    Why combining group lessons with private training makes all the difference

    One lesson per week is good. But combining group lessons with private training is the difference between maintenance and real progress.

    At 359.tennis, we believe tennis is more than one hour per week on the court. Our philosophy — Progress. Not Perfection — means we help you grow optimally. And the fastest route to real improvement? Combining group lessons with private training. Explore our adults programme, our beginners programme or learn why tennis players may live longer.

    "Combining group lessons with private training is the smartest investment in your tennis development."

    Why one lesson per week isn't enough

    With one group lesson per week, you maintain your level, but real development requires more. Like learning a language: one hour per week keeps you going, but two or three sessions make the difference between 'I can manage' and 'I've mastered it'.

    • 1x per week = maintenance of your current level
    • 2x per week = noticeable development in technique and tactics
    • 3x per week = accelerated progress across all areas

    The best of both worlds: group + private lessons

    Group lessons and private training complement each other perfectly. In private lessons, you work on technique with your coach's full attention. In group lessons, you apply those skills in match situations and learn to handle different playing styles.

    • Private lesson: individual attention, targeted technique improvement, direct feedback
    • Group lesson: application in match play, social interaction, variety in opponents
    • Combination: theory (private) + practice (group) = accelerated growth
