If you’re charging $100 an hour ($50 a half hour) for lessons and working 5 PM to 10 PM every night of the week for 50 weeks a year… you’ll gross $175,00.

How many private coaches book that much business? Almost none.

Private lessons are a nice side hustle or secondary household income for most - and far from easy work. Plus, no benefits.

Far from being money grabbers, most coaches and even org owners are doing this work out of a love for the game and the kids. For the amount of work they put in and headaches they have to deal with, God bless any of ‘em that can put together meaningful income streams.
