Question 2

How long are the lessons?

Accepted Answer

Most private coaches schedule one-hour lessons. Coaches may schedule longer lessons for adults wanting to also work on body conditioning or specialized skills like goalkeeping. Discuss your long-term development goals with your coach to decide the best lesson length and frequency to help you reach your goals.

Question 3

Are private soccer lessons worth it?

Accepted Answer

Most players will agree that private soccer lessons are worth the price when you aren't seeing the progress you want in your game on your own. A private soccer coach can serve as a mentor, helping to improve your skills, confidence, and even your attitude. A good coach gets back to the basics to ensure you have a strong grasp of the fundamentals before moving on to more advanced skills. They also provide the motivation you need to practice, work hard, and improve.

On the other hand, a bad coach can actually cause harm your game. A coach that yells or belittles you during a lesson you are paying for can cause frustration, lack of motivation, and even lead you to hate the game. Be sure to find a positive and experienced coach that helps you reach your soccer goals.
