FAQ and Booking Policies

Short answers, clear rules, so you know exactly how private lessons work before you register.

What are private tennis lessons and private pickleball lessons?
Private lessons are one-on-one coaching sessions tailored to your goals, level, and schedule. You get focused feedback, customized drills, and faster improvement than group classes.
Do you offer a free trial lesson?
No, we do not offer free trials. Instead, every new client is protected by our satisfaction guarantee: if your first lesson is not right for you, we refund it in full, including the lesson you already took. Just tell us within 48 hours. You can register here in minutes.
Are your tennis and pickleball coaches background checked?
We screen instructors before introducing them to clients. Our goal is to provide a trustworthy experience for adults, seniors, and families booking private lessons.
Do you serve my area or ZIP code?
We have vetted coaches across 40+ U.S. metro areas, and our network is growing. Register with your ZIP code and we will either match you with a nearby coach or tell you honestly when we expect coverage in your area.
What is your cancellation and rescheduling policy?
Please provide at least 12 hours notice to reschedule a lesson. Late cancellations may count as a used session to protect coach time. If weather becomes unsafe, we reschedule without penalty.
What happens if weather is bad?
Safety comes first. If heat, storms, unsafe air quality, or court conditions make training risky, the lesson is rescheduled. We would rather move a session than gamble with injuries.
Can kids take private lessons?
Yes. We can match families with coaches experienced in working with kids. Many parents choose private tennis lessons for children because the coach can adapt drills to attention span and confidence.
How do payments work?
Pricing depends on your package. You can review options on the pricing page. Every package is backed by our satisfaction guarantee on your first lesson, so there is no risk in getting started.
Can I switch coaches if it is not the right fit?
Yes. If your coach match is not ideal, we will work with you to find a better fit for your playing style, goals, and schedule.
Policies are designed to keep private lessons fair, safe, and consistent for both clients and coaches. The satisfaction guarantee applies to your first lesson only and must be requested within 48 hours of that lesson. For the fastest start, complete the registration form.
