Your Lesson Structure

If you are a new coach then this video may be helpful as a starting point for structuring your lessons. Each time we go on court we should have a plan as to what areas we are going to cover for the pupil. Obviously if they are a new pupil then we need to analyse were they are level wise and what they want to achieve from their coaching sessions. The video sets out how you can divide your lessons into sections. An established coach will have worked out what works best for them and the video may just be useful as a way of reflecting on what you do and why you do it.

Basic lesson structure. This structure can be used if you want to as a basic coat hanger which you can hang the structure of your lesson on! It works, is relatively straight forward and can be tailored to your own requirements.
