How does PlayUp work?

PlayUp helps athletes and parents search for sports coaches, explore profiles, discuss their goals and book sessions. Coaches use PlayUp to showcase their services and manage availability, bookings and messages. Players can also discover clubs, camps and sports facilities.

For athletes & parents

How do I find and book a sports coach?

Start with your sport and location, then find a coach whose experience and services suit your goals.

  1. Search your sport

    Choose a sport and enter your location. Refine the results using the available filters, including distance, session rate and age group.

  2. Explore coach profiles

    Read about each coach’s qualifications, experience, venues and session prices. Where reviews are available, see what their clients say.

  3. Discuss and book

    Message your coach about your goals or questions. Use Check Availability to explore session options and follow the booking steps shown.

  4. Get ready to train

    Check your booking details, including the time and venue. Agree any equipment or preparation with your coach before attending.

Booking for a child? Tell the coach the player’s age, experience and goals so you can discuss whether the session is suitable.
