There is always the dilemma of deciding between private or group tennis lessons. There are pros and cons for both. However, I would suggest that one should try both types of lessons out first before deciding on which one would be more suitable in improving your tennis game. Generally, for beginners, it is better to have private lessons as you will be able to learn more and faster. Group lessons can them be used to reinforce the techniques already learned during individual tennis lessons.
Next to really good exercise are the social advantages of joining an adult group tennis lesson. This is a fantastic way to meet new people and establishing contacts makes it worthwhile for an adult to sign up for tennis lessons. Group tennis lessons are always available at the local tennis clubs and facilities. Some people get a little nervous about learning in a crowd, but there really is nothing to be afraid about in a group atmosphere. Everyone is ordinarily at the same level and can learn from watching classmates.
Learning tennis alone can be boring and lonely. However, if in a group, one can be more encouraged and less lonesome. Learning tennis in a group also spurs one another on. Human beings tend to look and imitate and try to out play each other. The end result is an improved situation for all beginner tennis players.
The competitive instinct in all of us is brought out to the fore when we have other people around us. There is that natural desire to out-play each other, to show that you are better than another person. This competitive streak in us, if harnessed correctly, will spur each person to improve faster and focus better.
There is another advantage adult group tennis lessons have for the beginner who is shifting from a sedentary to an active lifestyle. A private lesson may involve an enormous amount of exercise that the person is not yet physical ready to do. Frankly, because there are a number of people an instructor has to worry about; a beginner will hit fewer balls and run a lot fewer laps in a group class. Later, when that beginner has begun to physically improve, he or she can take more intense and physical lessons.
Adults need a way to easily connect and relate to others on a social level. Taking tennis lessons with a group of adults allows for exercise and a chance to meet new people. The benefits are definitely worth the cost of the lesson.
Given the high cost of living in Singapore, learning tennis in a group environment would reduce the cost for each individual as the per lesson fee is spread out across more people. In Singapore, each person can expect to pay from $20-25 per hour for a group lesson as compared to having to fork out at least $70 per hour for private individual lessons.
Another positive benefit of learning tennis in a group setting is the physical security it provides i.e. safety in numbers. This is more so if you are a lady and having private lessons with a coach in a rather private tennis court. It is just something to consider if you are a lady and is not so sure about the 'private' situation you are putting yourself into.
Normally, adult group tennis lessons are conducted after hours whereby more people can participate. This could be seen as positive to some but negative to others as the lessons conducted may not be suitable for some, especially adult parents who have to return home to their family. Hence, perhaps, private lessons may be more suitable from a timing point of view.
