Everyone starts somewhere — and there is no better place to begin than TAG International Tennis Academy. Our beginner lessons are patient, encouraging, and expertly structured, so you build proper technique and real confidence from your very first session.
Who This Is For
This programme is designed for complete beginners of every age: children swinging a racket for the first time, adults trying tennis as a new hobby or for fitness, and returning players who want to relearn the right way. No experience, no equipment expertise, and no pressure — just a friendly, professional start.
What You Will Learn
We focus on getting the foundations right, because good habits early make everything easier later. You will learn how to hold the racket, the core groundstrokes (forehand and backhand), the basics of serving and returning, simple net play, and how to move on court. Within a few sessions, most beginners are rallying and enjoying real, playable tennis.
Format & Levels
Begin with private one-to-one lessons for maximum comfort and the fastest progress, or join a beginner group class for a fun, social, and more affordable introduction. As you improve, we progress you smoothly into intermediate coaching — your journey is mapped out from day one.
Why Beginners Choose TAG
- A relaxed, sheltered place to learn. Our own indoor Winchester Tennis Arena in Alexandra Park keeps you out of the sun and rain — ideal for new players finding their feet, rain or shine.
- Patient, professional coaches. Our 11 accredited (ITF / LTA / STA) ex-professional coaches are experts at teaching first-timers; this is real coaching, not a freelancer with spare time.
- Founder expertise. Coach XT (ITF World No. 56, PTR-certified, NUS Law alumnus) sets the standard for how we build players from the ground up.
- Convenient and island-wide. Start near your home or office, including at your condo, or at venues such as TAG @ One-North, Chinese Swimming Club, and NUSS @ Kent Ridge.
- Proven experience: over 10,000 students since 2001.

Frequently Asked Questions
I have never held a racket — can I really start from zero?
Yes, absolutely. Our beginner lessons are built for complete first-timers, and our coaches specialise in making your first sessions easy, fun, and confidence-building.

Do I need my own racket and gear to begin?
Just comfortable sports attire and court shoes to start. Get in touch and we will advise on a suitable beginner racket.
How quickly will I be able to play?
Most beginners are rallying and playing simple points within a few sessions, thanks to our structured, foundations-first approach.
