For coaching academies, clubs and holiday camps
Coaching for the term, camps on the holidays.
Booking software for sports coaching. Parents enrol their children in a term of coaching by age group, book holiday camp by the day or the week, and pay online when they book.
No card needed.
Every age group on one timetable
Set an age range on each session, so Mini Kickers only takes four- to six-year-olds and the adult sessions only take adults.
Holiday camps by the day or the week
Sell each camp day on its own and the whole week as one booking, with a lower price for younger children if you like.
Paid before the first session
Parents pay online when they book, straight into your own Stripe account. On Grow and Thrive they can pay by bank transfer instead.
01
A term of coaching, one enrolment.
Set up a term as a run of weekly sessions sold for one price, covering one or two sessions a week. A parent enrols once and their child’s place is held every week. Each session can still be booked on its own, so the same timetable takes a trial. When a single session is full, families join the waitlist.
02
Holiday camps, a day or a week.
Put each camp day on the timetable with its own limit on places. Families book the days they need, or the whole week for one price. Set a price for each age range and every child is charged the right one. A parent books all their children in one booking and pays once.
03
Know who’s on the field and who’s gone home.
Mark who came on the session list from your phone. Turn on sign-out and staff record each child leaving, with who collected them. Ask for the details you need at booking, like medical notes or an emergency contact, and have a parent agree to your consent form.
04
Adults play too.
Run adult sessions that people book one at a time or pay for with a pass, and short beginner courses booked once for every week. Sell gift cards for any amount, to spend on coaching, a term or a camp.
See what your families would see.
Open our demo sports academy’s storefront to see the coaching timetable, a term, the holiday camp and the adult sessions, the way a parent would.

Questions coaches and academies ask
Can families book a whole term at once?
Yes. A term is a run of weekly sessions sold for one price. A family enrols once and their child’s place is kept in each session. The same sessions can still be booked one at a time, for a trial or a one-off.
Can a holiday camp be booked by the day?
Yes. Each camp day is its own session with its own places, so families book the days they need. Sell the whole week as a term too, for one price.
Can younger children pay less?
Yes. Set a price for each age range on a session, a term or a camp. When a parent names each child, every child is charged the right price.
What if rain cancels a session during a term?
You choose how to put it right. Refund each family their share of the term for that session, or add a make-up session that they are booked into automatically. Families can’t book their own make-up for a session they miss.
What doesn’t Chocka do?
Chocka doesn’t run teams, fixtures, draws or results, and isn’t a club registration system. There is no app to download; families book on your site from their phone. There is no direct debit, no point of sale and no email marketing. Separate staff logins and the staff roster need the Thrive plan.
