Q: How do I create my coach profile?

To create a coach profile on BestPadel: Sign in to your BestPadel account (or create one at bestpadel.com/auth/register). Make sure your email is verified — you will receive a verification link right after registration. Go to My Account → Coach Profile (or visit bestpadel.com/account/coach). Click Create Coach Profile to activate your profile. It will start in Pending Approval status while our team reviews it. Once approved, your profile becomes Active and is visible to players searching for coaches near your club locations. Tip: Link your profile to the clubs where you coach (in the Clubs tab) to appear in local coach searches.

Q: Can I invite a group of players at once?

Yes. Create contact groups in Account → Connections → Groups (e.g. "Weekend players" or "Mixed doubles"). When you click Invite players on your tournament, you can select one or more groups in addition to individual players; everyone in the selected groups is added to the invite list. If a group has optional filters (e.g. level or gender), only members matching those filters are included. Sending then creates one invitation per selected recipient.

Q: What is the difference between mute and block?

Mute: The connection stays in your list, but you no longer receive notifications from that user, and they cannot invite you to tournaments (if they try, they'll see that you've muted them). Useful if you want to keep the connection without getting their messages or invites. Block: The user is removed from your saved list and hidden from search. They cannot add you again until you unblock them. Blocked users appear in Account → Connections under the "Blocked" tab where you can unblock them if you change your mind.

Q: Who are "followers" in my connections?

Followers are users who have saved you as a connection. They appear in Account → Connections under the "Followers" section. You can then save, mute, or block them. Followers can be invited to your tournaments (unless they have muted or blocked you), and you can send announcements to all your followers from the Connections page.

Q: How do I accept or decline a tournament invitation?

Open Account → Notifications and find the tournament invitation. Click Accept to join the tournament (you'll be added as a participant when applicable) or Decline to turn it down. You can only respond once; after that the invitation is marked as accepted or declined. You can still open the tournament page from the notification to see details before deciding.

Q: What information do I need for my coach profile?

A great coach profile includes: Bio Summary — a short, first-person description of your coaching style, experience and specialties. You can use the ✨ Generate Summary AI button to draft one automatically. Languages — the languages you can coach in (up to 5). Teaching Levels — whether you teach Beginners, Intermediate or Advanced players. Hourly Rate & Currency — your standard lesson rate. Booking Hours — the days and times you are available for lessons. Club Affiliations — the venues where you provide lessons. This is crucial for SEO and local discoverability. The more complete your profile, the higher you will rank in search results.
