The right lesson should give you practical guidance rather than a one-size-fits-all routine. Your coach can focus on the parts of your game that need attention, from racket preparation and timing to court positioning and shot selection.
Whether you are learning the basics, returning to the court or preparing for more competitive play, sessions can be adjusted to your current ability. Lessons may include stroke practice, movement patterns, rallying and simple point-play situations.
Apex Court Academy is based in Burlingame and arranges coaching across nearby Peninsula communities. Contact the team to discuss your preferred location and the lesson options currently available.
Think about how much individual feedback you want, whether you prefer learning with a partner, and what you hope to improve. The academy can help you compare lesson formats before choosing a starting point.
Every format has its strengths, and this table shows which one lines up with your goal. Looking for affordable tennis lessons? Shared sessions and group classes generally give you the most coaching for the money, and we can explain what is currently availabl.
| Format | Best for | What you get | Cost level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Private lesson | Quick technique changes, new players wanting a solid start, competition prep | The coach's undivided attention and a plan designed around you | Highest per session |
| Semi-private | Couples, friends, siblings or a parent and child | Individual feedback with the session and fee shared | Moderate |
| Small group class | Players who like learning alongside others, adults and kids alike | Organized drills, partner rallies and an upbeat court atmosphere | Most affordable |
| Clinics and camps | Players seeking energetic, match-style training | Live-ball drills, conditioning and point play across hours or days | Varies by program |
Your first session is a chance to talk through your goals and get comfortable on court. Wear sports clothing and court-appropriate shoes, bring water, and ask in advance whether a loan racket can be arranged.
Start with a quick conversation about your experience and what you would like to learn, followed by simple movements or rallies to assess your current level.
Your coach selects a small number of useful changes, demonstrates them and gives you time to practise with feedback.
Before you leave, review the key takeaway from the session and agree on a practical skill to work on before your next class.
Junior lessons should match a child’s stage of development. Activities can introduce racket skills and movement first, then gradually add rallying, serving and basic match play as confidence grows.
Learn more on our junior tennis development page, or contact us and we will confirm the best group for your child’s age and level.
The coaching team includes Lucas Rosenberg, a USTA 5.0-rated player, and Eric Dennis, whose tennis background spans more than two decades.
Lessons can be organized around practical targets, giving you a clear focus for each visit and a way to review what you have been practising.
Scheduling depends on coach and court availability. Contact the academy to ask about weekday, weekend or later-day options.
Coaches can demonstrate a technique, watch you try it and offer specific pointers you can apply during the same session.
Questions are welcome at every level. The aim is to make practice constructive and approachable, whether you are new to tennis or rebuilding confidence.
If you play another racket sport, mention it to your coach; some movement and hand-eye coordination skills may carry over, while tennis technique still needs dedicated practice.
Lucas is a USTA 5.0-rated coach of both tennis and pickleball, working with students of all ages and abilities. He adapts each session to the player in front of him, from a first-ever grip to refining an advanced game.
Eric has spent more than two decades in tennis, including USTA tournament play and a collegiate career at the University of Redlands before he turned to coaching. His students benefit from that match experience and his clear, patient way of explaining things.
We bring coaching to public and community courts around the Peninsula so quality instruction is close to home or work. Exact court details are shared once you book.
Pricing varies by coach, session length and whether you book alone or share the court. Contact Apex Court Academy for current rates and available packages.
Consider a shared semi-private session or a group class if one is available for your level. Tell the academy your preferred schedule and budget so it can explain suitable choices.
Lessons may be arranged in Hillsborough and nearby Peninsula communities, subject to court and coach availability. Ask the team to confirm the exact location before your session.
Private coaching can be useful when you want detailed feedback on a particular skill. A coach can help prioritize changes, while regular practice between sessions helps reinforce them.
Private lessons focus on one player, while group classes let participants practise with others and share coaching time. Semi-private sessions offer a middle option for a small number of players.
Adults can begin without previous experience. Early lessons typically introduce ready position, racket control, basic forehands and backhands, then progress to short rallies at a manageable pace.
Readiness depends on the child’s coordination, attention and interest. Younger children often begin with short, playful activities; the academy can discuss suitable options based on age and experience.
Wear comfortable athletic clothing and tennis-appropriate shoes, and bring water. Ask when booking whether a racket can be provided if you do not have one.
A weekly session is a practical starting point for many learners. Players with specific goals may prefer more frequent practice; choose a schedule you can maintain consistently.
Ask about lesson formats for individual players or small groups. The team can discuss pace, experience and scheduling to help you choose an appropriate arrangement.
Look for clear explanations, relevant playing and teaching experience, feedback you can use and a style that fits your learning needs. A first session can help you assess the coaching approach.
Confirm the current cancellation and rescheduling terms when booking, including any different rules that apply to community-court or group sessions.

Begin with grip, ready position and comfortable contact, then practise forehands, backhands and short rallies. Add serving and scoring once the basic movements feel more familiar.
A coaching academy typically focuses on instruction and skill development, while a club may emphasize court access and social play. Check each provider’s current offerings before deciding.
