Private lessons, for some children, are a better way to deliver skills training. The 1-1 or 1-2 ratio allows the instructor to do two things that are limited in larger sessions: the trainer can stop a session for the purposes of deconstructing a particular move, skill or trick. Because there is only one athlete (or possibly two) to guide, the trainer can still keep that athlete’s heart rate up. Usually instruction and heart rate trade off in larger groups because the instructor has to consider group dynamics.

A third component of private training is to take into account certain tactical problems that a player might have that normally would be difficult to take into account in a group setting. For example, a kid who is not aggressive or a kid who is not proactive and leaves big plays to be made by others can be addressed. Not everyone is suitable for private training. Some athletes find the pressure to be something they are trying to escape with their training at Avila rather than embrace. As such, there is an interview process for entering private training to ensure that this type of training is something your child is looking for and will enjoy.
