How it works

Simple for coaches, simple for families

Coaches create a profile

Set up your free coach profile in minutes. Add your sport, qualifications, session types, location and fees. Your profile is immediately visible to local searches.

Players and parents search locally

Parents and players search by sport and postcode to find coaches near them. They can compare profiles, view session details and check trust signals before making contact.

Everyone connects through sessions

Parents enquire through Coachii, coaches respond and manage sessions, and players join. All communication, scheduling and squad management — in one app.

Trust & Safeguarding

Designed with safety in mind

Coachii is built to help parents make informed, confident decisions. Coach profiles are designed to surface the signals that matter most to families.

DBS status visibility

Coaches can display their DBS status on their profile, so parents can see this information before enquiring. Coachii shows this as a clear visible signal to support informed decision-making.

Coaching badges & qualifications

See each coach's sport-specific qualifications, coaching badges and relevant experience displayed clearly on their profile — so you know what you're looking at before making an enquiry.

Reviews and profile transparency

Parent reviews help build a picture of what coaching sessions are really like. Transparent profiles mean you can research a coach thoroughly before you reach out.

Parent-friendly communication

All messaging happens through the app. No personal phone numbers shared upfront. Enquire, ask questions and decide in your own time — safely and on your terms.

UK grassroots sport focus

Coachii is built specifically for the UK grassroots sports community — not a generic global platform. The focus on local coaching, families and community sport shapes every part of the app.

Coachii helps coaches display trust signals on their profiles. Coachii does not independently verify all claims. Parents should always carry out their own checks before booking sessions for children.

Covering Manchester and beyond

Local sports coaching, discovered through Coachii

Coachii launches in Manchester — one of the UK's most active grassroots sports communities. Whether you're a parent looking for a football coach in Manchester or a player searching for youth football coaching near you, Coachii makes finding trusted local coaches straightforward.

Coachii supports a wide range of sports including football, tennis, cricket, basketball, rugby, netball, athletics, swimming, martial arts and more. As Coachii grows, it will expand beyond Manchester to cover local sports coaching communities across the UK.

For parents asking "how do I find a sports coach near me?" or "where can I find trusted sports coaching for my child?" — Coachii is built to answer exactly that question.
