# Coach Rate + Court Price

There are two options when charging Customers for booking a private Lesson.

### Option 1 — Coach Rate, no court price

If option 1 is selected, there is no court booking price and the Customer pays exclusively for the Coach Rate. [The Coach Rate can be Split](/coaches/manage-coach-tiers.md#configuring-payout-and-splits) further between Coach and Club using either a **% Rate** or a **Fixed $**.

### Option 2 — Coach Rate + court price (default setting)

If option 2 is selected, the Customer pays for the court price + the Coach Rate.

The Court rate goes to the Club, and the Coach Rate (hourly) is set in the Coach Profile. [The Coach Rate can be Split](/coaches/manage-coach-tiers.md#configuring-payout-and-splits) further between Coach and Club using either a **% Rate** or a **Fixed $**.

Example with an additional split:

* A $60 Lesson where the Court costs $10 (Club receives) and the Coach costs $50, with a 20% split on the Coach Lesson
  * Club revenue: $20 ($10 Court + $10 from the 20% split on the $50 Coach Lesson)
  * Coach receives: $40

Example without an additional split:

* $60 Lesson where the Court costs $10 (Club receives) and the Coach costs $50, with a 0% split between Club and Coach:
  * Club revenue: $10 (Court only)
  * Coach receives: $50 For longer Reservations, both the Court and Coach costs scale up because rates are per hour.

In the screenshot below:

* **On the left** is Option 1, with no court price. Customers are only paying for the Coach Rate.
* **On the right** is Option 2, where Customers pay for the court price + Coach Rate.

### User's Choice

{% hint style="info" %}
The Venue page of the Dashboard is a feature in development.
{% endhint %}

Once you have selected your preferred option, anyone with the Owner role can:

1. Navigate to the Venue page of the Dashboard
2. Open a booking Experience
3. Click over to the Pricing tab
4. Flick ON or OFF the `Free court for lessons` toggles

**Turing it OFF will** keep the court/table price when a Lesson is booked.

**Turning it ON will** take away the court/table price when a Lesson is booked.

{% hint style="danger" %}
**When this setting is turned ON, the court discount also applies to all** [**Ball Machine**](https://docs.podplay.app/coaches/set-ball-machine-as-coach) **bookings. If you are turning this setting ON, adjust the Ball Machine prices to include the discounted court price.**

In some examples with this setting turned ON:

* The court rate is $40. When a Customer books the court, they pay $40. If the Customer books a Ball Machine, they pay $10 for the Ball Machine and the court will be $0. In this situation, change the Ball Machine from $10 to $50.
* The table rate is $25. When a Customer books the table, they will pay $25. If the Customer books a Ball Machine, they pay $15 for the Ball Machine and the court will be $0. In this situation, change the Ball Machine from $15 to $40.
  {% endhint %}

This setting is available for Members and Non-members.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.podplay.app/coaches/manage-coach-tiers/coach-plus-court-rate.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
