Leave your email and we'll send the survey straight over — plus the report the day it's ready.
- Anonymous by design. The survey never asks for your name or your club, and every number published is aggregated.
- Eleven questions, mostly multiple choice. Fill it in on your phone between lessons.
- Every coach who takes part gets the finished report by email. No cost, no sales call.
What the report will show you
One picture of the UK market, built from what coaches actually do — not what the internet says they should.
- 01
Private 1-to-1 rates
What coaches charge per hour, broken down by region and by years of experience.
- 02
Group and squad pricing
How group sessions are priced per head, and where the margin really sits next to a private lesson.
- 03
Hours actually delivered
Weekly on-court hours across the UK, and how that shifts between club-employed and self-employed coaches.
- 04
How coaches take bookings
WhatsApp, spreadsheets, the club's system or an app — and what each one costs in admin time.
- 05
Getting paid
How often coaches are chasing unpaid lesson fees, and what actually stops it happening.
- 06
Late cancellations and no-shows
How common they really are, and which cancellation policies coaches enforce in practice.

Who's running the study
Slice is a booking platform for tennis and padel coaches. Players see your real availability, book and pay upfront, and get automatic reminders — and you keep 100% of your rate.
We're running this study because coaches keep asking us the same question, and nobody has a straight answer: am I charging the right amount?
- Players book your real availability — no more back-and-forth to find a slot.
- Paid at the time of booking, so you're not chasing £30 three weeks later.
- Automatic reminders, cancellation windows and no-show handling built in.
- Free for coaches. You keep 100% of your rate.
Questions, answered
- Is it really anonymous?
- Yes. The survey doesn't ask for your name or your club, and everything published is aggregated — no individual coach or rate is identifiable. Your email stays with us, purely so we can send you the link and the report.
- Who can take part?
- Any padel or tennis coach working in the UK — employed, self-employed, full-time or a few hours a week. Coaching both sports is fine; the survey asks.
- How long does it take?
- About five minutes. Eleven questions, mostly multiple choice, and it works fine on a phone.
- When does the report come out?
- As soon as we have enough responses to break the results down by region. Everyone who takes part gets it by email first.
- Do I have to use Slice?
- No. The study is open to every UK coach, whatever you use to run your bookings. Taking part doesn't sign you up to anything.
