PRIVATE LESSONS
Private lessons are an excellent opportunity to get specialized, one-on-one instruction with our highly trained staff. Private lessons include an initial assessment from the instructor to determine the player’s strengths and weaknesses, after which the instructor will create a personalized lesson plan to suit the player’s needs.

All STLCC private lessons involving a minor must be monitored by a responsible adult. To ensure this, in-person lessons must take place somewhere publicly accessible. For online lessons, a STLCC employee will join the virtual meeting space to verify the initial and ongoing presence of a responsible adult with the minor or will remain to monitor the lesson if unable to make such a confirmation. All lessons comply with the full STLCC Minor’s Policy available here.
