You’ve put in the work on your strokes. Let’s build the engine behind them.
Strength, movement, court patterns, recovery, nutrition and real coach eyes on your video — built for tennis, scaled to the level you walk in at. Move better, hit bigger from the ground up, and play this game for as long as you want to play it.
- Strength + movement
- Pattern Playbook
- Stroke reviews
- Nutrition
- Recovery
- Breath + mental
This is for you if…
- You want to move better — get to more balls, and still be moving in the third set.
- You’re ready for your rating to start climbing again.
- You want shoulders, knees and a back you can stop thinking about.
- You want to get stronger, in a way that is actually built for tennis.
- You intend to play this game for a very long time, and want a body that agrees.
All it asks is two or three sessions a week. Bring that and the rest is handled.
Your game rises with the athlete powering it.
A lesson can give you a better backhand. What turns a better backhand into more wins is everything holding it up — legs that get you there early, a shoulder that is as good in the third set as it was in the first, and the fitness to be the same player on Sunday that you were on Tuesday. That is the part almost nobody trains on purpose, which is exactly why training it works so well. It is also what keeps people in this game for decades instead of seasons. All of it responds to work, and the work starts this week.
Move well, and keep moving well
Move better
Strength and mobility built for the way tennis actually loads a body — so you get to more balls, hit from a stronger base, and have something left in the third.
Stay unbroken
The shoulders, knees, backs and ankles tennis punishes, armoured on purpose — so you stop losing months to the same nagging tweak coming back.
Keep climbing
Patterns, fitness and footwork that win the close ones. Your rating moves when the athlete powering them does.
Nine rooms, one membership
Not a PDF and not a video library you forget the password to. Nine parts of a tennis player, each one built and kept up, all of them open the day you join.
Fitness
The rotation — lifts and agility days in order, forever. Strength, power and the footwork underneath it, programmed so you never open the app wondering what to do.
Pattern Playbook
The shapes points actually take — serve +1, the approach, defending wide. What to hit, where, and why it works against the person across the net.
Stroke reviews
Send video of your serve or backhand and get a real coach’s eyes on it — specific, personal, and as often as you like.
Nutrition
What to eat before a 7am league match, how to get through a weekend tournament, and why you cramp in the third. Practical, not a diet.
Recovery
Routines matched to how you actually feel walking off — fresh, worked, or smoked — so tomorrow is not decided by today.
Breath work
The twenty seconds between points, and the part that keeps your arm loose at four-all. Trainable, like everything else here.
Visualization
The mental side, done as practice rather than as advice — rehearsing points and pressure before you stand in them.
My Game
The Level Test scores you across five pillars — Volume, Execution, Legs, Leverage and Emotions — and names the one holding the rest back. Free, and yours forever.
The Clubhouse + the Box
A room full of people who play, your logging and streaks, member pricing on camps and gear, and the Tennis Bum Box on your doorstep when you join.
It meets you where you actually are.
You pick beginner, intermediate or advanced when you join, and every exercise has three real versions behind it. A beginner squats to a box; an advanced player squats with load — same session, same day, different rung. You move up by clearing the Level Test, not by waiting.
The year ships you the kit
Your Tennis Bum Box lands on your doorstep when you join for the year. Wear the club.
What this costs everywhere else
Hire this team one by one and you’re into thousands a year. The Academy bundles all of it for the price of a couple of lessons.
That’s about $2.73 a day to protect the game you love.
Dal has created an amazing community and website with Tennis Bum Club. We have so many avenues online for other sports that sometimes, things for tennis seem unattainable or gatekept. One thing I love about Tennis Bum Club is the dedicated workouts for tennis. It’s very difficult to find a personal trainer in a gym who can help specifically with tennis. You’d often have to spend an exorbitant amount of money for someone dedicated to tennis. The website will put together a personalized plan for you to follow and the website has an excellent user interface. Not to mention, Dal is extremely active at responding on social media and making all of us “bums” feel seen and heard!
Your rate never goes up
Join at $997/yr and that is what you pay for as long as you stay a member — every new program, every addition, included. Your free Club membership stays free either way.

What level do I need to be?
Any. You choose beginner, intermediate or advanced on the way in and every exercise scales to it, so a first-timer and a competitor can run the same session honestly. You move up by clearing the Level Test.
I’ve got a cranky shoulder or knee already. Can I still do this?
Yes — building resilience there is the whole point. (If you’re currently injured, clear it with your doctor first; then we work around it and rebuild.)
I’ve barely lifted. Is that ok?
Completely. You’re coached through every movement, with form cues and timers, at a pace that builds safely.
How much time does it take?
Two to three sessions a week, built around a busy life. Short, specific, and done — not two hours in a gym.
I already take lessons. How is this different?
Lessons fix your strokes. The Academy builds the athlete powering them — the strength, durability, and fitness that actually move your rating.
Can I cancel?
Anytime, from Settings. You keep access to the end of the period, and your free Club membership never goes away.
