Adult Group Tennis Lessons (4+ Players)

A structured series is the best deal: PCC's 8-week Beginning Level 2 runs $135–$139 total (under $18 a session). Independent coaches charge $28.75 per person per hour in groups of four or more, and private lessons run $80/hr. Parks & Rec city sessions are priced at registration and generally the cheapest entry point.

Groups are cheaper and more social — good for getting consistent court time; private lessons cost more but give your technique undivided attention. Most players do a mix: a group series to build the habit, then occasional private lessons to fix specific strokes.

Bring a racquet (loaners are sometimes available — ask when booking), a water bottle, and court shoes or any non-marking athletic shoes. Balls are provided in every class listed here, and classes run rain-or-shine indoors at PCC and the Portland Tennis Center.

Yes, and it's one of the biggest groups in the city. PCC's Beginning Level 2 is explicitly built for adults returning after years away, and the parks beginner series starts from zero. You will not be the oldest, the newest, or the rustiest person on the court.

No. Parks & Rec sessions, PCC courses, and independent coaches all work without a membership or a USTA rating. Sunset Athletic Club is the one exception here, and it's a fitness-club membership rather than a tennis federation rating.
