Don’t take our word for it. Take theirs

Amazing membership management software

Coacha is an amazing product and we would be struggling without it. All our member records are now updated and we are now able to email certain membership groups within the club. The amount of time we are saving on administration is huge. The app on the phone is brilliant as the Coaches now use this for the register and we are able to check membership status on mobile devices/iPad at any time. There is no need to chase for payments as Coacha does it all.

Get paid on time, every time

Getting paid for your hard work has never been simpler. Take rolling subscriptions / membership fees as well as one-off payments, for things like uniforms and competitions. Coacha’s payment partners Stripe & GoCardless are the cheapest in the market.

Child protection built-in as standard

We believe that software should help to protect children from unwanted messaging. We have built-in automatic features that include copying NOKs or parents in on messages, plus much more.

Embed Coacha on websites

With a simple bit of code you can display info from Coacha on your own website. All it takes is an iFrame and you’re good to go. Let members and non-members alike see sessions and events, and book directly from your own website.

No website? No worries! 

With Coacha, we can host your Public Pages for you. No extra cost, no hidden surprises, just completely free webpages. Get your classes, sessions, events, courses, membership sign up, and more, all on the web – no web programming necessary!

Availability & selection

Check people's availability by inviting the members you want and watch their responses come in. Coacha will then notify the people you select so you'll always have a full team, squad or event.

Like what you see so far?

Then why not save time, stress and money, as well as simplify your admin at the same time?

We don't charge you more if you grow!

If your club expands, some organisations will charge you more in subscription fees. At Coacha, the no.1 Karate club software, we don't believe you should pay more for putting in the work and growing your club. So, whether you've just recently started off with 20 people, or are an established club with 100+, you will always pay one very reasonable, fixed price. 

No fixed term contracts - cancel any time

While we're confident you'll love Coacha as much as we do, it's good to know you can cancel at any time. You pay us on a monthly basis – just like with Netflix. And, just like with Netflix, you're free to cancel your subscription with us at any time.

Plus, the ability to send invoices, personalise system emails, turn features on and off and have your own dedicated Account Manager. 

" Streamlined and efficient . " 

Where to start? First of all, the ease of use and simplicity of this software means even the non-computer savvy user can easily work this software. The sign-up form contains all of the questions you need, and you can add more. The payment system was setup with ease … a timesaver for the clubs treasurer. All of my coaches have access to the details they need, and nothing more which keeps it even simpler for them. If you have a club that has membership fees and want to jump into the 21st century, then Coacha is exactly what you need.

Mark Jackson – review on Capterra & Coacha subscriber

Designed to make your life as a Karate coach easier ...

With years of coaching experience, our co-founders understand what it takes to manage parents, classes and money. That's what has enabled us to create Coacha; Karate studio software designed to help you focus on the things you love - teaching and training. With a simple but powerful interface that cuts admin time in half, keeps all of your students' details to hand no matter where you are, and is proven to minimise missed payments, Coacha is the perfect solution for streamlining your day-to-day Karate school management.

Comparing Coacha with other software and apps?

A few things to remember…

Firstly, we don't charge by the member, as that gets costly for you. Also, we never show adverts to your members. And we don't charge for updates and new features, nor the use of our iOS & Android Apps. Above all though, we don't draw you in with claims of 'FREE to use' then pile on extra charges later for unlocking functionality that should be included in the first place.
Few providers can make all of these claims. But we can.

Got a few minutes to check out our  Coacha Demo Video?

Our boffins have produced a demo video which helps with about 80% of people’s commonly asked questions. It starts with the ‘Dashboard’ top left in Coacha then takes you through all of the sections. Watch the whole thing or just skip to any relevant bit you want to explore.


Sell Products Online with 'Custom Store'*

Keep everything under one roof and save money on expensive online store and eCommerce transaction fees.  No cross referencing different software. No inconvenient multiple logins for your members and parents. Quickly see whose ordered what, and when, and how much they’ve spent.

Coacha is renowned for being intuitive and easy to use and our team of designers, developers and UI experts have made it almost child’s play to use the Store feature.

Karate Club Management Software FAQs

What are the limits with Coacha's karate studio software?

There really are no limits. You have unlimited everything with Coacha. Members, coaches, classes and sessions, registers, subscription plans, email…the full works!

The only thing you pay extra for are text messages. And these are as low as anyone else in the market at 4.5p per text message.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Is karate school software easy for members & parents to use?

If you want members and parents to login to Coacha, then yes, your own bespoke ‘Member’s Portal’ is very easy to use. It has been painstakingly designed to be really easy to use, so there’s no excuse for people not to login!

Great for them, time saving for you, and having karate club software with your own logo on it really makes your karate club look professional and well organised.

What’s more, members get to see all the personal info you have on them and they can update and/or download it if they want (great for your club’s GDPR compliance!)

There are also FREE Andriod and iOS apps available for everyone to use too. What’s not to like?

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I use karate software, will it help with my accounts?

Absolutely, as it keeps everything digital and streamlined. You can see whose has paid you what, when and how. Plus, you can keep a very close eye on how much money your karate club is taking. And if it is losing anything from your people not paying you.

What’s more, accountants love karate studio software that they can download from and integrate your karate club financials to the software that they use. Software like Xero, Quickbooks or Sage to name but a few all help with making tax digital (MTD)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do I need a card reader to take payments if I use karate school software?

No, you don’t.

Do away with the expense and hassle of terminals and readers. You can take card payments through Stripe and direct debits through GoCardless.

Need a member to pay for a T-shirt or kit? You can send them a one-off payment request by email or take a payment right there in front of them using the Coacha interface.

Not having a card reader not only reduces your costs but simplifies your online billing processes straight away. It also makes your karate club look professional and well organised.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What happens if payments fail?

Let’s face it, payments do sometimes fail and for various reasons. Only the best karate management software has a payment retry process, especially one that retries up to four times.

Whether a bank error, a cancelled payment or just insufficient funds, having a robust subscription management system means you can simply ‘set and forget’ freeing you to get on with tasks that are more enjoyable than admin!

You can choose to be notified that a payment has failed and is being retried, or just set Coacha so that you’re notified when the last attempt has failed. Just think of the amount of time this will save you with chasing people for money they owe you…

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does karate studio software help me if I have an emergency?

When looking for the best karate software or a karate studio app, choose something where you will always have Emergency Information to hand. It is essential you make sure you have emergency contact info available, as well as medical notes for all of your members.

Also, make sure that whatever karate software program you go for it has the ability to work ‘offline’ for when you don’t have mobile internet access or a decent wifi signal. Coacha’s apps are designed to work without internet access and will automatically synch with Coacha the minute you get internet access again. Great for out in the middle of a field, or indoors in a gym with thick concrete walls and zero reception.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What stats and figures can I get from karate club software?

Performance, attendance, and financial data are crucial for any karate club that wants to stay at the top of their game. A karate management app should show you instantly your member attendance levels and who’s been putting the work in, and equally as much, who hasn’t.

It should also give you easy access to your headline financial info whether for the last week, month or whole year. Quick access like this means quick decisions can be made and you’ll always be in control of the money in your club.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With accounting software for karate clubs I’m told I still need to comply with GDPR – will it help?

Any organisation that collects personal data must comply with GDPR legislation, and that includes sports clubs. The very fact that you choose to use karate studio software (free download here ) itself will show that you have data protection built into the running of your club.

A bespoke ‘Member Portal’ such as those you get free with Coacha enable people to access the personal data you hold on them. Karate school software with this functionality will also give your users the ability to edit and download their data if they want to. This type of advanced functionality really is the gold standard of GDPR compliance.

Want to really get to grips with GDPR, why it’s important and what you should be doing to keep your club compliant? If you do then download our FREE GDPR in sports guide which not only explains GDPR but also gives you practical tips you can implement immediately.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I get free attendance registers too?

Any karate club software that’s worth considering simply must have automatically generated attendance registers. Having these automatically produced for you saves both time and hassle with your karate club’s admin. They should be 100% free too and not an add on or upgrade feature.

You should be able to quickly add members in, set up your classes and hey presto, your registers are automatically created. When you, your coaches or your members log in, they get to see what's on straight away. This is essential in any karate software or karate club management apps.

Coacha’s advanced attendance register features mean that you can enable classes or sessions that people can book straight on to without coming to you first. On the day of the class itself they can also check themselves again without tying up any of your staff’s time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can people book on to classes themselves?

Not all karate club software (UK or overseas) allows members to book on to classes directly themselves. However, by enabling ‘make class bookable’ in Coacha you can reduce your time on admin and speed up the way in which your members can register for classes.

Great if you run open classes that people can book onto if they want to attend, and with setting a class size you can ensure that your classes are never over-subscribed. Your members can simply log into your Member Portal and book up in just a few taps or clicks.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only operate during term time – does this matter?

Many karate clubs have term time/seasonal classes. The best karate software should give you the ability to have start and end dates for your classes as opposed to just weekly or monthly options.

With unlimited classes and registers, Coacha is perfect for setting start / end periods to whatever you want. Great for school term-based classes as well as events such as one off competitions, or showcases or exhibitions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I get people turn up unexpectedly to my classes – how can I add these people?

It happens. People turn up unexpectedly to a class or event and you know that you need to collect some of their personal details just so they can join in. Some karate studio software doesn’t cater for this in a way that is quick and easy to sort out on the day.

With Coacha’s karate school oftware (free for 14 days), you can avoid delays when extra people turn up unexpectedly. Quickly add them to the attendance register without having to mess around with the app settings or add a full new member. Then, after the class, you can go back and add more of their details in when you have more time.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Does karate club software (free or paid for) help with safeguarding children?

When performing a karate software comparison make sure that whatever you choose helps with safeguarding children. Make sure you are able to segment the children’s information so that only specific staff are able to see their personal information.

Coacha lets you set different levels of access as you don’t want people seeing the wrong data. The messaging centre also has NPSCC CPSU text and email rules built in so that people are unable to contact children directly without other’s being copied in. This can include other members, staff, parents and even your safeguarding officer.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Can I send text messages to people using karate studio software?

Check out independent karate club software reviews and always make sure that any software or app that you use only partners with industry leading SMS specialists. Coacha partners with the best SMS service in the UK - TextLocal. You'll enjoy amazing rates, quick delivery and accurate reporting. No need to use your mobile text allowance again!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I only want to message specific people. Can I do this with karate school software?

Being able to select and control who receives your messages is very important. You really don’t want to bombard people with messages not relevant to them.

Coacha enables you to customise who you send your messages to with ease. Send to just your coaches, members of a certain class, to a specific group, or to everyone ... you're in total control.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Coacha is a must for our gym. Very pleased. Recommend Coacha to all gym owners. Easy to use and navigate. Manages all our CRM needs. Great team ready and willing to support.

Jon Owner Head Coach in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic software for all your administrative needs. The fact that all admin tasks are on one platform - previously we had accounting software, invoicing applications, google documents for storing athlete information and registers. Coacha allows you to fulfil all of your usual administrative tasks in one place and allows athletes/parents to view the information as easily as staff.

Alex Program Director in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

I wouldn’t use anything else you can use every feature on it & it’s so easy to work. If it wasn’t for this App, I would be doing hours & hours of admin. So, I’m thankful to have found this app!

Hannah Dance teacher in UK - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Fantastic Software for Dance Schools! Monthly subscriptions have been a game changer for our business, far less admin time required compared to previous system and the reports have been really useful. Looking forward to working with the system further to develop our dance school!

Arlene Studio Owner & Administrator in UK Health, Wellness & Fitness - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Excellent, affordable, clean. Coacha is very user-friendly, clean and professional with good customisation options. I don't think there's much that can be improved.

Ashton Director in UK Performing Arts - review on Capterra and a Coacha subscriber

Great support and easy to use system. Very happy so far. Has made administration so much easier than with our previous system (and something that I look forward to rather than dread!). The overall feel of the system is very 'clean', easy to sign onto, navigate and use
