Sports coaches: run outdoor group sessions online

Outdoor sessions in a park, on a track or by the sea cost you nothing in rent and bring in groups, as long as people know where to meet, what happens when it rains, and that there's a place for them. With Book, each outdoor session is a service with places, a clear meeting point and a weather plan in the description, and people book on your own booking page.

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 places to what you can coach and supervise outdoors.

Say exactly where to meet: the park gate, the bench by the café, the track entrance. Add what to bring, such as water, a mat or trail shoes. The service name and description help people arrive at the right place.

Say in the description what happens in rain, heat or storms: the session runs anyway, moves to a covered spot, or is cancelled. If you cancel, tell each participant yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes. The booking form takes phone and email, so you can reach everyone quickly.

Daylight changes your hours. Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date, so set a summer timetable until the clocks change and a winter one after.

Each online booking takes one place, and a full session leaves your page. Book regulars yourself from your bookings list for a block of weeks; with their email, they get a calendar file for each session.

Some public spaces require permission for paid group sessions. Check the rules that apply to you, and keep group sizes within them.

Ask participants with injuries or health conditions to contact you before booking, rather than writing details in the note, which appears in their calendar file.

Book doesn't take payments, sell passes or send reminders. Participants can't move or cancel online: they contact you. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other coaches, create sessions per coach. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
