Group tennis lessons — $55 a player

Small enough that you still get coached, competitive enough that you get pushed, and the least expensive way into structured coaching we offer. Bring three friends or tell us your level and we will try to place you.

Why three or four and not twelve

The cheapest tennis coaching in Los Angeles is a large clinic, and the reason it is cheap is that the coach is divided twelve ways. You get movement, you get a workout, and you get roughly four minutes of individual attention across an hour.

At three or four players the maths changes completely. The coach can still watch each player hit properly, corrections still land, and there is enough of a group for competitive drills and point play that a private lesson cannot produce. It is the sweet spot, and it is why we cap groups where we do.

At $55 a player it also happens to be the best value on this site by a distance.

How a group session runs

Warm-up and movement, then a technical focus that everyone works on with individual corrections, then drills that build into live-ball games, then competitive point play — usually with some kind of scoring format so the hour has stakes.

The format works for adult friends who play together, for parents who want their children to train alongside friends, and for junior groups of a similar standard. What it does not work for is a group with a wide level spread — someone always ends up bored and someone always ends up lost.

Bringing your own group, or joining one

The simplest version is that you already have three or four people. Tell us the group, the rough level and when you can all make it, and we will run it.

If you do not have a group, tell us your level and what times work and we will try to match you with others looking for the same thing. We will not put you in a group that is a poor fit just to fill it — if the match is not there, we will say so and suggest a semi-private or a private instead.

Both coaches run group sessions and both take any level. Junior groups usually sit with Hayk and adult or competitive groups with Markos, but that follows the diary rather than a rule. The $55 per player rate is the same either way.

Who this is for

This is the right session if…

You have a group already

Friends, siblings, or a doubles four who want to be coached together rather than just hitting.

Budget matters

$55 a player is structured coaching at close to public-clinic pricing, without the twelve-person queue.

You want the competition

Point play and competitive drills that a one-on-one session simply cannot recreate.

Kids train better with friends

A lot of children stick with tennis far longer when the hour is social as well as instructional.

What the hour looks like

A session, start to finish

01

Warm-up and movement

Dynamic warm-up and rallying that gets everyone moving and lets the coach read the group.

02

One shared focus

A single technical theme worked by everyone, with individual corrections as it goes.

03

Live-ball drills

Competitive drills built on the theme, with enough intensity that it stops being a rehearsal.

04

Points with a format

Games, king of the court or team scoring — an ending with something on the line.

Your coach

Both coaches take these sessions

Either coach runs group sessions at any level — junior groups usually with Hayk, adult and competitive groups usually with Markos. $55 per player either way.

FAQ

Questions about group lessons

What is the maximum group size?

Four. Beyond that a coach cannot see enough of each player for corrections to land, and the session becomes exercise rather than coaching.

What if I do not have a group?

Tell us your level and the times that work and we will try to place you with players who match. If we cannot find a genuine fit we will say so rather than putting you in a group that will not work.

Can we mix adults and juniors in one group?

Usually not a good idea unless the levels are genuinely close. Level spread, not age, is what ruins a group session.

Is $55 per player or for the whole group?

Per player, per hour. Three players is $165 for the hour, four is $220 — and the court is included.

Do you run camps or holiday clinics?

Junior camps and holiday programs are part of where this business is going, and we will announce them here when dates are set. In the meantime, group sessions can be booked as a block through a school break.
