Growing past 30 students? Paid plans raise the cap and unlock unlimited live classes with bigger rooms. Go over later and nothing is deleted — you simply move back to the free limits, with every student, course and record intact.
More than one coach? Run the whole academy.
An academy sits on top of normal coach accounts. Invite your coaches by email or a join link, pay for all of them on one central bill, and oversee every coach, student and live class from a single dashboard — while still teaching your own students from the same login. No coach ever enters a card.
- Plans for 5, 10 or unlimited coaches — 100 students each
- Unlimited live classes for every coach, plus 10% for paying 3 months up front
- The head coach is still a coach, not locked into admin
- If a plan lapses, nobody is locked out and no data is lost
How it works.
Board your coach account in under a minute — no card required.
Invite players, group them, set your schedule and fees.
Push homework, mark attendance, share parent reports.
What our players say.
The daily puzzles are my favourite part. I do a few every morning and I've slowly stopped hanging pieces.
I love the tactics races with my friends after class. It doesn't even feel like practice.
The game analysis actually tells me what went wrong in plain words. It's like a coach is sitting with me.
I used to get stuck in endgames. The endgame studies here fixed that for me.
Everything is in one place — puzzles, play, studies. I don't jump between apps anymore.
