5 Simple Steps to Start a Tennis Coaching Business(What I would do)

Tennis Coaching Business Mastery

Hey coaches, hope everyone’s doing alright😄 today I’m going to be talking about how exactly I would start a tennis coaching business. 1. Market Research The very first thing I would do is start researching all the other coaching practices in my area and start identifying the successful practices. I’d classify practices as successful by looking at their reviews, how long they’ve been in business, & how much traffic their website is getting (take their website and plug it into similarweb.com). Now I would study these successful businesses and take notes on what I like they’re doing, so I can model it for my own business. If they’ve been in business for awhile, then they’ve probably already done the research and testing for me, and I can just model they’re success. 2. Courts I would look around my area for public tennis courts and check if they have any reservation system in place. I’d favor reserved courts over public open courts because it gives you more control. I would then reserve a few slots throughout the week to run some lessons. As your practice picks up you’ll want to get in contact with the admin of the courts to partner up and get consistent times every week. 3. Set Up Your Website/Social Media Next I would set up my website and my social channels. Either pay for a cheap website or start a free 2 week trial on a website builder and set it up, you really don’t need anything fancy here. Absolutely make sure you create your GoogleMyBusiness to start getting in front of as many people as you can. Set up some social media profiles as well (Instagram, Facebook etc). Be sure to capture pictures and videos from your first practices so you can upload them to everything mentioned in this paragraph. 4. Market Free Lessons Now you wanna get the word out to as many people as possible. Friends, family, coworkers. They don’t have to be people you think play tennis, but just let them know and I’m positive they’ll know some tennis players in their circles, you never know! I recommend you offer free lessons for atleast your first 1-2 weeks. You’ll get a much bigger turnout rate, people will be much more inclined to come out for free. Which is exactly what your business needs in the beginning, as much exposure as possible. I’ve only listed free options here, but if you’d like you can use Facebook ads to promote this as well. 5. Deliver Now is your time to show out. You’ve spent a lot of time trying to get all of these wonderful people to come out and give you a chance. Before you have your lesson, you should have a general plan you’ll follow for the practice. I’d start with a group exercise to assess everyone’s skill and go from there. Share your skill with these people, have fun with them, treat them like your friends. Just be yourself and you’ll attract the people that like you, and the people who don’t like you will just leave! And that’s alright because you don’t want to work with those people anyways. I wanted to leave this post with one of my favorite motivational quotes: “In the beginning, you’re gonna suck. And you’re gonna keep sucking for a while. But one day you’re going to suck so little, that you’ll actually be good.” If that inspired at least anyone then I’ll be happy🙂 I also made a video going into more depth on this: https://youtu.be/AjhApT60n5U Go ahead and join the free FaceBook Group!👇🏻👇🏻 https://www.facebook.com/groups/467198404159881/ Follow me on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/ethankhwaja Friend me on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/ethan.khwaja.3 Anyways coaches I hope you enjoyed this post!
