My 2009 son wants to try some privates over the winter break. Located in Oceanside. Any idea what an hour cost or even a half an hour session.
isn't it a bit early for privates for 09s? I think kids this age would have more fun doing camps.

Privates are fine but does the kid really have something specific to work on? That’s the point of privates in my mind.
Just getting your kids privates without a specific plan or goal, beyond “getting better” is probably a waste.
Most kids can go out and spent a lot of time on their own on a ball and improve.
A few people on the board have taken our kids to Burgi Hoffman. Great coach. Think the OP might be looking for local to Oceanside - unless they have extra time to travel
Still at Capo. Yeah depends on time. A few in kids old group came from as far north oc as u can get - but had moms that could make it work.If he’s still at capo, it’s not that far From Oceanside. It’s not close for sure.
We use privates to work on the things you just can’t do enough of in practice. Technical touches (dribbling and receiving) and finishing. It also gives them a short (30-45 minutes) fun workout on an off day. Definitely not all year but it is good to sprinkle in some for a few months then back off. I have seen $50-100/hour for quality privates.
Individual - $50-$60
2 ppl - $25-$30
3/4 ppl - $20 - $25 (don't recommend)
Have a clear plan for what you would like the trainer to be working on. Challenge the player with the things that get them uncomfortable and that they typically don't work on during their regular practices.
They haven't been "bad" experiences. I have noticed that the girls have been able to get much more out of the sessions when in smaller groups. They seem to be more focused and gives them more touches. I would agree that "speed/strength/conditioning/agility" training is a much different experience.you must have bad experiences with small groups. best training my kid has had is in small groups. really depends on who is training them. especially if they are being trained for speed, sometimes good thing to have a 4-6 kid gap rest between certain drills.
