How do I book a coaching lesson?

The prices on a screen, the times you can play, and the coach picks one. On the Club plan.

Who coaches here

The Coaching screen lists everybody who coaches at your club, with a line about them and what they charge: an hour, a block of six, a group. If somebody has no prices up yet, ask anyway.

Asking for an hour

Say what you are after, then suggest up to six times you could play. It works like arranging a match. There is an optional line for what you want to work on.

Ask one coach, or all of them. Ask any coach goes to everybody who teaches here, and the first to answer takes it. Nobody’s phone number changes hands.

If nobody answers, the request is called off 5 days after the last day you suggested, and you are told. Once your times have passed, it says which day that will be. You can ask again with new times whenever you like.

Once it is agreed, the lesson has Add to calendar on it. See Your calendar.

Groups and blocks

A group

The day, the time and the places left are on the screen. Join takes one, Leave gives it back. It says Full when the last one goes.

A block of lessons

Six lessons for a set price, say. Pick it when you ask, and arrange the hours as you go.

Paying

We never touch this money. The app tells you how to hand it over: cash at the court, a bank transfer, a card on the coach’s own reader, or your club tab. You see it three times.

  1. Before you bookOn the screen you ask from.
  2. When it is agreedIn the message that says so.
  3. The morning beforeOn your reminder.

Nothing is ever taken through the app. There is no card form and no Direct Debit for a lesson.

Juniors

A child’s lesson is asked for and answered by whoever holds the household sign-in. A guardian asks, a guardian is told, and a coach never sees a child’s contact details.
