What’s a Private Group?

Unlike an Open Drill, a Private Group is organized by you and your group and scheduled directly with a pro. This allows you to choose your group, schedule, and areas of focus.

Open drills instead?

Open Drills are scheduled, level-based sessions anyone at that level can register for.
