Creating A Coaching Course

Within the Coaching Module, you are able to create coaching courses within your coaching programmes. 

PLEASE NOTE: In order for your courses to display on the public website and receive online payments you must register an account with our payment provider Stripe.

To create a new course, head to the Coaching Module and select the programme (or create a new one) that the course will be part of. 

Once you have selected the coaching programme, click on 'Add new course' in the top right-hand corner of the screen. You will need to decide what type, of course, you want to create. 

Click here to create a Single Session Course 

Click here to create a Recurring Session Course 

These are the steps in creating a Short Course, which is a course that is normally 2 - 12 weeks long where players will pay for the full course You can also add a waitlist to your Short Courses. 

You will need to enter all the course details such as course name, skill level, age level, start date and description which will all be visible on your website. 

The confirmation test will be seen by the player once they have completed the booking. 

Enter the start date of your upcoming course - or if required - enter a past date or same-day date for courses which have already started. Choose an interval (weekly or daily), number of sessions and the capacity for your course. Along with contact details, that will be displayed on the course online. 

You can also select the days you want the course to take place, simply click on the days as shown below. Please Note: When selecting multiple days, this means that the course will be happening on those days at the same time. If you want to offer the course on different days of the week at different times, you will need to create a course for each time you want it to be at. 

If you have enabled the waitlist feature on your coaching category, here you will be able to turn it on for your short course.

If you are creating an adult course that is within a Custom Coaching Category, then you will be able to select if you would like for it to appear on the LTA Rally website.

If you would like the course to be more personal, you can also add a Course Cover image. For best viewing on this image, we recommend that the image has the dimensions of 1800px by 440px. 

Now you will need to enter the price of your course. Here you will be able to add member discount as well as the option to allow players to join after the course has started. If you tick the 'Allow joining after the course has started?' box, you can enter a cost per class which players pay depending on how many classes are remaining. If you leave the cost per class box empty, players will be charged the full cost of the course. 

Lastly, you will need to enter your Class Defaults which will be the default for the upcoming classes/sessions.

Sessions/Classes within a course can be edited after the course has been saved. 

Coaching Accounts Only: You can enter the venue where your course will take place, just start typing and it will appear in the drop-down menu.

If your venue does not appear, click on the blue link to 'request a new venue'. Fill in the details of the venue on the following screen and click on submit. This will be sent to the LTA database and take approximately 48 hours to be added.

Venue accounts do not have the option to select alternative locations for coaching courses.  

Enter the details of your lead coach and any other coaches who will be helping to run the course in the 'Coaching team' box, you can also add coaches to your team by clicking on the '+ Add' button without navigating away from the page.

Once the course has been saved, you will be taken to your course page where you can view, edit and add new classes. To edit a class, click on the class you wish to edit and you will be able to edit the Class Defaults for the select class.
