What does the typical pitching lesson cost?

We got hooked up with a Div3 college player who was graduating and she did lessons for $20 for a half hour. She was booked up for most Saturdays and several nights per week too.

Last winter I tried to get DD some pitching with a specific PC, not a name, and was told she was booked for the year. PC might not being charging enough. If you find one you like stay with them.


I still would like to pay Ken for the $1000 lesson and be done with it.

$35-$40 for 45min. lesson w/ 15min. warm-up prior.

Lothar, I would agree that is about right for a "reputable" PC. Just keep in mind sometimes "reputable" doesn't always equal effective. My DDs first PC was $40 per hour. They had up to 5 girls at one time and there was usually one or two other people as assistants.

DDs new PC is $80 for one hour private, $40 for 1/2 hour private, or $100 for two pitchers for one hour. We do the two pitchers time, so that's $50 for an hour that I have to pay. First lesson is introductory 1/2 hour and is free to see if you think it is a good fit.

I would also ask what do they do in that time....sometimes the time you pay for includes just warming up. With our new PC we warm up in another area so when our time starts we get down to business with no wasted time. Best of luck to you.

What do you think an instructor clears, if the facility is charging $50.00 per 1/2 hour? She may be making the same thing, that she could make on her own.

I was fortunate to take my 10yo dd to our high school pitcher for $15/hour, but after a few lessons with lots of repetitive arm circles with weighted balls and hello elbow, I thought I better just work myself with her.

I pay $40 for a half hour.

I know that our situation is not the norm, even in our area.

DD has been seeing the same PC for 6 years and he has always charged $40 for a 1 1/2 hour lesson. When she first started, the lesson was all around softball; overhand throwing, fielding, hitting and pitching. As she developed as a pitcher more and more of the time was spent on pitching and the mental game in the circle.

For the last year, DD has offered beginner lessons for $10 an hour. She talks to her PC about the students and refers them to him once they are ready for more advanced lessons.

35 an hour where I live. At a point where someone else teaches my dd. I also did lessons for a cut rate or sometimes free. The odd thing was the free ones were my complainers. Two of them even showed me their new $300 dollar bats before work out. Had to remind myself of many things at that point.

Where my dd goes now, it is $25/hour - 1:1 - we lucked out! Others around here typically charge around $50/hour for 2:1.
