Sumario:Beach tennis has recently sparked academic interest, and studies involving its contents and teaching possibilities have proven relevant for expanding discussions within this context. This study aimed to identify and analyze the selected contents and teaching methods used by coaches in initiation. Five coaches from a municipality in the state of São Paulo were interviewed, and their discourses were analyzed through Reflexive Thematic Analysis. Two themes and four subthemes were constructed, revealing that the reported technical-tactical contents partially corroborate with literature accounts. On the other hand, it was noted that coaches rely on teaching approaches that include principles analogous to behaviorism as well as constructivism, also with the perspective of teaching technique before tactics. It is suggested that in initiation, there should be planning of situations allowing for addressing movement/spatial occupation, using the racket against the ball, and making intentional decisions.
