Booking a coach
Booking a coach on OpenCourt: find a verified coach, pick the players, length and court, pick a free hour, pay, and see your lesson on My bookings.
1. Find a coach
- Open Coaches from the top menu, or from More on your phone.
- Filter by sport, city and the level you play, or search for a coach or a court.
- Each card shows the coach's badges, rating, sports, cities and their price per player for an hour. OpenCourt's own coaches come first.
Find a coach by sport, city or level. 2. Read the coach's page
- A coach's page shows what they teach, the levels they coach, where and when they teach, and their reviews.
- Verified means OpenCourt checked who they are. A new coach shows New coach until their first review.
- Tap the heart to keep them in your favorites, or Share to send their page.
Each coach's page shows what they teach and their prices. 3. Players, length and court
- On Book a lesson, pick how many players: 1 to 4. The price is per player, per hour, and the coach sets it for each group size.
- Pick how long the lesson runs. Some coaches teach at least 2 hours.
- Pick the court. A coach's court on OpenCourt is booked with the lesson, in the same payment. You can also pick My own court and bring your own. Then reserve the court yourself before you pay: the booking covers the coach only.
Pick the players, the length and the court. 4. Pick a time
- The week shows the coach's free hours with their rate. With a court on OpenCourt, it shows hours when both the coach and the court are free.
- Hours the coach is booked read Booked. With a court, hours that court is taken read Court booked, Court closed or Court not available. Days the coach doesn't teach read Not teaching.
- Tap a free hour. Use the arrows to see another week. On a phone, tap Next on the bar at the bottom to go on to your lesson.
Tap a free hour on the week. 5. Check your lesson and book

- If the coach cancels, you get the lesson price back, and the court stays yours. The service fee and the processing fee aren't refunded.
- A coach can also move a lesson to another time. You get a bell and an email when they do.
Your lessons are under My bookings, on the Lessons tab. 8. Rate your lesson
- Once the lesson is over, tap Rate your lesson on it: give it stars and a few words.
