Before you book

Coaching questions, answered.

How booking a coach works, what a lesson costs, and exactly what happens to your money along the way.

How do I find a sports coach near me?

Choose your activity, then enter your city or postcode (or tap "use my location") in the search at the top of this page. You will see verified local coaches ranked by rating, distance and availability, each showing their lesson price and the next slot they have open. Pick a time that suits you and book it — most bookings take under a minute.

How much do private 1-to-1 coaching lessons cost?

Coaches set their own rates, so prices vary by sport, experience and location — every coach card shows a "from" price per lesson before you click. Many coaches also sell session packs, which lower the price per lesson when you book several at once, and new coaches often offer a free intro session so you can try before you commit.

Is my payment protected when I book a coach?

Yes. Payment is taken when you book and held in escrow — the coach is not paid until your session has actually taken place. If a coach cancels a confirmed booking you are refunded in full, including the service fee. Card details are handled by Stripe; CoachDiscover never stores them.

How CoachDiscover works

CoachDiscover is a booking and payments marketplace connecting athletes with independent sports coaches. Coaching is delivered by the coach, not by CoachDiscover; payments are held in escrow and released once your session is complete.

Are the coaches verified and qualified?

Every coach profile is reviewed by our team before it can be found or booked, and coaches who submit identity and qualification documents for approval carry a verified badge plus their approved credentials on their card and profile. Reviews and star ratings come only from athletes who completed a paid session, so the ratings you read are from real lessons.

Can I try a coach before paying for a full lesson?

Often, yes. Coaches can offer free intro sessions, and those coaches show a "Free intro" badge with a "book your first lesson free" option on their card. Free intro slots are limited in number each month, so they go quickly — if one is showing, it is bookable right now.

What happens if I need to cancel a session?

Cancel 48 hours or more before the session and the coach's session fee is refunded in full; under 48 hours it is non-refundable, because the coach has held that slot for you. The platform service fee is not refunded on athlete-initiated cancellations. If the coach cancels, you get everything back including the service fee.

Which sports and disciplines can I book coaching for?

You can book 1-to-1 and small-group coaching in Football, Rugby, Basketball, Hockey, Cricket, Tennis, Badminton and Squash, among others — from complete-beginner sessions through to elite-level technical work. Filter by discipline in the search above to see who is coaching your sport near you.

How do I become a coach on CoachDiscover?

Create a coach account, complete your profile (sports, rates, availability, qualifications) and submit it for review. Once approved you appear in search, set your own schedule and rates, and get paid automatically after each completed session — we handle bookings, payments and payouts.
