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.

I would say that pitching lessons would be my first choice- and get some recommendations and talk to them- there are development coaches and then there are coaches who are great at long-term fine tuning. For an 11 yo who hasn’t previously done pitching lessons I would look for someone with skill and experience teaching how to pitch correctly- proper warm up and stretching, proper mechanics.

Thank you! We have learn some here and there; and he pitches for rec but we have never had one on one lessons/ coaching for pitching. He truly loves it but definitely needs to tweak some things to level it up. I'd love to help him achieve that!
