Player & Parent Platform Terms

This is a template overview. It should be reviewed by a qualified legal adviser before you rely on it.

1. Role of the platform

  • The website provides an online platform where self-employed coaches advertise their services.
  • Coaches are independent contractors, not employees or agents of the platform.
  • Any coaching agreement is between you and the coach directly.

2. Safeguarding

  • Coaches are asked to declare an FA coaching qualification and a current DBS check.
  • Parents and guardians remain responsible for supervising children and deciding whether a coach is suitable.
  • Concerns about behaviour or welfare should be reported to the platform and, where appropriate, to the relevant club, County FA or authority.

3. Ratings

  • Parents and players may rate sessions. Individual feedback may be kept anonymous to coaches; only overall ratings are shown.
  • You agree not to post abusive, discriminatory or defamatory comments.

4. Payments

  • Where bookings are taken through the website, the platform may deduct a service fee before passing funds to coaches.
  • Details of prices, cancellation deadlines and refunds will be shown before you confirm a booking.

5. Data protection

  • Your data is processed in line with the website Privacy Policy.
  • You may use a first name or nickname for the player instead of a full legal name.
