As a beginner, I aim to play about 3-4 times in a perfect week to build consistency and skill while avoiding burnout. I’d ideally play before work or school and on Saturday and Sunday mornings when I have more free time.

For the location, I’d choose a place accessible and beginner-friendly, like a local community center, park, or gym. These spaces are often welcoming to newcomers and might offer resources like beginner classes or practice groups. The key is balancing practice with enjoyment to keep the experience fun and motivating.
