes and plenty of water, and ask your coach whether to bring tennis balls to your lesson or clinic. If you are choosing your first racquet, ask us before you buy, because the right racquet size, grip and weight makes learning tennis easier, and children progress faster with a junior racquet and low-compression tennis balls on a smaller tennis court.

Kids Tennis and USTA Junior Tournament Preparation

Children start with red, orange and green tennis balls on smaller courts, then move up to full tennis courts as their skills grow. Older juniors can prepare for high-school varsity tennis, USTA junior tournaments and adult USTA leagues, and our coaches help each player choose the right tournament schedule so that every tournament becomes a learning experience.

Cardio Tennis Exercises, Fitness and Injury Prevention

Cardio tennis and every group clinic combine tennis drills with cardio work that raises your heart rate, improves footwork and builds endurance on the tennis court. Every clinic, cardio tennis class and private lesson starts with a dynamic warm-up to reduce the risk of injury, and if you are returning from an injury, tell your coach so the tennis lesson can be adapted to your needs.

Your coach can adapt footwork exercises to your level, starting with a split step and recovery steps between shots. Controlled rallies help you practice direction and consistency before adding pace. Serve practice can begin with the toss and contact point, then progress to targets in the service box. Ask which exercises to repeat between lessons so your practice supports the technique you worked on with your coach.

Choose the Right Tennis Program

Tennis Lessons on Los Angeles Tennis Courts: Private, Semi-Private & Group Coaching

Every player learns differently, so we offer several tennis lesson formats in Los Angeles. Use this quick guide to compare private tennis lessons, semi-private lessons, group tennis classes and kids programs, then contact us and we will help you choose.

Private Tennis Lessons: One-on-One Tennis Coaching

Private tennis lessons are the fastest way to improve because every minute of the lesson is focused on you. Your tennis coach analyzes your strokes, footwork and tactics, then builds a lesson plan around the parts of your game that will make the biggest difference.

Private lessons suit complete beginners who want to learn correct technique from day one, experienced players fixing a specific weakness, and competitive players preparing for tournaments, leagues and varsity matches.

Semi-Private Tennis Lessons: Train With a Friend

Semi-private tennis lessons pair you with a friend, partner or family member of a similar level, so you get close coaching attention while sharing the cost of the lesson.

Training with a partner also means more live-ball rallies, more game-based drills and more fun, which makes semi-private lessons a popular choice for couples, siblings and doubles partners across Los Angeles.

Tennis Classes and Group Clinics

Group tennis classes and clinics combine structured drills, coaching tips and competitive points in a social setting. They are an affordable way to practice more often, meet other players and learn to handle different spins, speeds and playing styles.

We run beginner and intermediate group classes, cardio tennis classes and live ball sessions, and every class is organized so that players are grouped by level and receive personal feedback from the coach.

Kids and Junior Tennis Programs

Our kids and junior tennis programs use age-appropriate balls, smaller courts and fun, game-based teaching so children learn to rally, serve and score while building coordination and confidence.

As young players progress, they move from red to orange to green balls and then to full tennis courts, and motivated juniors can continue into competitive training for high school varsity tennis and USTA junior tournaments.

Not sure which tennis program is right for you? Call or text 310-989-1989 and our tennis coaches will recommend the best lesson format for your level, goals and schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions

We regularly teach in North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air, and Brentwood, as well as surrounding Los Angeles communities. We can also arrange lessons at private courts and other convenient tennis courts throughout LA.

Yes. If you have access to a private court at your home, apartment, condominium, club, or another facility, contact us with the location and we’ll see if we can arrange a lesson there.

Yes. No previous tennis experience is required.

Yes. We provide tennis lessons for kids and junior players at different ages and skill levels.

Absolutely. Advanced players can work on technique, strategy, movement, consistency, point construction, match play, and competitive preparation.

For many players, weekly instruction is a good starting point. Your ideal schedule depends on your goals, availability, and how often you can practice outside of lessons.

If you have one, bring it. If you’re a beginner and don’t have a racket yet, let us know when you contact us and we’ll help you determine what you need.

Contact us. We teach throughout Los Angeles and may be able to arrange a coach and court that works for your location.

The cost of tennis lessons in Los Angeles depends on the lesson format, the length of each session and the tennis court you use. Group tennis classes are usually the most affordable way to learn, semi-private tennis lessons let two players share the cost of a coach, and private tennis lessons give you the most individual attention for your investment.

Contact us with your goals, your preferred neighborhood and how often you would like to train, and we will send you current rates for private lessons, semi-private lessons and group classes.

Children can start tennis surprisingly young. Our kids tennis lessons use red, orange and green tennis balls, smaller courts and shorter racquets, so young beginners can rally, score points and enjoy the game long before they are ready for a full-size tennis court.

Every child develops differently, so call us to talk about your child’s age, attention span and experience, and we will recommend the right kids class or private lesson to start with.

Both work well, and the right choice depends on how you like to learn. Private tennis lessons help beginners build clean technique quickly because the coach can correct every stroke, while group tennis classes are social, affordable and a fun way to meet other players at the same level.

Many beginners start with a few private lessons to learn the fundamentals and then add a weekly group class for extra practice and match play.

Most adult beginners can rally, serve and keep score after a handful of lessons with a qualified tennis coach, especially if they practice between sessions. Building consistent, confident tennis takes longer, and players who train weekly usually see steady progress over several months.

Your coach will set clear goals, track your improvement and adjust your lesson plan as your game develops, so every tennis lesson moves you forward.

Yes. Adult tennis lessons are a core part of our programs, and many adult students have never played before or are returning to tennis after years away. We teach the fundamentals in a relaxed, encouraging way, including grips, footwork, the forehand, the backhand, the serve and basic scoring.

Adult beginners can choose private lessons, semi-private lessons with a friend or our beginner group classes, and you can switch formats as your confidence and tennis skills grow.

Absolutely. Our competitive tennis training helps juniors prepare for high school varsity tryouts, USTA junior tournaments and college tennis, with coaching that covers technique, footwork, fitness, strategy and the mental side of competition.

Coach Daniel has coached players from complete beginners to nationally ranked juniors and Division I college athletes, so your child will train with a coach who understands the path to competitive tennis.

Yes. Our lead tennis coach has experience teaching wheelchair and adaptive tennis players, and we adapt drills, equipment and court positioning so every player can learn, improve and enjoy the game. Contact us to talk about your needs before your first tennis lesson.

Adaptive tennis lessons can be private or semi-private, and we will help you find an accessible tennis court in Los Angeles that works for you.

Wear comfortable athletic clothing and proper tennis or court shoes with non-marking soles, because running shoes do not give you the lateral support you need on a hard court. Bring a racquet if you have one, a water bottle, sunscreen and a hat for daytime tennis lessons in the Los Angeles sun.

For kids tennis lessons, pack a snack and a spare water bottle, and let your coach know about anything that could affect your child’s play on the day.

Our lead coach, Daniel Joelson, is USTA Safe Play Approved, which means he has completed training to recognize and prevent misconduct in sport and has cleared a criminal background screen. You can verify his coach profile on the USTA website.

If you have questions about safety, supervision or who will coach your child, ask us before you book and we will walk you through how our tennis lessons are run.

Yes. Along with North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Brentwood, we offer tennis lessons in Santa Monica, West Hollywood, West Los Angeles, Century City, Marina del Rey, Venice, Mar Vista, Playa Vista, Hollywood, Burbank and Van Nuys. Visit our location pages or contact us to find a tennis coach and a tennis court near you.

If your neighborhood is not on the list, contact us anyway, because we can often arrange tennis lessons at private residential courts, apartment courts and clubs across Los Angeles.

Yes. Cardio tennis classes combine tennis drills with high-energy movement and fast-paced rallies, giving you a full-body workout that burns calories and improves footwork, speed and endurance.

You do not need to be an advanced player to join, because the drills are designed for all levels and the coach adjusts the pace so every player stays active and challenged.

Live ball tennis is a fast-paced group format in which the coach feeds balls to start each point and players rotate in and out of rallies, so you practice real match situations instead of static drills.

Live ball sessions are ideal for intermediate and advanced players who want more competitive points, better shot selection and a fun way to stay match-ready between tournaments and league matches.

Yes. We teach regularly in North Hollywood and offer tennis lessons in Burbank, Van Nuys and nearby San Fernando Valley neighborhoods, with private, semi-private and group tennis classes available for kids and adults.

Contact us with your location and schedule, and we will recommend a convenient tennis court and the right tennis program for your goals.

    Tennis Lessons: A Practical Training Guide

    Tennis Lessons and Tennis Classes: Planning Your Practice

    Use this guide to compare tennis lessons, prepare for tennis classes and understand what to practice between tennis coaching sessions.

    Tennis Lessons: Find Your Practice Topic

    Tennis Lessons and Tennis Classes: Skills and Preparation

    Tennis lessons, tennis classes and tennis coaching: a practical guide to lesson preparation and tennis practice.

    Tennis Lessons: Choosing a format

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    If you are searching for tennis lessons near me, compare private tennis lessons, semi-private tennis lessons and group tennis classes. Your tennis coach can explain the options, review your playing history and help you pick a tennis lesson format that meets your goals. An attentive teacher makes learning easier, whether you are getting back into tennis or starting here for the first time.

    Tennis Lessons: Planning your first session

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Before booking a tennis lesson, share your level, age and preferred days. Ask how many minutes the tennis lesson lasts and whether the quoted rates are per hour or per session. Clear details help you plan time on court and avoid surprises. Ask about any tennis lesson package, what is included, and the process to book or reschedule.

    Tennis Lessons: Racquet and grip

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    A good racquet should fit your hand and ability. Tennis instruction can help you check the grip size, weight and balance before picking equipment. Ask your tennis instructor to make simple adjustments to your grip for the forehand, backhand and serve. Children often need a smaller racket and low-compression balls rather than a full adult setup.

    Tennis Lessons: Ready position

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis training starts before you swing. Keep your knees relaxed, give yourself space and stay balanced in the ready position. Your tennis coach can help you connect a split step with the first movement toward the ball. Practice tennis with controlled steps so you become able to change direction quickly without reaching too far.

    Tennis Lessons: Forehand contact

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    During tennis lessons, focus on a comfortable contact point in front of your body. Tennis coaching can help you coordinate the preparation, swing and finish while keeping a stable base. Start with easy tennis practice at a slower pace, then increase speed as control improves. Excellent timing comes from making consistently repeatable movements rather than forcing a powerful shot.

    Tennis Lessons: Backhand preparation

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons can help you choose a one-handed or two-handed backhand based on comfort and control. Your tennis coach will review preparation, shoulder turn and contact. Tennis practice with a partner gives you repeated chances to adjust your position. Ask your teacher which main cue to focus on instead of trying to change multiple things at once.

    Tennis Lessons: Serve rhythm

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis coaching for the serve combines a balanced stance, reliable toss and smooth rhythm. Tennis lessons should build placement before adding extra pace. Use tennis practice to aim at large targets and learn which adjustments produce a repeatable motion. If an old habit is difficult to change, work on one part of the motion before attempting a full serve.

    Tennis Lessons: Return positioning

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons for returning serve can cover your starting position, split step and compact swing. A tennis coach can help you read the server and choose a safe target. Practice tennis against varied serves, including slower second serves, so you learn when to step in and when to give yourself more space. The aim is to start the point with control.

    Tennis Lessons: Volleys and overheads

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis instruction at the net focuses on a ready racket, short preparation and quick decisions. Tennis lessons can include forehand volleys, backhand volleys and overhead footwork. During tennis practice, move with your doubles partner and recover after each shot. Build control before trying to end every point with a winner.

    Tennis Lessons: Footwork and recovery

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis training should connect movement to the stroke you are playing. Tennis lessons can help you use small adjustment steps, recover toward the right position and stay ready for the next ball. A tennis coach can show how recovery changes for singles and doubles. Pay attention to balance when moving beyond your comfortable hitting zone.

    Tennis Lessons: Consistency and targets

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons can use large crosscourt targets to develop reliable rallies. In tennis practice, count controlled shots rather than only winners. Tennis coaching should help you choose a pace that lets you repeat the stroke with confidence. Record a simple baseline, review it weekly and notice which changes improve accuracy under pressure.

    Tennis Lessons: Topspin and slice

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis coaching can introduce topspin for net clearance and slice for a lower trajectory. Tennis lessons should explain when each shot is useful and how the swing path changes. Tennis practice at moderate speed helps you feel the difference. Ask your tennis instructor to check technique before adding more spin, particularly if a change causes discomfort.

    Tennis Lessons: Point construction

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons should help you understand how one shot creates the next opportunity. Tennis coaching can cover crosscourt patterns, changing direction and choosing when to approach the net. In tennis practice, play points with a specific purpose rather than hitting every ball as hard as possible. Look for the main pattern that creates a good position.

    Tennis Lessons: Singles tactics

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis training for singles includes court coverage, reliable depth and sensible shot selection. Tennis lessons can help you identify a strong pattern and recognize when to defend. A tennis coach can review why a point was won or lost and give you one clear adjustment. Try the change in tennis practice before using it in a competitive match.

    Tennis Lessons: Doubles communication

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons for doubles can cover positioning, partner communication and the first shots after serve or return. Tennis coaching helps partners move as a team and decide who covers the middle. Tennis practice should include calling the ball early and agreeing on a simple plan. Clear communication is one way to make doubles more enjoyable for both players.

    Tennis Lessons: Scoring and rules

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons for beginners should include points, games, sets and a tiebreak. Tennis instruction can explain singles and doubles lines and how to call the score before serving. Practice tennis with short games so the rules become familiar. Ask questions about unusual situations before a tournament, rather than guessing when the outcome matters.

    Tennis Lessons: Kids and children

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons for kids should match the child’s coordination, interest and experience. Kids tennis lessons can include simple games, smaller courts and red, orange or green balls. Tennis coaching should give children time to explore movement and ball control. Parents can ask which skills are being taught and what their child can practice between lessons without pressure.

    Tennis Lessons: Adult beginners

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons for adults can introduce the fundamentals at a comfortable pace. Private tennis lessons give you focused feedback, while group tennis classes let you meet other beginners. Tennis coaching should explain each new skill clearly and give you chances to repeat it. You do not need a perfect swing before enjoying a rally or playing a short game.

    Tennis Lessons: Returning players

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    If you last played tennis years ago, tennis lessons can help you rebuild timing and confidence. Tennis coaching can review your current movement and identify which skills need attention. Start tennis practice at a manageable intensity and increase it gradually. Tell your tennis coach about any relevant limitations so the session can be adapted.

    Tennis Lessons: Junior competition

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis training for juniors can build toward varsity matches and USTA competition. Tennis lessons should balance technique, fitness and point play. A tennis coach can help a family think through goals and a realistic schedule. Competitive tennis practice should include handling mistakes and learning from match results, rather than measuring progress by trophies alone.

    Tennis Lessons: Cardio and live ball

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Cardio tennis classes combine tennis practice with active movement. Live ball tennis training uses quick points and repeated decisions to keep players involved. Ask which group tennis classes match your level and fitness. Tennis coaching should stay clear even in a fast-paced session, with appropriate breaks and a warm-up before more intense drills.

    Tennis Lessons: Practice between lessons

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    A tennis lesson plan can include a short task to repeat between sessions. Tennis practice might focus on a reliable toss, controlled rallies or movement without hitting. Tennis coaching is easier to apply when you have a clear goal and a way to check progress. Ask your tennis coach how often to practice and what to prioritize.

    Tennis Lessons: Progress and feedback

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons can track progress through consistency, placement, decision-making and confidence. Tennis coaching should explain what improved and what still needs work. If video is used during tennis practice, agree on its purpose and who can view it. Compare similar drills over time so you see a useful trend instead of judging a single session.

    Tennis Lessons: Courts and weather

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    For outdoor tennis lessons, check the weather and the condition of the court. A maintained facility, clear playing space and appropriate court shoes all matter. Ask your tennis coach about booking rules at the venue and any court fees. Tennis practice at public parks or private facilities may depend on availability, permission and local rules.

    Tennis Lessons: Location and travel

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Los Angeles tennis lessons work best when travel fits your schedule. We teach regularly in North Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Bel Air and Brentwood. For tennis lessons in other areas, share your location and ask about availability. Players in Westwood, Echo Park, Santa Monica and the wider community can ask which tennis coaching options are practical before making plans.

    Tennis Lessons: Private-court arrangements

    Tennis lesson plan Tennis practice

    Tennis lessons at a residential court depend on permission and a suitable playing area. Before arranging tennis coaching, confirm guest access, parking and any rules for instructors. A membership or reservation at a club may be needed. Tennis practice should respect the facility’s schedule and the other members using the space.
