Frequently asked questions about courses and activities

• What are the most requested sports lessons and sports activities?
  Home coaching activities are in high demand. A sports coach often offers fitness programs adapted to each profile (overweight person, rehabilitation after a trauma, fight against a sedentary lifestyle).
  
  The development of telework in cities has greatly favored this sporting practice and it is much easier to respect a fitness program when a coach is there to motivate you, help you respect a rhythm of practice and make you reach your goals. Goals.
  
  Sports lessons on activities requiring the learning of techniques are also in high demand. This is the case for tennis lessons, golf lessons or dance lessons, for example, for which it is difficult to progress alone without the assistance of someone who has reached a very high level. We often find former champions in the announcements of these sports courses.
  
  Finally, seniors particularly appreciate more intellectual sports lessons such as chess lessons, bridge lessons, tarot lessons and other board games for which competitions are often organised. The challenge, for these types of sports, is rather to succeed in raising one's personal level thanks to intellectual gymnastics practiced regularly.
• What skills are needed to offer sports activities?
  In addition to having a diploma or a recognized level of qualification in your sporting field, it is necessary to have certain specific qualities to become a sports coach or to offer sports lessons to individuals.
  
  If you plan to offer judo lessons, karate lessons or English boxing lessons, for example, you will need to know the basics of sports training and know how to put yourself at the level of your students.
  
  It is not enough to be good in your sport to know how to manage the pedagogy necessary for teaching your art. In the event of an incident, you must be able to react to help the participants and therefore also have some knowledge of first aid.
  
  If you want to be a sports coach, you will need to know the anatomy of the human body, have good knowledge of nutrition, know how to motivate a tired practitioner and be in perfect physical shape yourself.
  
  For more playful sports activities such as chess lessons, bridge lessons or darts lessons, you will need to have acquired all the game techniques practiced during competitions and know how to pass them on patiently to your students if they wish to register for tournaments or even simply improve their personal level.
  
  Finally, don't forget that if you want to be paid for these courses, you will need to be registered with the tax service of France or Belgium, depending on where you live and where you practice.
• Who can offer sports lessons to individuals?
  A diploma is not necessarily compulsory to offer your services as a sports coach, for example, but if you have obtained a Professional Certificate or a DEUST in fitness professions, you will be more in demand for requests in sports classes.
  
  In France, a yoga teacher does not need a diploma either to have the right to teach this discipline, but there is a teacher training called YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) which allows you to prove your skills.
  
  If you want to practice a sport at home, for example to take combat sports lessons, check the level reached by your sports coach during his career. The majority of combat sports include a hierarchy of their practitioners (for example the black belt in judo).
  
  If you think you can offer your services to give sports lessons, be aware that registration on Askaide is completely free. We simply check the information you provide on your profile sheet and the comments left by the people who have benefited from your services.
  
  In this section entitled "sports lessons and sports activities", you can also offer the rental of your sports equipment. This is an activity that is developing, for example, for weight training or fitness equipment that remains unused by its owners.
• What other sports activities can you do?
  Depending on the region in which you live, you will find on Askaide other types of advertisements on sports lessons. If you live in the mountains, for example, you will be more interested in ski lessons, snowboard lessons, paragliding lessons or snowshoe lessons.
  
  For those who live by the sea, surfing lessons, sailing lessons or boat piloting lessons can be offered to you.
  
  Our Askaide platform is intended to be open to all types of sports or physical activities. Our search engine lists almost all the existing sports (jet ski lessons, ULM lessons, Beach soccer lessons, Futsal lessons...) but if you want to add one, do not hesitate to contact us.
  
  Many of these sports are practiced in teams and Askaide can be an ideal tool to find new practitioners in order to organize, for example, a football match between individuals or to bring together enough practitioners to rent a boat. Don't hesitate to post an ad to this effect: it's completely free.
