Sports coaches: book a first assessment session

A good coaching relationship starts with an assessment: goals, current level, a few tests, then a plan. If new clients jump straight into a regular session, you spend half of it asking questions. With Book, new clients book a longer first assessment on your own booking page, tell you their goals in the note, and you book the sessions that follow from your list.

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations, places and prices are examples: set your own. Name regular sessions "for current clients" so new clients choose the assessment.

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. Ask for:

Ask anyone with an injury or health condition to contact you before booking, rather than writing details in the note, which appears in their calendar file.

Say in the description what to wear and bring: sports kit, trainers, water, a training log if they keep one.

At the end of the assessment, agree the rhythm and book the next sessions yourself from your bookings list. First and last name are enough; with their email, the client gets a confirmation with a calendar file for each session. Book doesn't send reminders, so the calendar files keep the plan visible. Book a progress review after a few weeks.

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open a few assessment slots each week at set times, and keep other hours for clients you book yourself.

Clients can't move or cancel online: they contact you, and you move the session from your list. Rescheduling works across services.

Book doesn't store training plans or results, take payments, sell session packs or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other coaches, create services per coach. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
