Q. How many lessons will I need in order to learn to play tennis?
A. Learning to play tennis is a never ending concept. Even as coaches, we are discovering new concepts about tennis every single day. However, we do recommend you do at least an amount of time equivalent to 10 hours of private lessons or 20 hours of group lessons in order to achieve a basic level of playing tennis.
Q. What is the difference between the MLC Tennis Hot Shots program & the Junior Coaching Program?
A. The MLC Tennis Hot Shots program uses low-compression tennis balls, modified nets and a modified tennis court. The emphasis is more on fun and participation. The Junior Coaching program uses normal tennis balls on an actual court. The emphasis is more on techniques, footwork and other technical aspects of tennis. We do, however, strongly encourage every child doing the Junior Coaching program to participate in the MLC Hot Shots program up until they are ready for Match Play on an actual size tennis court.
Q Which lesson is more suitable for me, Group Lessons or Private Lessons?
A. Private Lessons are for faster development, more technical analysis and a lot more hitting practice. Group Lessons will progress slower than Private Lessons, and are more for the social. fun factor and budget concious.. We will encourage all Seniors/Adults players to enrol for a private or semi-private lesson together with a group lesson, if possible, as this will enable them to have fun playing against others while ensuring they are using the correct techniques bio-mechanically.
