Why coach on KICKUP Online

  • Fits around your schedule

    One slot a week is fine. You publish your own availability and can pause any time. It works alongside a club role.

  • Reach players you couldn't before

    Japanese players living abroad, players in regions with few qualified coaches — video plus a call closes the distance.

  • Good coaching is rewarded

    Ratings and repeat rates raise your rank and your per-session fee. Careful work is recognised.

  • We handle everything else

    Acquisition, scheduling, payments and disputes are ours. You watch, talk, and write the report.

Pay and working style

We won't ask you to start on vague terms. Here's what we know so far.

How pay works
A fixed fee per session, set to cover preparation and report writing as well as the call itself.
Rank system
Five tiers: Certified, Advance, Professional, Expert, Premier. Based on ratings, repeat rate, report quality, and meeting our SLAs (Zoom link within 48h, report within 24h).
Payment cycle
Planned as month-end close with payment at the end of the following month.
What you need
A computer that can screen-share, a stable connection, and a Zoom account. No equipment purchase required.

Exact fees and rank criteria will be finalised after the validation phase. Anyone who registers beforehand will be told the final terms individually.

Common questions

I currently coach at a club. Is that a problem?

Please check your club's rules. We don't require exclusivity, and you can use a display name other than your legal name.

Can I coach players who only speak English or Spanish?

Yes. List those languages on your profile and families searching in them will find you.

How much time does reviewing the video take?

Submitted videos are up to 10 minutes. Expect 20-30 minutes to watch and take notes, plus about 15 minutes for the report.

Start by creating your profile

Every application is reviewed (usually 2 business days). You appear in the coach list once you are approved and have added open slots.
