This program, for our AD-IN Elevate Series, is designed for complete beginner tennis players who want to learn the game correctly from the start and build a strong, reliable foundation.

The program emphasizes stroke development, basic consistency, and keeping the ball in play — helping players progress from individual drills to simple rallies with sound mechanics.

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

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

Training is built around repetition-based technique work — progressing from controlled repetition to short rallies to sustained exchanges across forehand and backhand mechanics, footwork, approach shots, volleys, overheads, and serves. Each session builds directly on the last.

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.

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.
