1. One-on-One Attention
In a private lesson, the coach can focus 100% on your child:
-
Correct grip, swing and footwork in real time
-
Tailor drills to your child's learning style
-
Spend more time on the specific shots or movements they need help with
Even 20–30 minutes of one-on-one time can make a big difference.
2. Faster Skill Progression
Private lessons help:
-
Reinforce what’s taught in group sessions
-
Develop good habits early (before bad ones settle in)
-
Improve rallying, consistency, and technique faster
This often results in more confidence and quicker transitions through Red → Orange → Green ball levels.
3. Build Confidence and Focus
Some children thrive in a quieter, less competitive environment.
-
Private lessons help shy or new players feel safe to ask questions
-
Kids get more reps without waiting in line
-
The attention makes them feel important and successful
4. Tailored to Age, Energy & Personality
Whether your child is:
-
Super active and needs challenges,
-
A bit unsure and needs encouragement, or
-
Keen on competition...
…the lesson can be custom-fit to them, something group coaching can’t always do.
5. Great for Match Prep or Hot Shots Challenges
Private lessons are perfect before:
-
Hot Shots match play
-
Club “fun days”
-
School tennis carnivals
-
Moving up to the next colour level
They help your child walk onto court feeling confident and prepared.
BONUS: It Makes Group Lessons Even Better
Private sessions can support what’s being taught in group Hot Shots classes — giving your child extra tools, feedback, and fun mini goals to work on between sessions.
