WHY ARE TENNIS LESSONS SO EXPENSIVE

 

To answer the question of why tennis lessons are expensive, we have to visualize a tennis court
with a coach and a player.
Now, visualize basketball and small football fields next to it. The sizes are similar, right?

On both other courts, you have 10 players who are sharing the rent fee while the tennis player/student
has alone to pay the court plus the lesson.
If it is one on one lesson, only one person pays all and also it is often the case that a lesson is not
only one but 1,5 or 2 hours.
If we count that a lesson costs a few times the court fee – you can get the picture.

Mathematically, a tennis player when taking a lesson is paying a minimum of twenty times more than some basketball
or football, handball, volleyball player.

Over 600 m2 is just for one person. Of course, it is expensive when you add a fee for your really good and expensive coach.

This is the reason why paddle and beach tennis, as similar sports to tennis, rapidly grow
in their popularity.

I tried both with some tennis friends of mine and sadly we have realized that we had to stick with a bigger playground and a much more expensive sport option.
