Welcome
Hi there, and welcome to TennisCompanion!
We’re so excited you stopped by and can’t wait to help you learn more about how to play tennis. As you may have noticed, finding quality online resources that provide helpful tennis instruction can be challenging so that you can learn more about the sport.
That’s precisely why we’ve created this website: TennisCompanion, a free resource that helps people like you learn more about tennis and improve their game.
Whether you’re picking up a racquet for the first time and looking to learn the basics, have experience, and are looking to take your game to the next level, or have years of competitive experience and are looking to fine-tune your game, TennisCompanion has instructional materials for all levels of play, and we look forward to sharing with you.
Instruction For All Ages & Levels of Play
Beginner
If you’re new to tennis, we’re excited to have you. Tennis is a fantastic sport that we’re confident anyone at any level can thoroughly enjoy. As you’ll also find, tennis is a lifetime sport you can play well into your later years.
The sport has something for everyone: a mix of surfaces, team and solo competition, and a worldwide community of competitive and recreational tennis players. We look forward to helping you learn as much as possible to get the most out of tennis and enjoy your time on the court.
Intermediate
We also welcome those of you who have been hitting the court for some time. As you’ve already learned, tennis is as challenging as it’s fun, and there’s always something new and rewarding to learn.
Whether you’re looking to turn an already consistent second serve into a weapon, want to strengthen your backhand so it doesn’t get picked on, or improve your net game so that you can take control of the court, we look forward to providing you with learning resources and instructional materials that will help take your game to the next level.
Advanced
As your game evolves and you master your strokes, you’ll enter a different realm of the sport. At this stage, fitness, strategy, and mental toughness (essential at all game levels) can make a difference. We recognize this and provide tennis instruction to help you gain an edge and overcome opponents.
Actionable Instruction You Can Start Using Today
We get it. Whether you’re just coming off a tough loss, struggling with your second serve, losing consistency in your forehand, or feeling like you’re in a slump, you’re looking for tennis instruction to apply to your game today.
As tennis players, we recognize that the game is a mental rollercoaster full of ups and downs, challenges, and struggles. You can go from feeling like Roger or Serena one day to losing to the worst pusher ever to play the game next. You can go from a serving machine with pinpoint accuracy to serving double faults like it’s your job. And, perhaps the most difficult, you can go from feeling like a rockstar on the court to wondering why you ever picked up a racquet in the first place… yes, we get that too.
The fact is, tennis is complex. It’s one of the few mainstream sports played without a team, so you’re stuck with yourself when you fall into a mental rut. Subtle changes to your form or footwork can dramatically impact your shots’ effectiveness. Even the court surface or tension of your strings can completely throw you off.
The good news is that you’re not in this alone. At TennisCompanion, we’re passionate about truly useful tennis instruction that you can apply today to help you improve your game. As a result, we’re continually developing learning materials that solve real problems. We’re constantly listening to our community to try and understand which topics we can cover to help you fix problems or take your game to the next level.
