How to Book a Trial Session on CoachSpot

30 April 2026

CoachSpot is completely free for parents and athletes: search, view profiles and message coaches at no cost. Payment for the coaching itself is arranged directly between you and the coach.

Step 1 — Search

Filter Find Coaches by sport, postcode, age group and speciality. Every profile you see has been verified — DBS, safeguarding, qualifications and insurance are all checked. No account needed to search.

Step 2 — Enquiry

Create a free parent or athlete account (no card, no fees) and send a short enquiry with your child's age, level and what you're looking to work on. Coaches accept or decline within a couple of days. When a coach accepts, you unlock chat.

Step 3 — Chat and agree the trial

Sort venue, time, and price with the coach directly on-platform. For safeguarding, keep first-contact messages inside CoachSpot — the coach's public profile also lists their Instagram, website and WhatsApp so you can continue directly after the trial.

Step 4 — Trial session

Pay the coach directly for the session, at the rate you've agreed with them. CoachSpot doesn't take a cut. If they weren't the right fit, no obligation to book again.
