PROGRAM OVERVIEW

his AD-IN Elevate Series is designed for advanced beginner 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.

TRAINING STRUCTURE

The focus is on learning to rally, improving consistency, and gradually introducing live-ball play.

Players progress step by step - from controlled repetition → short rallies → sustained rallies → live-ball drills, with each session building on the previous one.

Weeks 1-2: Key Strokes

Focus: Clean technique, improved timing, and consistent contact

Week 1:

Forehands (1st hour)

Backhands (2nd hour)

Emphasis on proper technique and controlled repetition. Introduction to very short, cooperative rallies

Week 2:

Review forehands and backhands (1st hour)

Introduction to volleys (2nd hour)

Overheads introduced

Continued focus on keeping the ball in play

Weeks 3-4: Technique & Controlled Development

Focus: Turning strokes into patterns and improving decision-making

Week 3:

Forehands & backhands: consistency and simple direction (1st hour)

Overheads and serves (2nd hour)

Introduction to basic court positioning

Introduction to approach shots

Rallying with movement (controlled)

Week 4:

Continued baseline work: consistency and repetition (1st hour). Introduction to approach shots and moving forward (2nd hour), baseline to net progression (groundstrokes → volleys → overheads), serve review if time allows, sustained rallying with movement and control

Week 5: Integration & Match Application

Focus: Bringing everything together in realistic scenarios

1st hour: Full stroke integration

Forehands, backhands, volleys, overheads, serves

Emphasis on consistency + intent

2nd hour: Controlled live play

Cooperative → semi-competitive drills

Doubles-based scenarios (positioning, communication, patterns)

Guided point play

Technique remains the priority - but now applied in real game situations

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.

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.
