For pickleball coaches

Fill your clinics. Stop chasing e-transfers.

One link for privates, packs and drill clinics. Players book and pay by card or e-transfer, the waitlist fills every cancellation, and a rainout is one tap. Free to start, CA$19 a month when you grow, and we never take a cut.

No card · 30 days of Solo free · 0% commission, ever

What eats a pickleball coach's week, and what Lessonluma does about it.

Clinic spots go by group chat, and two people always think they're in.

Each clinic has a cap and a waitlist. Players book and pay from your link; when someone cancels, the next player is moved in and texted.

Half your players pay by e-transfer and you match them from memory.

Every booking gets a short reference code. Mark it paid in one tap, or forward the bank's deposit email to your private Lessonluma address and the AI matches name, amount and code.

Wind and rain wipe out a Saturday clinic with eight players on it.

Tap Rain on the clinic. Everyone gets a text with your next open times or a credit, and their calendar invite updates.

Selling packs means a spreadsheet of who has lessons left.

Packs of 5 and 10 count themselves down. Players see their balance after every lesson and get a one-tap rebuy when one is left.

Runs itself

Reminders, rainouts and nudges, sent for you.

What your players actually receive, written from your real times, places and prices:

Rain buttonSMS to player
Rain at Mooney's Bay, so Saturday's 9:00 clinic is off. Pick a new time (Sun 10:00 or Tue 6:00 pm) or keep a credit: [link] – Dana Chen Pickleball
WaitlistSMS to player
A spot opened in Thursday's 6:00 pm drill clinic and it's yours, paid from your pack (3 left). Can't make it? Reply C. – Dana
AI assistantSMS to coach
add a 9th spot to Saturday's clinic and text the waitlist
Done. Saturday 9:00 now has 9 spots; Jo was first on the waitlist, is booked from her pack (2 left) and has been texted.

Every text names you and says how to stop. Messages about a minor always copy a parent. Promotions only go to people who said yes.

The rain button

Rained out? One tap moves the whole clinic.

Tap Rain on a lesson, a clinic or a whole day. Everyone booked gets your next open times or a credit, and their calendar updates. For outdoor places you also get a forecast heads-up the evening before.

Set up by describing it

Packs of 5, clinics of 8, zero spreadsheets.

Questions pickleball coaches ask

Can players book without an account?

They can see your page, prices and open times without one. To book they leave a name, email and phone, and can set a password to manage bookings later. There's no app to download.

How do clinics with a minimum work?

Set "runs with 4" and players see it on the clinic. You can see at a glance which clinics haven't reached it; if you call one off, everyone booked is told and credited in one tap.

Do I need a permit to teach on public courts?

Some cities require a permit for paid lessons on city courts and some don't allow them. Lessonluma doesn't book courts: it records where each lesson happens. Check your city's rules before you publish a location.

Where does e-transfer money go?

Straight to your own bank, as it does now. Lessonluma tracks it: the reference code on the booking, a one-tap "paid", and automatic matching when you forward the bank's deposit email.

What does Lessonluma cost?

Free for up to 10 active players (anyone booked in the last 30 days), with cards at 3.9% + CA$0.30 and e-transfer and cash free. Solo is CA$19 a month (CA$190 a year) for unlimited players, text reminders and the rain button, with cards at Stripe's cost. We never take a cut of a lesson.

What happens after the trial, or in the off-season?

Your first 30 days unlock Solo with no card. On day 31 you're back on Free limits unless you pick a plan, and you're never locked out of your players. Off-season, pause for CA$0 for up to 6 months a year: your page, players and credits stay live, and a new booking wakes the plan.
