Find a coach and send a request
Two entry points are on Discover:
- Book a coach (「コーチを予約」), which opens the coach search. Tapping a coach opens their public profile.
- Make a request (「リクエストを作る」), which opens the request form. This is the normal way to book. You describe the lesson, and coaches make offers to you.
The request form
| Field | What to enter | Rule |
|---|---|---|
| Lesson type (「レッスンタイプ」) | Standard lesson (「通常レッスン」: a private lesson with a certified coach) or Official evaluation (「公式レベルチェック」: to have your level certified) | The type cannot be changed while editing. To change it, cancel and send a new request. |
| Lesson length (「レッスンの長さ」) | 1 hour or more | The time window must fit the length. |
| Date (「日付」) | A day within the next 14 days | Later days are refused. |
| Earliest start and latest end (「いちばん早い開始時間」「いちばん遅い終了時間」) | Your window | The latest end must be after the earliest start plus the lesson length. |
| Location (「場所」) | An area, a station, or a court, or your current location | An area uses a search radius (「検索範囲」). A court request asks for the court. |
| I have a court booked (「コートはすでに予約しています」) | Tick it if you already have the court | The court search replaces the radius. |
Submit with Send to coaches (「コーチに依頼を送る」). The confirmation says 「リクエストを送りました。コーチからオファーが届いたら、お知らせします。」
What happens next:
- Coaches who have set a location near your search area can see the request in their Requests tab.
- You get a notification when an offer arrives (「{{name}}さんからオファーが届きました。」).
- If the school you picked has not finished its payment setup, the form says it cannot take requests yet: "This school has not finished its payment setup yet, so it cannot take requests." Pick another school or try again later.
Your open requests are listed on Discover under 「進行中のリクエスト」 (Active requests). You can edit one (「編集する」) or cancel it (「キャンセルする」). Cancelling a request cannot be undone. If you edit a request that already has pending offers, the app asks first, because the offers are declined when you save.
