Racquetball lessons: a guide for pros
What customers ask, how to win the job, and what to put on your profile.
Offering racquetball lessons
You teach players serves, shots, court positioning and rules. Your lessons work best when you start with the ready position and court coverage, then build shot selection from there.
What customers ask
- Can you teach me to win rallies?
- Do I need eye protection?
- Do you run group play?
- How do I stop getting stuck in the back court?
- How long until I can join a league?
- What should I bring to the first lesson?
How to win the job
- On the first call, ask the player's level, singles or doubles interest and any league plans, then say what you will start with
- Watch the serve and ready position on the first session before you change anything
- Use wall drills that show how the angle off the side wall changes the next shot
- Put lesson format, length, court location and eye protection requirements in the quote
- Teach shot selection with a simple rule the player can remember, such as when to use a ceiling shot
- End each session with a wall drill the player can repeat alone
What to put on your profile
- Photos of your lessons in the court, with player consent, showing drills and footwork
- Your certification listed by name, if you hold one
- The levels you teach, from beginner to club league
- The courts where you teach and whether you provide loaner racquets or eye protection
- Whether you run group clinics or private lessons
Follow-up that helps the customer
- A home wall drill sheet with a target for the next session
- A shot selection lesson for players who are ready to play matches
- A group clinic for practice with players at the same level
- A recheck session before a club season or league start
Licenses and permits
No license is usually required to coach racquetball. Keep any coaching certification current, carry liability insurance if the club requires it, and check with your state or local licensing agency for rules that apply where you teach.
Questions
Do I need insurance to teach at a club?
Many clubs and courts ask for proof of liability insurance before a coach can teach on site. Check the facility rules and keep your certificate on your profile.
How do I handle a player who ignores the ready position?
Use a short drill that shows how far the ball goes when the player is set and how much time they lose when they are not. Let the player feel the difference in a rally.
