The Fastest Way for Juniors to Build Real Technique
Private tennis lessons give your child 100% of a certified coach's focus. No waiting, no adjusting to the group — every drill, every correction is directed at them.
Built Around Your Child
Every session is planned around your child's age, level, learning style, and goals — not a shared curriculum designed for a group.
Full Coach Attention
100% of the session focused on one player. Bad habits get corrected immediately instead of being reinforced through repetition in a group.
Faster Improvement
Focused private training gives junior players more time to correct foundations early, refine technique, and accelerate development.
Lesson Formats
Choose Your Child's Format
1-on-1 or bring a friend. Both formats give your child dedicated coach time and a session tailored to their level.
Format 01
1-on-1 Private
The full session is your child's. Maximum repetitions, maximum feedback, maximum improvement per session. Best for players with specific technical goals, those returning after a break, or tournament-focused juniors who need focused preparation.
Format 02
Semi-Private (2:1)
Two junior players share one coach. Great for siblings, school friends, or players at similar levels who learn well together. The coach works both players through drills and alternates feedback throughout the session. Lower cost per player.

Reviews for Our TennisCoaches
Real feedback from Glendale and Burbank families.
★★★★★5.0 / 5verified Google reviews★★★★★
"Mher and Oleg do a great job working with my daughter. She's improved more in 3 months at 3015 than in a full year of park tennis lessons. The structured curriculum is exactly what she needed."
— Monika G.
Glendale
★★★★★
"Professional, structured, and the coaches actually care about each kid's progress. The free trial sold us — we signed up the same day. Best tennis academy in Glendale."
— Vick T.
Burbank
★★★★★
"This is the real deal. My son went from never holding a racket to placing in his first tournament inside 6 months. We drive in from La Crescenta every week — worth it."
— Alex G.

Parent Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What age can kids start private tennis lessons?
We work with junior players starting at age three. Our Red Ball program uses smaller courts, lighter balls, and age-appropriate drills so young children build confidence and coordination from the very first session — not frustration.
How much do junior private tennis lessons cost in Glendale?
Private lessons are currently $90 per hour for beginners, $110 for intermediate players, $130 for advanced players, and $150 for tournament players. Current rates are also shown in the Rates section above.
How often should my child take private lessons?
Most junior players benefit from 1–2 private sessions per week, ideally combined with group classes for match practice. Your coach will recommend a frequency based on your child's goals, current level, and how quickly they want to progress.
Can my child do private lessons and group classes at the same time?
Yes — we recommend it for most junior players. Private lessons develop individual technique in a focused environment. Group classes build match instincts, competitive habits, and social play. They complement each other perfectly.
Does my child need to bring their own racket and equipment?
Loaner rackets are available so your child doesn't need equipment for the first session. We can recommend the right size racket for their age once they start training regularly.
Do you offer junior private tennis lessons near Burbank and Pasadena?
Yes. Junior players from Burbank, Pasadena, La Crescenta, and surrounding communities train at our Glendale courts at School St, Glendale, CA 91202 — a central, easy-to-reach location for the whole region.
