Private sports coaching, half the price.

Local high school and college athletes coach younger players 1-on-1 in soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, and more. Sessions are often $20–$35, compared with $60–$100+ for many traditional private coaches.

More 1-on-1 coaching. Less private-coach pricing.

Private coaches can be expensive, and group clinics don’t always give young players the individual attention they need. StudentGigs connects families with local high school and college athletes who can coach younger players in the sports they already know and love.

They’re close enough in age to relate, experienced enough to teach, and motivated to help younger athletes improve.

Frequently asked questions.

What sports are available on StudentGigs?

Soccer, basketball, baseball, tennis, swimming, volleyball, track and field, lacrosse, golf, and more. Student athletes list their sport, position, and experience level.

Does the student coach need certification?

No formal coaching certification is required. Student coaches are high school and college athletes who made varsity, play club, or compete at the college level. They know the sport because they play it.

What equipment is needed for lessons?

It depends on the sport. Generally, provide your child’s equipment (cleats, racket, ball, etc.). The student coach brings their coaching expertise. Specify any equipment details in the gig posting.

How long are typical sports lessons?

Most sessions run 45–60 minutes, though you can book longer sessions. The coach and family agree on session length when booking.

Can I book recurring weekly lessons?

Yes. Use the Rebook feature to schedule the same coach for a regular weekly slot. Consistent practice with the same coach leads to the best improvement.

What ages can take lessons?

Any age. Student coaches work with kids from elementary school through middle school. The coach adjusts drills and intensity based on the learner’s age and skill level.
