Group lessons versus private coaching
Group lessons cost less per session than private coaching because the cost of court time and coach time is shared across several players. The trade-off is individual attention: in a well-run group of up to 6 or 8 players, each player still receives meaningful feedback, but a private lesson gives you undivided coach attention for the full session. For players working on a specific technical weakness or preparing for a competition, private lessons often produce faster results. For players who benefit from the social element and the variety of playing against different opponents, group lessons are frequently the better choice — and the better value over a full block.
What a junior block includes
A junior programme block runs three sessions per week and includes on-court coaching in groups of up to 6, integrated fitness and footwork sessions, match-play and point-construction drills, access to internal round-robin tournaments and a monthly written progress report for parents. The price varies by age group — Foundations, Development and Performance — reflecting the increasing complexity of the coaching and the competitive preparation involved at higher levels. Booking a full block rather than individual sessions is significantly more cost-effective and ensures a place in the group for the full development cycle.
The value of stroke analysis
A digital stroke analysis session is a one-time investment that can inform months of subsequent training. The annotated video report identifies prioritised correction points and includes personalised drill recommendations — meaning every session after the analysis has a clearer focus. Players who combine a stroke analysis with a coaching programme often find that their coach can work more efficiently because the technical priorities are already documented. The full-game analysis with a follow-up lesson is the most comprehensive option and the one most coaches recommend for players who have not had a formal technical review before.
Packages versus individual bookings
Combining coaching, stroke analysis and conditioning into a package costs less than booking each service individually. The Rally Starter package is designed for new and returning players who want structured improvement without committing to the full pathway. The Rally Core package adds full-game stroke analysis, a follow-up lesson and a conditioning block — a complete development plan for committed players. The Rally Elite package adds private lessons and priority scheduling for serious competitors. All package prices are per player, pre-tax, and the saving compared to individual bookings increases at each level.
Holiday camps: cost per day
Holiday camps run as 5-day weeks, with the full camp day running from 9:00 to 15:30. The per-day cost across a camp week is competitive with other structured holiday activities in the region, and the combination of technical coaching, games-based learning and supervised activity makes camps a practical choice for families during school breaks. Supervised early drop-off and late pickup are available for an additional fee, which adds flexibility for working parents.
- Compare player-to-coach ratios, not just headline prices
- Consider a full block rather than individual sessions for better value
- Factor stroke analysis into your development budget — it informs all subsequent coaching
- Look at packages if you plan to combine coaching with conditioning
- Ask about early registration for holiday camps as spaces fill quickly
- Clarify what is included in the price before committing to a programme
The best-value choice depends on how often you plan to train and what your development goals are. A package that combines coaching, analysis and conditioning almost always delivers more per dollar than booking each service individually.
