Training guides
21 tips for beginners and intermediate tennis players
These are the most important tips about tennis, says our editorial. We hope this small piece of advice will serve you well
Understand tennis scoring: games, sets and tiebreaks
We briefly explain how tennis scoring works, from love (actually, it is "l'oeuf"), 15, 30 and 40 to deuce, sets and tiebreaks
Complete tennis grip size guide (tips & tricks!)
How to measure your tennis grip size, the full size chart in inches and L numbers, what to do between sizes, and what research says about grip size and tennis elbow.
Tennis grips explained: continental, eastern, semi-western and western
The four main tennis grips, which shot each one is for, how to find them on the handle, and which grip a beginner should learn first.
Choosing the format
Private lessons bring individual feedback and easier to schedule around your trip. It is a solid choice if you want to build confidence before joining a group, or correct a specific technique, or progress at your own pace.
Group training adds the social side of tennis and gives you partners for cooperative drills and simple point play. Group availability and placement depend on the academy, dates, age, and the experience of the other players.
Camps are best for a more structured training week. A half-day program leaves time for sightseeing or the beach, while a full-day program normally combines more court time with fitness or other supervised activities. Compare the schedule and inclusions on each program page rather than choosing by duration alone.
What’s included
Every academy and program has its own schedule and inclusions. The program page shows the planned training hours, location, age groups, available levels, and starting price. Many listed academies can provide coaching in English, but you should check the exact program or ask us to confirm the coaching language for your dates.
Accommodation is included only when it is stated in the program name or details. Racket hire, meals, airport pickup, and daily transfers also vary by venue. Open the program details before booking and send an enquiry if you need equipment or travel support arranged in advance.
Frequently asked questions
Racket availability and rental fees vary by academy. Check the program details or ask Pelotista before booking, especially if you also need tennis shoes or other equipment.
Academies consider factors such as age, experience, and availability when arranging groups. Coaches can adjust placement after seeing you play. If a suitable group is not available for your dates, private lessons may be the better option.
Progress depends on your athletic background, coaching, practice frequency, and how much match play you get. With occasional lessons and little practice between them, you may still find it difficult to sustain rallies or play a complete match after three months.
With consistent coaching and several sessions each week, many beginners can learn to sustain a basic baseline rally, start playing recognizable points, and develop more reliable fundamental strokes.
Mistakes will still be common. The goal is building sound habits that make continued improvement easier.
Start with a coach to learn safe and repeatable fundamentals. You will need to correct major technical problems before they become habits.
Then you should find a regular hitting partner at roughly your level. Consistent practice is more valuable than relying on lessons alone.
This is an example of a balanced beginner routine:
Periodic coaching for technique and suitable drills.
Regular rally practice with a hitting partner.
Match play to learn scoring, positioning, and decision-making.
A ball machine as a supplement when a partner is unavailable.
Gradually increasing the workload, with adequate recovery.
2 short strength sessions per week to support general fitness and resilience.
