I'm sure this has come up before, but I am fairly new. Someone please assure me that my DD is not missing out because I am not paying for her to have private lessons. She is 5, on preteam and does two 3 hour practices a week with great coaches. There are 6 kids in her group right now, though there can be as many as 8. One of the kids (that I know of) is getting private lesson. The only reason I know this is because her mother made a point of telling me how much they want her kid on the team and they were willing to work around the fact that the girl can only come one day a week. Yada yada. And they suggested private lessons for her, and she can come to the next preteam level one day a week. Yada yada. I don't solicit this stuff. The kid is quite good. Anyhoo, don't know if anyone else is set up for privates, but moveups are coming soon, and DD will likely move to 9 hours a week for the summer, though there are no guarantees. It would be a disappointment to her to remain at the level she is at, though most of them are 6. They have all been together since last summer. Assure me that I am not hurting her chances by just taking her to regular practice. She has great attendance. I'm trying to figure when the coach would even have time for privates unless you took the kid out of school during the day. The coaches are very busy after school and all day Sat with team practices and rec classes. Help my insecurity. Assure me. She will be fine without privates, right??
