One flat price per academy. Every student on your roster gets everything.
The first five academies pay $39/mo, locked for as long as they stay — in exchange for a testimonial after a month. Ask me for the code.

The details
🗝 You hold the keys
Every registration waits for your approval before it can play. Beyond that, every lesson, variant and game mode can require your sign-off individually — good for pacing a curriculum — or flip auto-approve for trusted players and let them roam.
💬 Coach notes, safe replies
Drop a note straight onto a student's live game — "watch your back rank!" Students reply only from preset messages like "I see it now!" or "Help, please?" There is no open chat anywhere. Nothing to moderate.
🛡 Fair-play monitor
Live games quietly track engine-match rates, uniform move timing and tab-switching. Anything that looks outside-assisted gets a review flag in your Coach's Room — you see it, students don't.
👑 Co-admins and champions
Crown an assistant trainer with full day-to-day powers: approving players, granting activities, fielding challenges. They can hold the Coach title behind the "Challenge the Coach" button — and only you control who wears a crown.
🔒 Is student data safe?
Your academy runs on its own separate database — no other club can see it, and neither can the public site. You are the admin. Students can't be found, messaged or added by anyone outside your roster.
💳 What do my students pay?
Nothing. Ever. The rental covers every student on your roster with the full Pro experience — all lessons, all variants, unlimited analysis, no ads and no upgrade prompts. Your students never see a price.
