Local guidance pegs typical Greater Victoria pricing at roughly $60-70/hr for private lessons, $20-40/hr each for semi-private, and $12-18/hr for group lessons usually sold as a 4-8 lesson package.
The TossUp local guide recommends adult beginners start with slower orange-dot balls and notes group lessons give little individual feedback because of the high student-to-coach ratio.
The guide advises contacting clubs/coaches early and asking to join a waitlist if programs are full, implying adult group programs can fill up.
The local guide names Courtside Sports (1136 Hillside Ave) as Victoria's only dedicated racquet-sports shop and the go-to place for beginners to get properly outfitted with a racquet and gear.
Saanich Tennis Club explicitly does not offer beginner lessons (its adult groups start at a ~3.0 level), so true beginners must look to WilkinsonSport, Charlie Nicks, TossUp Training, or rec-centre programs instead.
For adults who want low-pressure play rather than formal coaching, Victoria Tennis Group offers free, no-dues social doubles, a singles ladder, and welcomes all levels, and TossUp Clubhouse runs free local meetups.
