How CoachSpot Works

A simple, transparent way to find and book verified 1-2-1 sports coaching — free for parents and athletes.

For Parents & Athletes

Find a coach — completely free

1
Search coaches near you
Filter by sport, discipline, age group, postcode and radius. No account needed to search or view profiles.
2
Create a free account to message
A free parent or athlete account is all you need to send an enquiry — no card, no fees, ever.
3
Send an enquiry
Message a coach directly — not open chat. Tell them a bit about the athlete's age, level and goals.
4
Coach accepts or declines
You'll hear back through the platform. If they're not the right fit, try another coach — no cost either way.
5
Arrange your first trial
Once accepted, agree venue, time and price with your coach directly in chat. Payment for the session is between you and the coach.
6
Continue directly with your coach
After the first trial, all future sessions, scheduling and payments are between you and your coach.
