How to Sign Up and Book on FieldPicker

Create a free account and book your first facility in under three minutes. No phone calls, no waiting for callbacks.

Quick take

Go to [fieldpicker.com/browse](/browse), find a facility, pick a time slot, and pay. That's it. The whole thing takes less time than leaving a voicemail.

Step 1: Create Your Free Account

Head to fieldpicker.com/signup/coach and sign up with your email or Google account. You'll need your name and a password — nothing else. No credit card required to create an account.

You're verified instantly. No approval process, no waiting period.

Step 2: Search for Facilities

Open the facility search and filter by:

  • Sport — soccer, basketball, baseball, volleyball, pickleball, padel, and more
  • Location — search by city, zip code, or use your current location
  • Date and time — only facilities with open slots for your window show up
  • Indoor/outdoor — filter based on weather or preference

Every result shows photos, amenities, pricing, and ratings so you can compare without clicking into each one.

Step 3: Review the Facility

Click any facility to see the full listing:

  • Photos of the field, court, or space
  • Amenities — parking, restrooms, lighting, scoreboard, water access
  • Pricing — hourly rate displayed upfront, no hidden fees
  • Ratings and reviews from other coaches
  • Available time slots for your selected date

This is where you skip the phone tag. Everything a facility would tell you on a 10-minute call is right here on one screen.

Step 4: Pick a Time Slot and Book

Select the time slot you want. The calendar shows real-time availability — if it's showing open, it's actually open. No more "let me check and get back to you."

Confirm your booking and pay the facility's rate through secure checkout. You'll get an instant confirmation email with the address, date, time, and any check-in instructions.

Step 5: Show Up and Play

That's the entire process. You booked a field faster than you could've played phone tag with one facility.

Your booking, payment receipt, and facility contact info all live in your dashboard. If anything changes, you handle it from there.

What If the Facility Cancels?

If a facility cancels your booking, FieldPicker automatically issues a make-up credit to your account. No arguing, no negotiating. The credit applies to future bookings — you don't lose money because someone else dropped the ball.

Why Coaches Prefer This to Phone Booking

If you're still booking the old way, you're losing hours every season to logistics that should take minutes.
