Account eligibility
The person must have an eligible RacketBridge account before professional status is considered.
Coaching
A coach profile should answer the practical questions first
RacketBridge's approved coach model is designed to show the information a player needs before starting an inquiry: sports, levels, formats, services, fees, availability, credentials and verification states.
This staging site does not yet publish live coach listings or operate coach inquiries or coach payments. This page explains the approved public-profile model without pretending those workflows are already available.
Published profile
What players should be able to see
- Sports
- Enabled sports and levels served
- Formats
- Lesson and clinic formats
- Services
- Durations, fees and participant limits
- Availability
- Recurring times and relevant options
- Credentials
- Declared and verified states kept distinct
Approval is not payment
Four decisions stay separate
RacketBridge does not treat a paid professional plan as proof that someone is an approved or verified coach. The approved product model keeps account eligibility, professional approval, credential verification and profile publication separate.
Professional approval
A coach application can be approved, rejected, changed, withdrawn or suspended independently of payment.
Credential verification
Self-declared credentials remain visibly different from credentials verified by RacketBridge or an authorized organization.
Publication
Only a profile that is entitled, approved and published becomes a public professional page.
Useful before contact
The profile carries the context
A published profile is intended to let a player judge fit before sending an inquiry instead of relying on a name and telephone number alone.
Player fit
Sports, locations, languages, levels served and lesson formats make it clearer whether the coach matches the player's actual need.
Service details
Services can include duration, price, currency, participant limits and relevant cancellation or refund terms.
Professional context
Biography, credentials, verification states, organization affiliations and relevant evidence expiry are kept visible and distinguishable.
Availability
Recurring availability, exceptions and travel or online options can be shown where they are meaningful.
Private inquiry first
Contact details do not have to be the first step
The approved RacketBridge model lets a member begin a coach inquiry from a published profile without automatically receiving the coach's personal telephone number or email address.
If contact details are later shared, that sharing is deliberate and recipient-specific. Unpublished, suspended or out-of-scope coach profiles are excluded from public search even when a paid entitlement exists.
