Group vs. private — what should a beginner pick?

Start with 2-3 private lessons to build fundamentals, then join a group. Group alone from day one works, but the ramp is slower.

How many people are in a typical group?

Four to eight players. Adult groups usually run 5-6, junior groups 5-8 depending on age and level. Groups are never larger than what allows real reps for each player.

What if I feel like the group is too easy or too hard?

Let me know — moving up or down a level is normal and expected. Skill groups are checked and adjusted regularly.

Do I need to commit to a full season?

No. Groups are pay-per-session. Attend the weeks you can, skip the weeks you cannot.

Group Tennis Lessons in Indianapolis

$26 adult / $30 junior

Group tennis is the most under-rated format in coaching. You get consistent reps, real match-like moments, and a set of playing partners you can call for a hit outside of lessons. For players on a budget or those who thrive on the social side of the sport, group is often the best long-term format.

Groups in Indianapolis run year-round on a weekly schedule. Adult groups meet on evenings and weekend mornings; junior groups run after school and on weekends. Every group is skill-grouped and re-checked as players improve — moving up is a normal part of the progression.

Adult group

Weekly one-hour sessions, $26 per player. Skill-grouped so the beginners are not stuck rallying with 4.0 players and vice versa. Sessions blend stroke work, pattern drills, and short point play. Most weeks have a specific technical focus so you leave with one thing you are better at.

Junior group

Weekly one-hour sessions, $30 per player. Age- and level-grouped. Younger juniors use red-orange-green ball formats on short courts; older juniors play full-court yellow ball. Groups typically have four to eight juniors for a good ratio of instruction to court time.

Group vs. private for different players

For social adult players who mostly want to enjoy the game and slowly improve, group alone is a great fit. For adults with specific goals — league play, tournament entry, breaking a plateau — the best format is one private per week plus one group. Juniors typically start in group and add private lessons once tournament goals emerge.

Social benefits of group play

One of the least talked-about benefits of group tennis is the community. Most group members end up calling each other for hits outside of lessons, forming doubles teams, and organizing casual round-robins. The group is often how new adult players find their tennis social life in Indianapolis.

How to join

Book a single session via the site; every new group member gets a short assessment hit before their first full session to place them in the right skill level. There is no long-term commitment — pay as you go, week by week.
