How We Verify Academies

When families search for coaching, basic details matter. A wrong phone number, unclear address or incomplete profile makes it harder to decide whether an academy is worth contacting. We review submitted listings for a basic level of clarity and consistency before publication.

Verification is only a starting point. Families should still call or visit, attend a trial where possible and ask their own questions. Coaching quality, safety, coach qualifications and the day-to-day experience cannot be judged from a directory listing alone.

Our Review Process

When an academy is submitted or updated, we check the details that are available to us. This may include:

• Academy identity — name, primary sports and basic description
• Location — city, locality and address consistency
• Contact information — phone numbers and any website or maps links provided
• Category and notes — coaching level or age-group information where supplied
• Images — relevance and basic quality of uploaded photos
• Completeness — whether enough information exists for a family to make an initial enquiry

We also look for obvious duplicates, non-sports listings and information that appears misleading. A submission may be held or rejected when it does not contain enough useful information.

What “Verified” Means

Verification means the basic profile has been reviewed for public display. It does not mean:

• We have visited every facility in person
• We endorse the academy as the best option in its city or sport
• We guarantee coaching quality, safety standards or results
• Fees, batch timings or programme details are permanently fixed

Think of verification as a useful starting signal, not a replacement for your own checks.

What Families Should Still Confirm

Before joining any academy, families should confirm the following points directly with the coaching centre:

• Current fees, payment terms and any refund policy
• Batch timings, age groups and skill-level placement
• Coach background and supervision arrangements
• Trial class availability and what the trial includes
• Facilities, equipment and safety practices
• Location access, parking or transport considerations
• Any medical, insurance or parental consent requirements

A visit and a straightforward conversation with the academy will usually tell you more than an online profile can.

Ongoing Updates and Corrections

Phone numbers, addresses, photos and programme notes can change. We accept correction requests and encourage academy owners to keep their profiles current.

Report a Correction

If you find incorrect information on a listing, email contact@onespotacademy.com with the academy name, the page URL, the incorrect detail and the correct information. We review these reports under our Corrections Policy and update public listings where appropriate.
