How do I make a training plan for total beginners and experienced players? I am in a highschool club and I don’t know how I could possibly teach total beginners and experienced players at the same time. Please help.

You cant do it, you need seperate groups. I am sure once Paul reads this he will give the same advice. It is different skills you are teaching. The basics will bore an advanced player.

 

You also have the ask the question of do they want to learn new skill or just play about. You will probably find more advanced players just want to play being told the odd piece of info rather than having a dedicated proper training session. 

 

If you do want to go down this route with your club, show them small things at a time and then let them play to have fun.

 

I only ever had 1 club of complete novices ask me to coach the club for one night as they were wanting to enter our league and they wanted me to show them tactics such as where to stand in doubles and mixed and when to go sides and front/back. I have to admit I did enjoy it. A few of them became decent lower league players

I concur that you need separate groups.

However, I am no coach but may I suggest to make a few of the experienced players your partner in training the beginners…
I believe this can also bond you guys better.

Whenever you are teaching groups you have to keep the group moving at the right pace. you cannot do this if you mix abilities or try to teach the same things to different groups.

 

The best way is to write seperate plans for each group and to monitor carefully each session. Never lose sight of basics with any group and do not be afraid to teach the basics again and again. After all, they are the building blocks to higher skill levels. Without these the players cannot reach their highest potential.
