Why Play Tennis In A Group

By Davis Pete


If you are not sure if you should take private or group tennis lessons, please read on to find out more. You will be pleasantly surprised by the many positive experiences you can get from attending an adult group tennis lesson course. This is not to say private lessons are no good. Each type of tennis lesson will serve its purpose.

Playing and learning tennis in a group allow one to mingle and socialise with other people. This is an important way of getting to know people. Apart from having something in common, learning tennis together can enhance one's self esteem as well. One will also be spurred on by others when learning tennis together.

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.

Group tennis lessons allow one who is not so fit to slow ease into the game. This is because in a group the tennis lesson can be more spread out as there is more than one person. This will allow each student more time to rest.

Tennis is essentially a game of acquired skill. It takes concentration and one on one instruction may be intimidating for a beginner. Group lessons encourage support and a beginner usually feels much better after one or two group lessons. That new person to tennis is also able to develop a network of new friends who share the same hobby, and close relationships lasting for years can come from the training sessions.

Group tennis lessons tend to be more affordable on an hourly basis. This is because the coaching cost is spread out across a few students. As such, more people can come to learn the game of tennis.

Learning tennis in a group may be seen as safer as one is surrounded by many people. This is in contrast to private lessons which has only the coach and you. Loneliness and perhaps a sense of self consciousness may set in and this may have a negative mental effect on you learning the game.

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.
