hey, we are paying $150 for six weeks at pinnacle :'( (Thats for group hitting lessons) Individuals can be $30 to $70 , it depends where you go. Pitching lessons range from $25 to $50, again it depends who you get. I even heard of one guy who gives pitching lessons for free, just because he loves it so much

advance or building the perfect swing or is that the combo you are right about the private

One on one is 35-50 per hour.

Groups up to eight around 20 to 25 per hour. i.e. 6 weeks for an hour = $120 to $150

Any more than eight at that price stay home and work with DD in basement.

I ve seen many $60 per hour and up with "less qualified" instructors and $25 an hour for reputable instructors

Most important is getting the right instructor, 2 hours at $30 with a lesser instructor vs $60 with good instructor??????

You make the call

I wonder how any instructor can work with 8 players at once. I am not saying it cant be done but is the player getting the attention she may need.

From our past experience on "group" lessons:

Getting the most from a learning experience as involved as pitching or hitting requires intensive one-on-one training on an ongoing basis. IMO, there is no way a student is going to get maximum benefit from a "gang" one hour lesson with each kid vying for attention. As an evaluation, that scenario may be fine, but giving quality instruction is impossible. An instructor must give 100% attention to the student for the entire lesson - otherwise the student (and her parents) get short-changed. Getting a $5 discount for a 15 minute lesson was not perceived as a bargain to me. I would rather pay the full amount and get 100% attention for the full 1/2 hour. If I was looking to cut corners with "bargain" pitching/hitting lessons, I'd go to Wal-Mart.

We almost always opted for the one-on-one lesson, but the next best set-up we experienced was with 3 students in rotation using three pitching lanes side-by-side. It worked this way: A student would spend roughly 20-30 minutes warming up in lane one. Then the instructor would take that student and work with her in lane two for 1/2 hour. Then the student would move to the third lane and work on what she had just learned for 1/2 hour. The student only paid for 1/2 hour of instruction, because that's what they were getting - BUT they got to throw for an hour and a half, including time for a full warm-up.

Thanks for the information.

Definately one on one lessons are more beneficial. The cost for my pitching or hitting or both is $30 and the same coach does my pitching and hitting.

I pay $50 for my DD's pitching lessons. This is one on one for one hour. It is quite a bit to pay but it is worth it. In my opinion, there is no subsitute for one on one lessons.......especially with this pitching coach.
