  1. Tap on the Coaches whistle icon at the bottom left of most screens.

  2. Scroll through instructors who specialize in the specific sport that you’ve selected in your Athlete Account.

    1. If you would like to search for a given instructor by their name, tap the Search Coaches text field centered near the top of the Coaches screen. Then, type in the instructor’s name that you’re looking for.

    2. If you would like to further filter the selection of professional instructors to your own personal preferences, tap the Filter icon within the Search Coaches text field at the farthest right on the Coaches screen. The filters screen allows you to filter your instructor results by the following:

      1. Location

      2. Distance from your location

      3. Price

      4. Country

      5. Instruction Type

      6. Lesson Type

      7. Coach Type

      8. Coach On-Demand Only

  3. Once you’ve set up any filters you’d like to apply to your coach search, tap the APPLY button at the bottom center of the screen.

  4. Tap on the instructor that you would like to learn more about.

  5. Look over the Coach’s full profile, which includes:

    1. The types of instruction they specialize in

    2. Their Lesson Offers

    3. Video clips or pictures of them competing or coaching

    4. Their Experience

    5. Their Education

    6. Their personal Coaching Philosophy

    7. And the Reviews and Ratings they’ve earned from previous clients.

      Note: Simply tap on a given video or section to learn more about the instructor before making an informed decision for yourself or your athlete.

  6. Tap the BOOK LESSON button.

  7. On the Lesson Offers screen, select the In-Person option.

  8. Tap the REQUEST LESSON button at the bottom center of your screen.

  9. Next, we’ll ask a series of quick questions and confirmations to help the coach understand your athlete and their lesson needs. These questions and confirmations also ensure that you and your chosen coach are a perfect fit. Follow the prompts and tap NEXT after answering each one.

  10. Confirm your contact and request details for your coach and tap REQUEST LESSON.

  11. You will receive live updates about the status of your lesson request under the Lessons clipboard icon within the Coachly app, and, depending on your personal settings, also via emails and push notifications on your device.

    Note: If your coach were to decline the request or not respond within 48 hours, you’d not be charged a dime, and you’d be free to send a new booking request to any other coach within our marketplace.

  12. If your Coach accepts your booking request, they will reach out to you directly via phone call, text message, or email to set up your first local in-person lesson together.
