Features

Everything you need to book a coach, in one app.

Find coaches near you, book an open hour, or post what you want and let coaches come to you. Every booking is approved by the coach, and you only pay once they say yes.

How it works

Post what you want, or take a seat.

No hour that fits? Post a request and let coaches nearby come to you. Rather play with others? Join a group session that still has room. Either way, you only pay once the coach says yes.

Your phone
  • Or just browse and book

    Search coaches near you, or every open hour this week, and book one directly.

  • Pay only after a yes

    Nothing is charged until the coach approves. Cancel free until you pay.

  • Coaches you can check

    Verified badges, and ratings only from students who finished a session.

The problem

Real coaching changes your game. Finding it shouldn’t be a gamble.

Players plateau without someone who can see their game. Good coaches get lost among anyone who posts a rate in a group chat. Both sides lose the sessions that should be happening.

You can’t fix what you can’t see.

  • The same habits, every session

    Your grip, your footwork, the shot you quietly avoid. Practising alone just makes them stick.

  • Anyone can call themselves a coach

    A post and a rate is all you get. No reviews from real students, no way to tell who’s legit.

  • So your game stalls

    More hours on court, and the same game you had last year.

Your skill doesn’t show in a post.

  • Lost in the feed

    Your post sits beside anyone who calls themselves a coach, and the algorithm decides who sees it.

  • Your track record stays invisible

    Years of students and sessions, and nothing a new player can check before they message you.

  • Pushed to compete on price

    When every listing looks the same, players pick the cheapest rate, not the best coach.

The fix

Coaching you can trust, easy to find.

See how it works
  • Verified coaches

    Coaches who pass our checks carry a badge students see before they book.

  • Ratings from real sessions

    Only students who completed a session can rate, so good coaching finally shows.

  • Coaching at your level

    Beginner, intermediate or advanced: say where your game is, and coaches see it before your first session.

For students

Built for players who want to keep getting better.

Teenagers to adults, first lesson to tournament prep. Book the hour, the coach and the group that fit where your game is now.

Sessions

Free tonight? Book tonight.

Switch to Sessions and see every bookable hour near you for the next seven days.

Nearest court, real distance

Coaches are ranked by the closest court they teach at, with the distance on every card and one tap to open the court in Maps.

Join a group

Take a seat in a session someone else started, while there’s still room.

Bring your friends

Add them to your booking and the coach’s group rate applies. Most coaches charge less each for a bigger group.

Saved coaches

Your Tuesday coach is two taps from opening the app.

Chat before you commit

Tell a coach your level and goals before you book, so your first session goes to the work, not the introductions.

Serious about who is on the court with you.

Verified coaches

We check a coach’s government ID and a photo of them holding it. Verified says who they are; ratings say how good they are.

PHPA Certified

Pickleball coaches can add their Philippine Pickleball Academy certificate. The badge only appears once PHPA confirms it.

Credibility that’s earned

Each coach’s score comes from what they’ve done on ConnectCoach: ratings from students who played, sessions run, students who came back, and how rarely they cancel.

Every request is approved

A coach accepts or declines each booking. Nobody lands on a schedule without a say.

Pay only after a yes

Nothing is charged when you send a request. You pay once the coach approves, and cancelling is free until then.

Private reporting

Students can report a coach and coaches can report a student. It reaches our team, never the person it is about, and our team can suspend an account.

For coaches

Your schedule, your rates, your court.

Get found by students near the courts you teach at, take bookings without the DMs, and keep 94% of every session.

Needs you

Requests come to you.

Bookings for your open hours, plus Find me a coach requests from students nearby whose budget fits your rates. Accept one, and the student chooses from the coaches who did.

Keep 94% of every session.

The platform fee comes out of each booked session, so we only do well when you’re getting booked.

Nothing booked without your yes.

Approve from the session card, and only then can students pay. The card tells you once they have.

You set the rates.

Per sport, as a ladder by group size, so bigger groups pay less each. Students see your range on Discover and the exact price when they book.

Every session builds your name.

Verified and PHPA Certified badges, and a credibility score that grows with every session you run and every student who rates you, from New to Established to Proven.

Availability that bends.

Weekly hours, a day off or just a few hours closed on any date, and group blocks with seat caps.

Pickleball in the Philippines

From Metro Manila to Mindanao, everyone’s picking up a paddle.

Clubs, malls and neighbourhood courts keep adding pickleball, and players are signing up faster than coaches can answer their DMs. ConnectCoach isn’t limited to a few cities: wherever coaches sign up and get verified, players nearby can find and book them.
