Coaching Services

Coaching runs across three phases so both sides share a view of how the season unfolds. Each phase has clear training focuses and check-in points.

PHASE 1 · ASSESSMENT AND BASELINE

Assessment and baseline

Fitness testing, movement screen, and goal-setting session. The Coach produces a written training plan that defines training loads, weekly targets, and the competition schedule for the program.

PHASE 2 · TRAINING BLOCKS

Training and progression

On-field sessions and structured strength or conditioning work, with weekly load monitoring and adjustments based on recovery, performance, and any minor injuries flagged during check-ins.

PHASE 3 · COMPETITION AND REVIEW

Competition and review

Race-week or match-week taper, competition-day support where the schedule allows, and an end-of-program review with recommendations for the next block and any referrals for specialist support.

What is included

Baseline testing and a written program tailored to the athlete's goals
On-field or on-court coaching sessions per the weekly schedule
Weekly training plan updates and messaging between sessions
Competition-day support in line with the agreed schedule
End-of-program review and written recommendations

Not included: travel or entry fees for competitions, medical or physiotherapy care, nutrition plans, and gym or facility membership. New scope can be added in writing at any time.

About this template

The Sports Coach Contract template is a five-page document for locking down a coaching program before training starts. It carries a program overview with stat cards, recitals, a three-phase coaching breakdown, a monthly coaching fee table, and an acceptance page with inputs and signatures.

It is intentionally simple: rename what needs renaming in Bonsai, list your actual sessions and program length, and set the monthly fee. Merge fields handle the coach and client details, and the last page collects the sport, start date, and both signatures.
