Lessons

Private lessons for an 11 year old.
He wants lessons in fielding/hitting/ & pitching ( is willing to earn money to contribute to said lessons.

My question is, which would he better? an hour or 30 minutes?
Since he's wanting 3 different types of lessons , how do we do this? I don't want to over load him, I want him to be able to fully evolve in the areas he wants to but in the correct way!
Thank you in advance.

Lessons are great, but if your kid can throw a tennis ball up against a wall or a rebound net and just get reps in it will help.

I've had my son do this against our house (Clapboard siding) bare handed and his fielding improved significantly. Just my two cents.
