Kahramanmaras Beginner Tennis Training

This beginner tennis course in Kahramanmaraş, famous for its ice cream, aims to turn even those who have never held a racket into confident players on court in a short time. Alongside our experienced instructors, at easily accessible facilities in the Onikişubat and Dulkadiroğlu districts, you learn the fundamentals patiently and with correct technique. This course is not competition preparation; it is designed for you to enjoy tennis and movement. We start from the very beginning, at your own pace.

Why start tennis in Kahramanmaraş?

Kahramanmaraş, at the foot of Mount Ahır, has a continental climate, with hot dry summers and cold winters. The most enjoyable time for outdoor courts is therefore the mild weeks of spring and autumn. In summer, the early morning hours or the evening cool are suitable; the dry air keeps sweating from being bothersome. In winter, training continues without interruption at indoor facilities near the city center. The city's young and dynamic population, along with growing sports facilities, is raising interest in tennis.

What is in the training program?

Training begins with your first encounter with the racket. First you learn the grips: eastern for the forehand, continental for serve and net play, and one- or two-handed for the backhand. Then come the basic stance, weight transfer and footwork, learning to reach the ball in the right position through the split-step, side shuffles and recovery steps. On the forehand we work on the backswing, hip and torso rotation and a fluid finish; on the backhand, shoulder rotation and a balanced conclusion. The serve is introduced with the ball toss, rhythm and basic motion. Through drills that strengthen hand-eye coordination you learn to meet the ball at the right moment, along with court rules, lines and tennis's scoring system (15-30-40, advantage, set, match).

Weekly flow and equipment

Lessons run twice a week in one-hour sessions, each beginning with a dynamic warm-up and stretching, continuing with technical work, and ending with short rallies. If you do not have a racket we provide equipment support and recommend suitable court shoes; slow balls are used for beginners. In small groups of up to six, the instructor attends to everyone one-on-one.

What do you gain as you progress?

By the end of the first month you can perform a consistent basic forehand and backhand, and in the second month begin play with a serve. Tennis is an enjoyable sport that develops balance, reflexes, concentration and fitness together. Within a few months you reach a level where you can play enjoyable matches with friends.
