Would you feel weird about this?

I agree... private lessons for a group rate. They'll have fun playing with each other!

Once, DD was the only one who showed up for a swim lesson. So she got a private lesson AND she was worn out from not getting any breaks.

It seems a little weird, but I would stick with it as long as your kids are enjoying it. It's probably good experience for the teens and college students. And if whoever runs the program felt like it was a waste of resources, I would guess they would cancel it?

[drloretta]

Heck no, I wouldn't feel weird. DD is in a tumbling class right now, and was the only kid for the first half of her first session. She loved it, and so did I. Then the second session came along and there are 6 kids--boo.

As long as your kids enjoy it, I would stick with it. Maybe they will adjust the number of teachers based on the size of the class? Otherwise your sons are getting private lessons for a good price.

P.S. Tennis is such a great lifetime sport! (I started lessons in 1st grade and went on to be the captain of my HS team)

I don't see why it would be weird. However, of they weren't that interested in tennis, I would find something else.

They know who signed up in advance though - they could have cancelled the whole thing due to low enrollment.

Since that didn't happen, enjoy it.

I'd feel a bit odd but I'd stick with it. They are getting private lessons at a group rate.

I've seen a lot of group activities state there needs to be a minimum of X number particpants for the class to go on. They are ok with just having two signed up, so I wouldn't feel weird at all, just lucky!

This happened with C's swim lessons. We happily took what essentially became private lessons.

If my kids were into it, absolutely. If they felt weird about it then no. I would let them decide.

[water*drop]

I'd stick with it. They might adjust the number of teachers or end up canceling it due to low enrollment, but if they were willing to keep the class going, I'd be happy to have my kids get private lessons at the group rate!

[curbsideprophet]

I would stick with it.

This is what my H said. I feel bad though, like I should offer, lol. Hopefully the director won't make all the older kids come next week. They're just standing around with nothing to do.

But if you quit - all those kids lose their job.

I would stick with it. B is going through a jealous phase anyway so the more 1-1 time he gets the happier he is.

[ilikedonuts]

I get so excited when we end up with private lessons for a group rate!

This happened with swim lessons for months. It was awesome.

[undecidedowl]

I'd stick with it if the kids like it. I've played tennis since I was little and this happened semi frequently, even with pros teaching.

[niq]

If it were one or two teachers I'd feel fine. I think give teachers I'd feel a little weird. But I'd sick with it if the kids are enjoying it.

[auntie]

I wouldn't feel weird at all.

We had this happen with community swim once- we only signed up because DS needed to do it to demonstrate some skills toward his BSA rank adavncement, so he was older than most kids there. He and another older kid formed one group; and the other kid was routinely 15 minutes late. Worked for us. DS enjoyed the one:one attention of the instructor.

I'd feel a little weird, but still take advantage. This happened with DD2's gymnastics class last year.
