We Started With a Simple Question: Why Does Private Coaching Have to Be So Expensive?

Youth sports costs are skyrocketing. Families are being priced out. Kids are quitting. But in every school in America, there are student athletes with the skills to coach — and they need good-paying flexible work. We connect them.

The Gap We're Closing

The income gap in youth sports participation has widened to 20.2 percentage points. Children from the lowest-income families play sports at half the rate of the wealthiest. Private coaching — the single best way to develop skills — is the most out-of-reach.

In every school in America, there are student athletes with the skills to coach and the energy kids respond to. We just connect them.

Two Problems. One Platform.

For Families

  • Private coaching at $25-45/hr instead of $75-150/hr
  • Relatable teen role models kids actually look up to
  • Flexible scheduling around your family's life
  • Background checked, school verified, parent reviewed
  • Try new sports or prepare for tryouts — affordably

For Student Athletes

  • Earn $25-45/hr — 2-3x more than minimum wage jobs
  • Flexible around school, practice, and games
  • Build leadership skills that shine on college apps
  • Stay connected to your sport in a new way
  • Make a real difference in a kid's life

reason kids quit sports: it stopped being fun. Young coaches fix that.
