Worked front-side rotation today. Big difference by the third round — he stopped drifting and started turning.

Your lessons are a business.Start running them like one.
A page families can find, a cage you can book, payments that land in your bank, and a record of every athlete you've worked with. Bring the clients you already have — we take nothing on them.
Every coach is background-checked and reviewed by a person. You pay nothing until you're approved.

What you actually get
Not a listing in a directory. The operating pieces of a coaching business, in one place.
A profile families can find
Photos, video, reviews, your socials and a book button. It's indexed, and we already rank for cages in your city — your page inherits that traffic, and you can see how many people viewed it.
Somewhere to hold the lesson
Every backyard cage, facility and field we know about, on one map. Book the space and the lesson in the same place instead of texting around for a cage.
Money that just arrives
Onboard with Stripe once. Families pay through the platform, funds land in your bank, and you stop being the person asking for cash at the end of a session.
Clients who rebook
Scheduling, reminders and a history for every athlete you train. The difference between a good month and a real income is retention, not new leads.
New athletes, when you want them
Families search for lessons in your town every day. When we hand you one, you keep 95% — the first session and every session after it.
Income you can write off against
Documented earnings mean documented deductions. Bats, buckets, nets, cage time, mileage — the things you're buying already.
The part no booking site has
Most platforms end at the transaction. Cage Log is where the coaching itself lives — and because every post carries a book button, the work you did last Tuesday is also how the next family finds you.
Every session leaves a record
Photos, video and your notes attach to the athlete, not to a camera roll. Six weeks in, a family can see the swing they started with next to the swing they have now.
Parents see the work they're paying for
The hardest part of private coaching is that families only ever see the hour. A log of what you actually worked on is the difference between a client who renews and one who drifts.
Last Tuesday's work is next week's booking
A post is not just a record — it carries a book button. The families reading it are the ones already looking for a coach in your town.
Your job is to coach
Most private coaches spend more time on scheduling, chasing payments and finding cage space than they spend teaching. That is backwards, and it is the part we take off you.
We market you
Your page is built to be found, and it sits inside a site already ranking for cages, facilities and lessons across the country. You get the traffic without buying ads.
We coach the coaching business
What to charge, how to turn a first lesson into a standing weekly slot, how to write a profile a parent actually books. The things nobody teaches you when you start taking clients.
You keep three things current
Your availability, where you coach, and the gear you bring. That is genuinely the whole job on your side — everything else runs itself.
Not sure what to buy?
We keep a running list of what a coach actually needs to run sessions — net, tee, throw-downs, a bucket of balls, a first aid kit — and what is worth adding once you have steady clients.
See recommended gearWhat it costs, in full
You should be able to read this once and know exactly what you'll be charged, for as long as you coach with us.
Once · after you're approved
$55 goes to Checkr for your background check. $10 stays with us for reviewing your application. You're charged after you're approved and your check clears — never on the way in.
Clients you bring yourself
Bring your existing athletes and we take nothing. Your client covers the card processing, and you keep your full rate.
Athletes we send you
About 3% is the card cost and 2% is us, so you keep 95%. The family pays a one-time $10 finder's fee. CoachUp charges the family $24.99 for the same introduction.
Per year after year one
Continuous background monitoring — we're alerted the day something is filed, rather than re-checking once a year. Waived entirely for any year you coached an athlete we sent you.
Checkr is the screening company we use — you can read about who they are before you hand them anything. You enter your details with them directly; CageList never sees your Social Security number or date of birth.
Why a flat share matters
CoachUp pays a coach 57% of the first session with a new athlete and works them back up to 94% over five. We don't do tiers. When we send you someone, you keep 95% of that lesson and of every lesson after it — and on a single client the arithmetic looks like this.
What we don't cover
CageList doesn't provide liability insurance. You're an independent coach running your own business, and we'd rather say that plainly than let you find out after something happens. We'll point you toward the carriers other CageList coaches use, and the premium is deductible against your coaching income.
One new athlete, $60.00/hr
What the coach takes home| Session | CoachUp | CageList |
|---|---|---|
| Session 157% vs 95% | $34.20 | $57.00 |
| Session 272% vs 95% | $43.20 | $57.00 |
| Session 382% vs 95% | $49.20 | $57.00 |
| Session 487% vs 95% | $52.20 | $57.00 |
| Sessions 5–1094% vs 95% | $338.40 | $342.00 |
| Ten sessionsSame athlete, same rate | $517.20 | $570.00 |
$52.80 more per athlete — and on CoachUp the clock resets to 57% every time you take on someone new.

We read it
A real person, usually within two days. We're looking for people who know the game and can teach it — not only people who played it.

Only once you've cleared. Set your rate, add your photos, and your page is searchable the same day.
Coach full time.
We'll help you get there.
You bring the ability. We'll bring the families looking for you, the cages to hold the sessions in, and the tools to run it like the business it is.
Applying is free. You're only charged once you're approved and your background check clears.
