My name is Melissa and I am 23 years old. I recently graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Studies from Sonoma State University.
I have played three different sports my entire life and I am always find new methods to improve my skills. I can use what I learned and implement them to teach others.
A typical training would start off with warm up drills. It's very important to warm up the body before anything else. It's to avoid any injuries. After warmups we will focus on specific drills to improve skills and teamwork. It's important to work on improving skills but it is also very important to have fun. Towards the end of the practice I plan of have some free play as a reward and to make practice fun.
I have worked with children since I was 18. I first was a care provider for children with disabilities. Then I became an after school teacher where I got the opportunity to coach soccer to 4th-6th graders. I graduated with my AA at Sacramento City College two years ago. I then transferred to Sonoma State University where I recently received my Bachelor's degree in Early Childhood Studies.
The best coach I ever had was my high school soccer coach and my club volleyball coach. They pushed me to my full potential. They encouraged me to not give up. I have improved a lot in my skills and I have gained character.
I like to say I am fun but also very firm. I believe there is a time and place for everything.

If you’re looking to message a coach for the first time, go to their profile and click “Send a Message”. A type box will show, where you can enter and send your message. To follow up with a coach you've already contacted, log into your account and find the 'Inbox' tab. You'll see your message history and be able to send another note.
Once you find a coach that fits your needs, go to their profile, select the package you'd like to purchase, and click 'Book Lessons'. Here, you can reserve your desired number of lessons along with the number of athletes who will be training. After sessions are booked, coordinate the dates/times for each session on your calendar - using the calendar is important since this is how your coach will get paid.
Paying AU coaches via cash, Venmo, or any 3rd party is strictly prohibited. AU coaches know this, but their partnership with us is to split all bookings 80/20 - so coaches keep 80%. We use our 20% to help them find clients & manage their business. Without the split, we wouldn't be able to help our coaches & community thrive!
We integrate with Stripe - the largest & most secure payment processor in the US - to facilitate bookings. Paying online is required, and it simplifies the process for our coaches since it helps track their schedule & earnings in one place. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact our support team.
Each coach typically has at least one preferred training location. You can see the location(s) by going to your coach's profile and finding the 'Training Locations' section. If a coach doesn't have locations listed here, you can message the coach to see where they train. Some coaches are willing to travel to clients for lessons, or even meet halfway.
Each coach sets their own schedule for training. You can see a coach's general availability by going to their profile and finding the 'Availability' section - it will list the days and times. If a coach doesn't post their availability, or if your preferred coach doesn't have your desired times available but you want to double check, message them to see if they can work with your schedule.
Good Fit Guarantee — If your first lesson isn't the right fit, we'll move your lesson credit to a new coach. No hassle.
Easy rescheduling — Cancel or reschedule up to 4 hours before a lesson, no questions asked.
Coach no-shows — You'll be fully credited and we'll help you find a replacement.
Flexible credits — Unused lessons last 12 months and can be used with any coach on the platform.
