Found a very good older player and we did it with a teammate friend. Each paid $25 a session a few years ago. Twice a week in the summer. Once a week other times. Worked around everyone schedules. Paid was good enough so she made it a priority over pretty much everything else. Girls got noticeably better rather quickly. 90 minute sessions with 2 kids. You can get a ton done and they had fun. You work on things in practice maybe 10 times. In one 90 minute session they could do a 100 reps and actually get decent.

That was many years ago and the girls still exchange birthday and holiday messages with their “instructor”.

Years ago is correct. No one charges anywhere close to this anymore.. not in Bethesda/ rockville which is where op mentioned.

The cheapest personal trainer I heard of is $50 per hour and this is college player making extra cash.

"2-3 hrs" doesn't sound factual for organized training session

Just like most things in this area, the majority gravitate to the name brand and the hype.
Not the true substance and results.

Many also want to skip the consistent disciplined hard work route that carries no fanfare, expecting a few sessions with a fancy expensive glitzy organization will take their kid to the top levels.

Important for players to work on their own. Constant direction not great in an artistic pursuit.
