Hello,
Ive been an instructor on the site for a few weeks now. I have to say that it’s an organization mess with 0 communication to be found.
Here’s the gist. You apply to become a coach, get accepted, set your availability and your rate and you’re set. Right? Not really. They fluff the statistics on how many people actually use the site, to kind of swing you in. The site looks professionally made, etc.. but in reality it’s an elaborate scam, for both players and coaches.
I’m sat here with 3 texts from random people at MTL called “Baker”, “Scott”, and “Will”. **** knows who they are. They tell me somebody in my area wants a lesson. And if I wanna take them on. I’m like yes I wanna take them on. So I reply to them. Within minutes. No reply back. So I’m thinking they just made the students available on my dashboard. Nope. Desperately trying to call the numbers and no reply or response. ****. No idea what the students names are, their address, phone number, anything. Just the area code of where they live in. Can’t get in touch with them in any sort of capacity. I call the company, last ditch effort to get my clients. They tell me it’s “not the companies responsibility if a student drops out”. But how am I supposed to know that? Some communication would be nice, let me know they’re not interested just something instead of ghosting me and sending my number to VM. Jesus. Real sketchy that they claim they aren’t interested mere minutes after I reply too.
I see the reviews online too. People complain that the middle-man isn’t there. He communicates one thing and disappears. Seen one review, 1 star. Claims that they reached out after he wanted to book a lesson with a local coach, said if you’re still interested we’ll contact him. They say yes. Middleman disappears nowhere to be seen. Another review, student isn’t notified that an instructor ****s off for vacation or whatnot. Can’t refund his money. MTL says the package was prepaid. Another 1 star. People complain about the middleman constantly, it’s terrible.
Stay away, instructors and students. Instructors: Build a local client base, word of mouth and through relatives is stronger than you think. Students: Either go to a club or ask around for local coaches. MTL puts my lessons at $77 an hour (!) even though I only charge $35 (!!!). I understand they need to make money as well, but that’s over half. Gonna try PlayYourCourt. They seem a bit more genuine. Hopefully it works.
