Private and Small Group Lessons
Private and small group lessons provide a learning environment that allows for maximum individual attention. Lessons can be designed and customized for each player working to give them the tools to reach their goals. Working with coaches in this setting can help monitor a player's progress and overall development. This environment can benefit both new and experienced players.
