PLAY • HEALTH • DEVELOPMENT
Tennis taught properly from the very first grip. PHD Tennis Academy builds the complete fundamentals of the game — for juniors and adults, first-time players and returning ones.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
The letters in our name are the three promises behind every lesson: play the game with joy, grow healthier through it, and develop skills that keep improving for life.
P
Tennis is a game first. We learn by rallying, playing points, and enjoying the game itself — not by standing in lines — so players fall in love with playing from day one.
H
Tennis is a lifetime sport. Correct technique and smart movement protect joints, build fitness, and keep players of every age active for decades.
D
Progress you can see. Each fundamental builds on the last, with clear goals at every stage — from a first rally to confident match play.
THE CURRICULUM
Every lesson at PHD works from the same complete foundation — the eight fundamentals every tennis player needs. Select any fundamental to see what it covers and how it is practiced.
TRY IT — RULES & SCORING
Tennis scoring confuses every beginner — love, fifteen, deuce, advantage. Call the points yourself below and watch how a game is won.
YOU
0
:
OPPONENT
0
Press a button each time a point is won. First to 4 points, by 2, takes the game.
| 0 pts | “Love” |
| 1 pt | 15 |
| 2 pts | 30 |
| 3 pts | 40 |
| 4 pts | Game — if ahead by 2 |
At 40–40 the score is deuce. From deuce, a player must win two points in a row: the first gives advantage, the second wins the game. Lose the advantage point and it is deuce again.
Win 6 games — by 2 — to take a set. At 6 games all, a tiebreak decides it: first to 7 points, again by 2. Matches are usually best of 3 sets.
THE LEARNING PATH
New players follow the same pathway, at their own pace. Every stage builds directly on the one before it.
1
Hold the racket correctly and learn the split step — the base every shot stands on.
2
Forehand and backhand with a full, relaxed swing and a consistent contact point.
3
A reliable serve to start every point, and the confidence to finish points at the net.
4
Play real points: keep score, call lines fairly, and understand match formats.
5
Target drills and coached match play turn technique into a game that holds up under pressure.
