How do you charge me to use the Coacha app for tennis?
We just charge you a subscription fee each month to use the Coacha app for tennis. Really, that’s it! Use all the great features at no additional charge. Many app for tennis providers charge extra for adding additional players to your online roster, cancel contracts, send emails, etc. You’ll find none of that while using our app for tennis!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Are there any cancellations charges if I no longer need to use the app for tennis?
None whatsoever. You only pay the one monthly fee to use the online booking system for tennis and if you no longer need to use it, then you can just cancel your subscription in your dashboard so that Coacha doesn’t bill you the following month. That’s it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If I need to stop using the online booking system for tennis for a while, what happens to my data?
Your personal data and everything else pertaining to players and coaches stays safe in our secure servers. When you’re ready to pick up where you left off, just login to your online booking system for tennis, pay the monthly charge, and enjoy the great features again!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
How do I charge my players when using your online booking system for tennis?
The Coacha online booking system for tennis is integrated with GoCardless for making monthly payments and Stripe to allow players to conveniently make payments to you each month. It’s all automated, so you don’t have to worry about a thing. Just set up your GoCardless account within the online tennis booking system and ask your players to do the same with their Stripe account.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’m not that computer-savvy or familiar with using an online tennis booking system – is Coacha difficult to set up and use?
Not at all – our online tennis booking system has been designed to be very easy and straightforward to set up, and even easier to use.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there dedicated support if I need help with using the online tennis booking system?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is your online tennis club scheduling app a marketing tool? E.g. can it help me grow my business?
Well, we haven’t designed our online tennis club scheduling app to function as a marketing tool per se, but it helps you passively market your club in several ways:
- Streamline communication between yourself and players as well as between players and coaches
- Keep everyone informed on the latest happenings, including parents and NOKs of younger players
- Give your players a platform to register instantly and indicate their availability, as well as check class schedules
All of the above and more show your club as a professional entity which facilitates communication and extends player privileges through an easy single-point of access. When people see how easy it is to keep track of everything, and especially, communicate with you through the online tennis club scheduling app, your club will automatically attract more players and even better retain them.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What kind of software for tennis clubs is Coacha? Is it the same as the ClubSpark court booking system?
Well, the Coacha software for tennis clubs works in a similar way to the ClubSpark court booking system – it allows you to keep a track of things and manage your club a lot better with features like class scheduling and automatic monthly payments. However, most folks who are using or have used our software for tennis clubs at some point, feel that it does many things better than other mainstream software for tennis clubs, including Real Tennis online booking system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who will help me download, install and set up the software for tennis clubs?
Absolutely no one needed! Our software for tennis is pretty much what you’d call “plug and play” –
download it, follow the on-screen instructions to set it up and enjoy the FREE 14-day trial! Once you see for yourself how useful and innovative the features are to help you manage your tennis club, you can continue using it after 14 days simply by subscribing.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does your software for tennis support any other payment integrations apart from GoCardless and Stripe?
Yes, indeed! Our software for tennis supports all major credit and debit cards through Stripe and GoCardless respectively; you can also enable bank transfer, cash, BACS payments and Standing Order from within the software for tennis, if you find that more convenient.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other software tennis providers like British Tennis software and Real Tennis online booking software are providing multiple payment integrations – why does Coacha offer just two?
Perfectly fair question and glad you asked!
We’re aware that a number of software tennis providers, including British Tennis software are offering multiple payment merchant integrations, but we want to ask you this:
- How many of them are 100% secure?
- Offer the lowest rates on the market?
- Make online payments quick, easy and super-simple?
While we understand that other leading tennis club management systems such as British Tennis software are offering several payment merchant integrations, we have done extensive research, and found Stripe and GoCardless to offer the best rates across the UK and beyond. In addition, they are also ultra-secure and go to great lengths to protect their customers’ personal data.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve used British Tennis software in the past and quite liked it – is Coacha the same?
Our tennis club management system is right on par with British Tennis software in terms of features, although many of our users feel Coacha is better in several ways. Why not see for yourself with a completely FREE 14-day trial?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there any kind of installation or setup required on my device before downloading and installing the tennis club management system?
That’s a negative! Our tennis club management system is pretty much “plug and play” – download it on your preferred device, follow the on-screen instructions, and you’re live!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which devices does your tennis club management system support?
The Coacha tennis coaching software supports all iOS and Android devices, as well as Windows and Mac OS-based desktop devices. In fact, if you want, you can even use it on your PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I still can’t believe your tennis coaching software is so inexpensive as most tennis coaching software providers are charging much higher – are you sure there are no hidden costs?
None at all, we promise! Once you register for the paid version of our tennis coaching software, all you need to do is pay a low subscription fee to use it each month, not worry about anything else, and just focus on growing your business!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What happens if I need to stop using the tennis coaching software for a while? Is there a cancellation or ‘suspension fee’?
Nothing of that sort with us! If you need to take a break from the tennis coach software, then simply cancel your subscription in the main dashboard and Coacha won’t bill you the following month. When you’re ready to start using your awesome tennis coach software again, pay the monthly fee and dive right back in!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do I have to be a credit card holder to use the tennis coach software?
No, you don’t. There’s no need to attach credit or debit card details to your tennis coach software, because all that’s needed are your bank account details to make the monthly payment to us via direct debit through GoCardless.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does your tennis coach software offer any COVID19-safety features?
Oh, it does! Our tennis court booking software comes with a number of useful COVID19-safety features, including:

Here’s a look at the full suite of
COVID19-safety features that come with our tennis court booking software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can the Coacha tennis court booking software integrate with my website?
No – because it doesn’t need to! Coacha is a standalone tennis court booking software which allows your members to register, book, and schedule classes, as well as communicate with you simply by logging in. They won’t ever need to visit your website after the first contact, unless they absolutely have to in order to avail a new promotion, perhaps. Even for that purpose, you can use the tennis court booking system to send notifications and/or reminders.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Where can I find the Terms of Service for your tennis court booking system?
The Terms of Service for our tennis court booking system can be found right
here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is there a Privacy Policy I can view before using your tennis court booking system?
Certainly – here’s a link to the Privacy Policy for our tennis court booking system.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don’t have a card and I don’t want to commit to anything just yet – can I get a demo of your tennis court management software or try it out for free?
Well, you don’t need a credit or debit card to enjoy our tennis court management software’s fantastic features. You can try it out for free – however, we’re not offering demos at the moment.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
t software?
Well, there are a couple of reasons for this:
Dedicated 1-1 demos are a tad difficult for our team to manage, given the amount of new tennis clubs like yourself coming on board on a daily basis. Calls often get tied up in our ticket support system as some users are more demanding than others in terms of the level of support they require.
Many tennis court management software who do offer demos find a way to sneak additional charges in somehow and we strongly oppose these kind of tactics. With that said, our hard-working boffins have come up a full
demo video which answers about 80% of commonly asked questions people have about using the tennis court management software. It’s totally worth the view as people who have had questions about using Coacha or wanted a 1-1 demo found the video beyond helpful.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can I keep adding members to the tennis club booking software or is there an extra charge once a certain number of members has been exceeded?
You can add as many members to your tennis club member software as you like – keep growing your business at no extra cost!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I need help with setting up or configuring the tennis club management platform – who should I contact?
We’ve taken every step possible to ensure that setup or configuration of your tennis club membership software is a simple and straightforward process. However, should you require any assistance, please submit a ticket from within the tennis online member management software and our helpful support staff will get back to you within 24 hours.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Can you help me set up GoCardless or Stripe that’s integrated with your tennis online member software?
But, of course! To link GoCardless with your tennis scheduling management software, all the instructions are on this
page. To link with a Stripe account, you’ll find the necessary steps
here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Do players need to create an account within the tennis scheduling software and do they also have to pay to use the features?
Only you need to pay the subscription fee each month for using the tennis court booking system in the UK (or other supported regions), although players in your club do need to create a separate account with login credentials, to communicate with you using the same awesome tennis court booking system in the UK or other regions that are supported!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Coacha strictly ‘tennis club billing management software’ or can I also use it to grow and expand my business?
Coacha is much more than just ‘tennis club billing management software’ – it’s a complete tennis club admin and management solution for those who want to automate day-to-day tasks and have more time as well as energy to focus on other aspects of the business.
We’ve included a broad range of features which indirectly help you grow your business:
- Manage all your player and coach information, including NOKs and parents of players, from one central point. Add players easily and limit access to certain players if you wish.

- Allow players to book themselves into classes and save time through fully automated registers. Attendance tracking as well as secure, permanent and backed up records, mean that you always have essential class data at your fingertips.

There’s just far too many exciting features to discuss within one answer! See the complete list of features for our best-in-class tennis software
here.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to see how much I’ve been paid via GoCardless in the ‘online scheduling for tennis’ software – is there a way to see that?
To access the funds GoCardless releases to your club (in the form of fees registered players have paid), find the ‘Money’ option from the ‘online scheduling for tennis’ software’s main dashboard. Then go to Settings and then ‘View Payouts’.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I want to integrate the Coacha tennis scheduling app with my website – how do I do that?
At the moment, there’s no feature for website integration with your tennis scheduling app – we’re offering something even better – a FREE bespoke Member Portal which comes with the tennis scheduling app as standard. This Portal allows your players (including their parents and NOKs) as well as coaches to log in and check things out, just like they would on your website. It’s a practical solution that works for all!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is Coacha tennis club accounting software? Can it be used as “tennis club accounting software”?
Even though Coacha makes tennis club administration and management really easy, it is not meant to be used as tennis club accounting software. It’s more of a tennis booking software to help clubs get registrations and bookings a lot faster than they normally would, and with nearly half the time and effort.
With that said, you can certainly use your ‘tennis booking software’ to export the required data to a proper accounting software like Xerox, Sage or QuickBooks, for example, and then do what you need to do.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I may have possibly found a bug in the tennis booking software – how do I report it?
Even though we put our tennis software through stringent quality testing, if you come across any bugs, please report them through Coacha’s ticket system which is accessible directly from our tennis software.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I forgot my password to the tennis software – what should I do to get a new one?
These things happen all the time, so no need to worry! When you access your tennis software, look to the screen’s top right section where it says to login and enter your password. Below that, there’s a ‘forgot password’ link – click on that, and we’ll send you a new password within seconds.
We recommend keeping a strong password but one that’s also easy to remember – perhaps, your favourite pet’s name followed by a specific number combination or anything, really, which has a combination of alphabets, characters and numbers. Do write it down and tuck away in a safe place though!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve come across a handful of ‘free’ tennis scheduling apps – is Coacha also a free tennis scheduling app
Well, Coacha may be classified as a ‘free’ tennis scheduling app because it’s totally free to download and try for the first 14 days. Most providers who are offering an online tennis court booking system for free find a way to add fees later – it’s inevitable and you’d be surprised so as to how high these fees tend to be, even though you’re “allegedly” using an online tennis court booking system for free!
We never mislead our users into thinking that Coacha is an online tennis court booking system for free – again, it’s certainly free to download but you pay a fee to use it each month, a rate that’s far more competitive than the vast majority of even the best tennis apps available today.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best tennis apps available to use are priced a lot higher than what you’re offering – how do you manage to keep your rates so low?
Oh, we are aware and thanks! We did a fair amount of research into the best tennis apps which were available to download at the time Coacha was being developed. And, even though they had a large fan base and people were quick to hail them as the “best tennis apps”, we realised that they were cutting too much into the profits tennis clubs would make.
So whether you pay each month or in one yearly lump sum, you continue to pay the same charge all throughout. Well, so much for those other “best tennis apps”, right?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What makes Coacha among the best tennis apps available right now?
In addition to our super-competitive pricing which we’re very proud of, we believe Coacha is easily among the best tennis coaching apps due to the simplicity and ease-of-us it offers users. Go ahead and try it out absolutely FREE for 14 days to see how user-friendly and helpful it is!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve seen how the best tennis coaching apps lock users into a contract and even charge a cancellation fee – is Coacha the same?
Yes, unfortunately, that is the case with many of the leading best tennis coaching apps where you’re required to sign a contract and fulfil the terms – any cancellation within the term means you pay a fee.
Coacha never puts that burden on you – use it for as long as you like, when you want to cancel, simplycancel your subscription in your dashboard, and we won’t bill you next month. That’s pretty much it!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The best tennis coaching apps available today are charging users for adding players above a certain limit – what about Coacha?
We’ve heard similar feedback from many of our regular users – how the best tennis coaching apps are charging a ridiculous fee for adding over a certain number of members.
However, with Coacha, no matter how much your club expands, we’re not going to charge you a penny extra!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve never heard of ‘management of tennis reservation by internet’ – how does it work?
Oh, it’s really simple and you’ll love it!
‘Management of tennis club by internet’ works by downloading a specialised software which you can then use to manage everything from day-to-day admin and attendance to class scheduling and sending notifications to players. That’s just the tip of the iceberg. Plus, management of tennis bookings via the internet is super-easy to set-up – that’s what Coacha is all about. Download the FREE 14-day trial now to see what we mean.
You’ll soon realise why people keep calling Coacha the ‘best tennis club software’ there is!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I’ve never used any kind of software for online scheduling for tennis clubs – is Coacha a complex piece of software and do I have to be computer-savvy to use it effectively?
We get this question a lot, actually! And no, the Coacha ‘online scheduling for tennis clubs’ app is as easy and straightforward as they come: download it, follow the setup instructions and you’re up and running within minutes!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
‘Online tennis scheduling’ sounds like there’s a lot of work involved – do I have to be internet-savvy to effectively use Coacha?
Nothing of the sort! The Coacha online tennis scheduling app requires an iOS/Android device and an internet connection – download and follow the instructions. You’re all set!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Which payment solutions for tennis clubs does Coacha offer?
Coacha supports two of the best payment solutions for tennis clubs: both GoCardless and Stripe for receiving player payments CoCardless to pay your monthly subscription fee directly to us. All major debit and credit cards are taken care of by Stripe and direct debits by GoCardless, and you can also manually record any Standing Orders, BACS transfers and cash payments directly in Coacha too.
When it comes to scheduling for tennis sessions online, pretty much all our users prefer GoCardless and Stripe as they find scheduling for tennis clubs so much easier with their transparent payment terms and lowest market rates.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Does the Coacha ‘scheduling for tennis’ app allow players to book locations, venues and/or items, such as courts, equipment, uniforms, etc.?
It absolutely does! We thought your players might find this feature really useful when scheduling classes for tennis clubs, so we included it. Just go to the Club Settings tab and turn on “Venue Bookings”.
