This program, for our AD-IN Elevate Series, is designed for beginner-advanced tennis players who are beginning to rally and want to build a reliable foundation.

The program focuses on stroke development, basic consistency, and learning how to keep the ball in play — helping players move from individual drills into simple rallying and early live-ball situations.

Emphasis is placed on proper technique, timing, and spacing, so players develop confidence and avoid building habits that are difficult to correct later.

With a maximum of six players per session, you'll receive individualized feedback and hands-on correction in a focused, small-group environment. Players will be assessed by the instructor during the first session to ensure the level is appropriate for the group.

Technique remains the priority — but now applied in real game situations. You'll work through forehand and backhand mechanics, volleys, overheads, serve development, and an introduction to live play, progressing from controlled repetition to short rallies to sustained live-ball drills as the series advances.

Throughout the sessions, selected rally segments will be accompanied by music — ranging from modern house to 80s/90s classics and current hits — to create a more dynamic and engaging on-court experience.

Location:

+ Private court at the Hilton Millennium, One UN Plaza, 39th Floor.

+ Limited to only 6 players.

Your Instructor:

You will be led by Pathik Sanghvi, founder of Tennis with a View. A former collegiate player at Ramapo College, Pathik has been coaching since 2001 and has built his reputation on technical precision and disciplined, results-driven instruction.

Over the course of Pathik's career, he has taught at premier indoor and outdoor facilities across New York and New Jersey, served as a Wilson Pro Ambassador, and directed USTA junior competitions throughout the tristate area. Pathik also earned a perfect score on his PTR certification, in both on-court performance and instructional evaluation, a distinction that speaks to the standard he holds himself to.

Pathik's approach is straightforward: every player should leave each session stronger, more fundamentally sound, and measurably better than when they arrived.
