One-on-One Tennis Coaching for Every Player
Whether it’s your child’s first racquet or your own return to the court, a private lesson at Mutch Park starts with what you want to improve and builds from there.
Private Tennis Lessons for Kids
For children who want more one-on-one focus than a group Hot Shots class allows. Lessons are structured around your child’s current Hot Shots stage and goals, whether they’re building confidence, getting ready for the Hot Shots Tournament, or working toward squad lessons.
Private Tennis Lessons for Adults
Picking up a racquet for the first time, coming back after years away, or sharpening your game before the Monday Night Singles Competition? Your coach tailors every session to your goals. Unlike the Thursday evening Adult Tennis Clinic, which runs as a 90-minute small-group session, private lessons are arranged around your preferred days and times.

Tennis Coaching at Your Level, From First Hit to Match Play
There’s no entry test. Tell your coach where your game is today, and each lesson picks up from there.
Beginners
Your coach covers the building blocks: holding the racquet, moving to the ball, making clean contact and getting a serve over the net. Progress comes in small, clear steps so tennis feels achievable from lesson one.
Intermediate Players
Once you can keep a rally going, lessons shift to the details that win points: steadier groundstrokes, sharper footwork, smarter shot choices and better positioning in singles and doubles.
Advanced & Competitive
Preparing for competition, or fixing a specific technical or tactical weakness? You get your coach’s full attention for the whole session, ideal preparation for the UTR-graded Monday Night Singles Competition.
What One-on-One Tennis Coaching Gives You
In a group, the coach’s attention is shared. In a private lesson, it’s all yours. Here’s what that changes.
Every Ball Is Yours
No waiting in a drill line. You hit, your coach adjusts, you hit again, so you get far more repetitions in the same amount of time.
Fixes for Your Real Problems
Your coach works on what’s actually holding your game back, whether that’s a grip, a footwork habit or the shot you always avoid.
A Plan With a Purpose
Set a goal, from a first full rally to a competition result, and your lessons build toward it one session at a time.
Three Lesson Lengths
Choose 30, 45 or 60 minutes, so you can book a short, focused session or a full hour on court.
Times That Suit You
Request your preferred days and a morning, lunchtime or evening slot instead of fitting into a fixed class time.
Fitness Built In
More hitting and more movement means a solid workout happens alongside the technique work.
