Tennis lessons in the winter months? What am I to do?

[Deleted member 56360]

Howdy y'all and thanks for stopping by to read my question.

I'm a 14 year old junior tennis player who takes private lessons 2 days a week. I plan on playing tournaments and climbing the rankings. I also go to 2 other cheap clinics around my area for some tune up practice against some weaker kids and play 3+ hours a day against the adults at my local tennis court.

Fall is approaching and my coach agreed keep giving me lessons on the outside courts until the end of fall. The problem is that no indoor facilities allow coaches to come there and give lessons on the courts and make money on them, of course. The indoor court is like 50 dollars an hour. Add that to my 60 dollar and hour coaching and I end up paying 220 dollars a week for 2 hours of coaching.

During the winter months, should I just go without a coach, take group lessons? Join a league? Or what? Anyone got suggestions? Thanks in advance.

You could always move to Oklahoma.

Group lessons sound like a good idea.

Take up ice skating and work on your leg strength/flexibility..

Build a small hitting wall in your basement or garage. I'm not kidding---some of my friends have. Monica Seles said her greatest hitting partner was the wall.
Once it's there, it's free.

50 bucks for an hour of indoor court time? Wow, that's cheap! Around here the cheapest I've ever seen is 75 an hour! Lucky you.
