Who This Coach Is For
- Adults with zero or very little tennis experience
- Beginners who feel intimidated joining a tennis class
- Working professionals learning tennis casually, around a full schedule
- Players who want a relaxed, supportive learning environment
Coaching Style
Coach Ray specialises in helping complete beginners feel comfortable on a tennis court. His sessions focus on clear, step-by-step guidance so players build confidence from the very first lesson, and he keeps instructions simple rather than overwhelming new students with technical detail.
Lessons are paced to the individual. That matters more than most beginners expect: adults who start tennis in a class that moves too fast usually conclude the sport is not for them, when the real problem was the pace of instruction. In a stress-free environment, learning tends to feel natural — and students stay with the game long enough to actually get good at it.
Experience & Coaching Focus
- Experienced in coaching beginner and recreational adult players
- Strong focus on fundamentals and proper technique from day one
- Patient, encouraging coaching approach
- Helps new players transition from basics to rallying confidently
- Emphasis on long-term enjoyment and steady skill development
Learning Progression
Coach Ray guides beginners through a structured progression — basic grip and stroke fundamentals first, then consistent rallying, then simple point and match play. Most students gain the coordination and confidence to enjoy real games within a relatively short period, because each session builds deliberately on the last rather than starting over.
Lesson Types & Locations
- Private beginner lessons – one-to-one, fully paced to you
- Small group sessions – learn alongside a partner, friends or family
- Adult starter programme – grip and swing fundamentals through to rallying
Lessons are held at tennis courts across Singapore, including condominium courts and public courts near you. Rather train under cover? TAG’s own Winchester Tennis Arena in Alexandra Park has four sheltered indoor courts, so lessons run rain or shine.
