How much are group tennis lessons?

$50 per player per hour for groups of three or more. Any court or reservation fee is stated before the session is confirmed.

How many people can be in a group?

Three to six works on one court. Beyond that the session needs a second court or it turns into standing in line, which nobody is paying for.

Can our group be mixed levels?

Usually yes. Mixed groups work best when the session leans toward rallying, movement and handicapped games rather than one narrow technical topic.

Can you find other players to fill our group?

Sometimes. I cannot promise a match, but tell me your area and level and I will say whether anyone nearby is looking.

Can a group run weekly at the same time?

Yes, and standing weekly slots are the easiest thing to hold. Recurring groups get first choice of times in their area.

What if one player cannot make it?

The session still runs. Let me know in advance so the drills are built for the number of players actually coming.

Group Lessons

Group tennis lessons in Los Angeles

Three or more players on one court, with a session designed around the group that actually shows up.

Group tennis lessons in Los Angeles work like small, private tennis classes: your group, your court, one coach. Group lessons exist because tennis is more fun with other people, and because a shared court and a shared rate make regular coaching affordable for a lot of players who would not book privately.

The trade is honest: fewer individual corrections per player, more live ball, more competition, more laughing. For a friend group or a family, that is usually the right trade.

03What suits your group

Beginner group: Fundamentals everyone can use plus a lot of short-court rallying, which is how a group of new players starts having real rallies inside a few sessions.
Mixed-level group: Leans toward movement, consistency games and handicapped point play so the gap between players stops mattering.
Experienced group: Doubles formations, serve and return patterns and competitive point play with constraints.

01In detail

Group size changes the session completely

Three players can still work on technique, because the rotation is quick and everyone is hitting almost continuously. At five or six, technical work starts to mean standing in a line, so the session moves toward movement, rallying games and point play formats where every player is involved.

This is why I ask for the number of players before quoting a plan. The number decides the entire structure, not just how crowded the court is.

Groups that already exist work best

The strongest groups are ones that already play together: neighbors who share a building court, four friends who hit on Saturdays, a family that wants a standing weekend session. The social part is already solved and the coaching just gets added on top.

If you have three people and want a fourth, say so. I cannot promise a match, but I do know who is looking in each part of the service area.

02The session

How a group session runs

Groups live or die on how little time anyone spends standing still, so the format is built around continuous involvement.

01
First 10 minutes
Everyone moving
Short-court rallying in pairs rather than a line at the baseline. Nobody watches the warmup from behind a fence.
02
Next 20 minutes
A skill, rotated fast
One theme for the day, broken into small rotations so each player gets frequent turns and a correction each round.
03
Next 20 minutes
Live ball games
Competitive formats with a rule attached: king of the court, first to seven, crosscourt only. The rule teaches the lesson.
04
Last 10 minutes
Play it out
Doubles points or a scored finish, so the group leaves having actually competed.

04Who it's for

Friend groups
Families
Beginner groups starting from scratch
Recreational players who already play together
Small private groups on a shared court

05What a session may focus on

Fundamentals everyone can use
Rallying and consistency games
Movement and spacing
Serving practice with rotation
Point play formats
Doubles basics

06Setting up a group

Send the number of players, the rough level of each and where the court is. Larger groups sometimes need two courts, which is worth knowing before the day.

Groups organised by one person are easiest: one contact, one schedule, one total. I am happy to keep a group running weekly at a standing time.

Size: Three or more players
Rate: $50 per player, per hour
Court: One court, two for larger groups
Tell me: Number of players and levels
