Tailoring to your needs
Our private lessons typically involve one-on-one instruction or small groups of two to four players. Each session is tailored to your style, strengths, weaknesses, and goals. We coach at your pace, focusing extra time on areas where you need growth, skill development, and confidence. With personalized feedback and correction, our private lessons provide the individual attention needed for rapid improvement and long-term success on the court.
Developing Your Training Plan
Developing your training plan with us is a collaborative and straightforward process. We work closely with you to identify your goals for training, to observe your play style to look for strengths and opportunities, and to develop a series of steps to improve the various aspects of your game.
A Personalized Approach to Planning
John and Letha, Your Partners in Planning
The hallmark of our private training experience is the personal attention you receive from John, who will focus more on the goals, skills assessment, and game development aspects, and Letha, who will work with you to schedule your personalized training plan.
Getting Started
To secure your preferred dates, we recommend beginning the planning process 1 month or more in advance. The further out you plan, the greater the likelihood that your desired dates will be available. However, don’t let that recommended lead time prevent you from checking in the nearer term. We will try to schedule you in as soon as possible.

What people are saying…
-
“We’ve trained with John and Letha for four summers in Coeur d’Alene and our game has improved tremendously. Two coaches make lessons fun, effective, and a great workout. Their clinics help sharpen skills and connect players who love the game.
Highly recommend them!“
—Dale & Ann Ringer -
“After having participated in a few of the very expensive multiple day clinics with various pros I connected with John and Letha Rodrigues. I learned more in 90 minutes with them and the 5 Ps than all the multiple day clinics combined.”
