Book a private tennis coach in Des Moines

The 80/20 rule in tennis means that roughly 80% of your results come from mastering just 20% of the skills.

• A reliable serve: a consistent serve reduces double faults and gives you an immediate advantage.
• Solid returns: a steady return neutralizes your opponent's serve and opens up rallies.
• Court positioning: moving early to the right spot makes every shot easier to execute.
• Point construction: choosing the right shot at the right time wins more points than raw power.

Working with a tutor lets you focus on the fundamentals that matter most for your level.

• Adapted equipment: programs like Red Ball tennis use modified courts and equipment for kids under 8.
• No age limit: tennis is a lifelong sport and adults of any age can learn and enjoy it.
