Swapfolk / Skills / Tennis

Tennis lessons in Austin, traded instead of paid.

Find someone in Austin who knows tennis and wants what you know. You teach them your thing, they teach you theirs. A trade, not a lesson you pay for.

Austin opens at 30 founding members.

Tennis is one of the most searched lessons in Austin and one of the easiest to swap, because the city is full of strong recreational players who would trade an hour of hitting and coaching for something they want to learn. A pro charges by the hour. A 4.0 player who wants your skill charges you an hour of teaching.

What a tennis swap looks like

You meet at a public court. Session one is grip, a short rally from the service line, and one fix for whatever is sending your forehand into the net. After that it is hitting with someone better than you, which is how everyone actually improves. Austin Parks and Recreation runs public courts across Austin if you need somewhere to play.

Questions about tennis swaps

What does the first tennis swap cover?
Usually grip, a rally from the service line, and the one fix that gets your forehand over the net consistently. After that you and your partner decide what to work on next.
How much do tennis lessons cost on Swapfolk?
Nothing in money. You trade a skill you have for tennis. Paid sessions may be an option later, but the trade is the core of Swapfolk.
Where in Austin do tennis swaps happen?
Wherever the two of you agree: a coffee shop, a park, a kitchen, a gym, a studio, or on video. Most swaps meet somewhere central, east or south, and the form asks which part of Austin you are in so matches are close.
What can I trade for tennis?
Anything you are good at. The people offering tennis on Swapfolk have asked for portuguese, languages, marketing help, cooking and music, but every list is different. Put what you know on the form.
