Step 03

Train & Improve

Show up, work hard, and let the coach do their thing. Small groups mean more reps, real competition, and direct feedback — every session. Track your progress and book your next one in the same place.

Training formats

Choose the format that fits your athlete's goals and schedule.

Small Group Sessions

2–6 players with one coach. Real competition, more reps, fraction of the private price. The most popular format on Grupup.

Training Plans

Book a multi-week plan upfront — pay once, attend every session. Coaches offer a discount, players get consistency.

Clinics

Larger group sessions (7–20 players) focused on one skill or topic. Great for introducing new players to a training environment.

What players & parents say

"After the first session my son's confidence on the ball completely changed. The small group format meant the coach could actually watch him and give real feedback — not just shout drills."

"I was paying $90/hr for private training. Group sessions on Grupup cost me $25 and honestly the level of training is just as good — maybe better because there's actual competition."
