Why do trainers have different titles for their "certification level"?

All trainers start out with an initial title of a "Certified Personal Soccer Trainer".  As trainers satisfy their continued education workshop requirements, complete more and more custom training sessions, and receive high ratings from clients they are rewarded with the next "Advanced".  Catalyst Soccer encourages trainers to develop their expertise year after year through our progressively challenging education system so they may reach the higher "Master" and "Elite" trainer certification levels that enable them to be more proficient at developing all types of soccer players and open more significant career opportunities.

 

Why do prices differ among trainers?

As trainers achieve higher certification levels they are deemed more qualified in a variety of topics and have proven to have a more successful track record for improving players; therefore, they are able to charge a higher rate.  Below is the price scale for the various trainer certification levels.  If a trainer offers a special discount or promotion those details will be stated on their profile and you can inquire with them directly about the reduced price.

What is the appointment service fee?

Before a player can reserve an appointment with a trainer they must pay a $5 service fee online. This fee is received by the National Catalyst Alliance for its operational costs to provide the online appointment system, manage this website, and give trainers the support resources they need to provide players qith quality training services.  You are also helping your trainer reach higher levels of status as a Certified Personal Soccer Trainer by utilizing the online appointment system - called "SetMore" - to book each of your training sessions because one requirement for a trainer to be promoted is to complete a specified number of training hours.

Terms and Conditions:

If you reschedule the appointment to a new date/time the $5 fee will be applied to the new reservation.  If you cancel the appointment the $5 fee will be refunded to the card you first paid with.  If the trainer you want to book with is offering a special promotion, package discount, or free trial then you must still pay the $5 fee to make the date/time reservation.  If you are unsatisfied with your trainer or training session the $5 appointment fee is still not refundable.

 

How do I cancel or reschedule an appointment?

View the confirmation email you received when the appointment was first made.  There are 2 buttons in that message for "Cancel" and "Reschedule".  Click the one you want and you will automatically be taken to the online reservation system to easily make changes.  Or, choose to log into the appointment system with your Google account or Facebook and you can view your list of reserved dates within your private online account.

 

Why can't I see trainer availability past a certain date?

Trainers only list their openings for 4 weeks in advance so if you are looking for a certain date that is further than 1 month in the future it the system will not yet give you access to book it.

 

How late can I cancel or book an appointment?

The online appointment system has a 24 hour block for making changes to the trainer/player's schedule.  If you need to cancel with less than 24 hour's notice you need to contact your trainer directly.  These late cancellations will not receive a refund for the $5 appointment fee paid online.  If you prepaid the trainer for a session that is being canceled late you ask him/her about their specific policy.  A new $5 appointment fee must be paid at the time of the new/make-up training session being booked.
