Train together, learn faster and make each other better every week.
Duo private lessons combine personal feedback with the energy of training together — ideal for friends, partners or two players with a shared goal.
359.tennis offers duo private lessons of 30 minutes for children up to age 8 at NTC Amstelveen, near Amsterdam. Specially designed for young children's attention span, with personalised coaching and a playful approach.
Why 30 minutes?
We recommend children up to age 8 take half-hour private lessons. In terms of attention and intensity, one hour is too long for young children — that's our experience.
Book Duo Private Lessons: your child receives 30 minutes of individual attention from the coach. This is more effective and enjoyable for young tennis players.
Note: Duo Private Lesson ≠ lesson with two children
The name "Duo Private Lesson" refers to the duration (30 min) and format, not the number of children. Your child receives a full private lesson of 30 minutes with just the coach.
Why Duo Private Lessons for young children?
30 minutes – the ideal duration
We recommend children up to age 8 take half-hour private lessons. In terms of attention and intensity, one hour is too long for young children — that's our experience.
Individual attention
Your child receives 30 minutes of full attention from an experienced coach. Personal guidance ensures faster progress.
More fun and effective
Short, intensive sessions are more enjoyable for young children. They stay focused and motivated throughout the lesson.
Rapid progress
Through personal attention and tailored exercises, your child progresses faster than in a larger group.
Safe learning environment
Our coaches create a safe, supportive environment where your child can learn with confidence.
Tailored to your child
The coach adapts each exercise to your child's level, learning style, and goals.
What makes Duo Private Lessons special?
Our recommendation per age group
Young children have a limited attention span. Half an hour is intensive enough to make progress, but short enough to stay fun.
For this age group, we also recommend half an hour. The intensity of private lessons is high — one hour is too long for most children.
From age 9, children can often handle a longer lesson. Discuss with the coach what works best for your child.
Indoor and outdoor available
