How much does a coach cost?

Question

how much does a coach cost for teaching 2 hours 6 days a week? roughly how much would it be?

are all coaches the same?

do i need a coach or can i teach myself tennis? HELP!!!!

Answer 1

Bottom line ... expensive. Prices will vary depending on your location and the experience of your coach.

I'd recommend starting with a group lesson first, to see if it's a sport you'd really like to invest your time and money in. And no, you cannot teach yourself tennis at least not effectively or [most likely] correctly.

Like everything and everyone all coaches are not the same. I recently got back into tennis after many years of not playing and even though I used to play competitively I'm taking group lessons once a week. My game has improved tremendously. I found a coach locally via the USTA web site, which is where I recommend you look.

The main site is: http://www.usta.com

The link for the Community Tennis Association locator: http://www.usta.com/GetInvolved/CTA_Loca...

Good luck!

Answer 2

you definatley need a coach but when you go to the group on Saturday ask him would he hit with you and would he know any people you could hit with.:)

Answer 3

Well do you want private lessons or group?

If you are looking for private(this is based on my coach) it is 65 dollars an hour and by what you want 780 six days. Which is a ton of money especially if you are just learning.

I would advise going to you local tennis club and ask for group lessons, they help your game a lot and they arent as expensive.

What I do is take a lesson or two a week and the rest of the days work on different aspects.

For example:

Monday: Serving

Tuesday: Lesson and Doubles Match after

Wednesday: Rally with a friend/ ball machine

Thursday:Lesson and Singles Match after

Friday: Run(Sprints and other speed drills)

Staurday and Sunday are normally rest days unless I have a tournament or something.

Thats what I do, it is kind of insane though lol, but it really helps your game. Plus you can always take days off here and there.

Good Luck!!
