For Parents
Find the perfect coach for your child in three simple steps.
Find coaches by sport, location, and availability. Filter by verification status and price range.
See verified reviews, credentials, and our proprietary Trust Score to make informed decisions.
Message coaches through our platform and schedule sessions with confidence.
Every feature designed with your child's safety and your peace of mind at the center.
Identity-First Security
We use ID.me Face Match to ensure every parent and coach is exactly who they say they are. No bots, no bad actors.
The Veteran Advantage
Our Bayesian formula rewards long-term quality over "fake 5-star" spikes. One friend's review won't outrank 40 verified parents.
Transparent Communication
No unmonitored 1-on-1 chats between coaches and minors. Our "Double-Key" system ensures parents approve every conversation.
Payment Protection
Funds are held in secure escrow and only released when background checks are cleared and sessions are completed.
No Hate, No Spam, No Harm
Every review passes through 3 layers of AI screening before going public. Inappropriate content is caught before your child sees it.
When Help Matters Most
Our /safety pages have zero tracking. When a child needs crisis resources, we protect them—not our analytics.

We built RateMyCoach with youth privacy as the foundation, not an afterthought.
Youth profiles are invisible to the public. Only verified team members and parents can see athlete data. No enumeration, no scraping, no exposure.
We never store biometric data. Verification is handled by world-class partners (ID.me), leaving zero fingerprints on our servers. We store "verified: yes/no"—nothing more.
One-click data deletion. If you leave, your data leaves with you—wiped from our database, cloud storage, and search indexes instantly. No 30-day waits.
RateMyCoach isn't just an app; it's risk management infrastructure. Our "Financial Kill-Switch" automatically halts coach payments if a background check expires or flags an issue.
Automated Compliance
Background check expiration triggers automatic payment freeze
Immutable Audit Trail
Every safety report is court-admissible and cannot be deleted
Parent Trust
Transparent communication logs reduce he-said/she-said disputes
Automatic escrow protection
Safety is our source code.
