Players use Lynx to find and connect with verified trainers. Players may submit training requests, browse trainer profiles, communicate with matched trainers, and book training sessions. Players agree to communicate respectfully, attend scheduled sessions, and provide honest reviews.

Trainers

Trainers apply to join Lynx and undergo a manual verification process. Approved trainers may receive connection requests, communicate with matched players, propose and manage sessions, and build their coaching profile. Trainers agree to maintain accurate credentials, provide professional service, respond to communications in a timely manner, and report any safety concerns.

Parents & Guardians

Parents/guardians of players under 18 must provide their email address during the training request process. They are responsible for supervising their child's use of the platform and approving training arrangements.

5. Trainer Verification

All trainers on Lynx are manually reviewed and verified by our team before they can appear on the platform or interact with players. Verification may include review of coaching credentials, certifications, experience, and references. Lynx reserves the right to approve, reject, or revoke trainer access at any time. Verification does not constitute an endorsement or guarantee of any trainer's abilities, qualifications, or character.

Messaging is only available between matched users, so unsolicited contact is not possible
All messages are subject to automated content moderation for safety
