Complete beginner starting out: Should I do private or group lessons?
Question as per title.
I’m thinking of starting with tennis, and wonder if I should do private or group lessons.
Group lessons cost about 1/3 of the price of private lessons, but I would have to be in group of 4 to 6 people, and obviously would not have that much attention or support from the coach.
Private lessons would cost more, but is more flexible (time wise), I imagine I would also receive more pointers, but since it is more expensive I would probably only do 2 hours weekly, instead of 4 hours if I choose to do group lessons.
Another option: I could also start out with group lessons and then move to private lessons when I already learned the basics or maybe I could find 2 person lessons instead?
I would like to know everyone’s opinions and how you started out. If you have experience in taking group lessons, I would want to hear about that too!
Thank you so much.
