Price on value
Your rate tells a family what to expect before they meet you. Price what the hour is worth, not what feels safe.
Coach playbook, 3 of 5. Price is the first thing a parent compares and the last thing a coach feels sure about.
01
What a rate says
A low rate says you are new or unsure. A high rate says you expect results and you have earned the right to ask for them. Parents compare coaches on price first, then on trust.
02
Not everyone should charge the same
Isaac Hess charges $120 an hour. A coach in their first year may start lower and raise the rate as the calendar fills. If you are booked solid for two weeks, raise it.
03
How packs discount
A 10 pack at 20% off turns a $120 hour into $96 a session. The family commits to ten weeks, and you get a full calendar. You do not run the discount by hand: CageList does it.
- Single lessonYour solo rate.
- 5 pack and 10 packA discount on every session, paid up front.
- Two playersEach family pays less than the solo price and you earn more for the hour.
04
Raise it slowly
Existing lessons keep the price they were booked at. Change your rate for new bookings only and tell regular families first.
