GoalMate

How GoalMate Works

Booking a verified sports coach on GoalMate takes minutes. Here is the whole process, for customers and for coaches.

For customers

1. Choose your sport and location. Browse golf, tennis, football, personal training, yoga, pilates or cricket coaches in your area.
2. Compare coach profiles. Each profile shows qualifications, experience, pricing and real time availability.
3. Pick a session type. Single sessions, recurring packages, or group sessions, depending on what the coach offers.
4. Book and pay online. Card payments are processed securely through Stripe, so no bank transfers and no awkward direct messages.
5. Train with your coach. Sessions sync to your Google Calendar automatically.

For coaches

1. Sign up for free. No monthly fees and no upfront cost.
2. Complete the four step onboarding. Profile, Stripe Connect for payouts, availability, and optional calendar sync.
3. Get bookings. Customers find you through search, the location pages, and your own profile link.
4. Keep 100% of your session price. GoalMate takes no commission. A service fee paid by the customer funds the platform.
5. Get paid automatically. Stripe pays out directly to your bank account.

What it costs

• For coaches: free to join, zero commission on every booking type, and no subscription.
• For customers: the session price the coach sets, plus a service fee added at checkout. A flat £1 on sessions up to £25, and 4% above that.

Session types

• One to one individual sessions
• Multi week coaching packages with weekly recurrence
• Group sessions with several participants
• Custom services, such as a 30 minute putting lesson or a 60 minute strength session

What verified means

A coach cannot appear on GoalMate until we have checked their identity and reviewed their coaching qualifications, and until Stripe Connect onboarding is complete so payments are secure end to end.
