This is EXACTLY what happened to me with Platform Tennis. I was a HS asst. tennis coach, and wanted to learn Platform Tennis. We took the lessons, then went to join a “beginner” group to practice. I was the only “beginner” there..was having trouble making contact (way different length of racquet). They rotate partners. Instead of helping, people got mad when we lost. I left in tears, and never played Platform tennis again. I really loved it..but knew there was no way I could learn under those circumstances.
I hope the OP finds some people to practice with!
