Clients send you footage from practice sessions or games. You use our best-in-class analysis tools to break down their technique and provide truly personal feedback.
This can include adding telestrated drawings, pro-player comparisons, voiceovered notations, or self-recorded video insights—even full technique demos—directly onto each client's returned footage.
In addition to everything your clients get with Analysis Only lessons, use our ready-made remote lesson builder to add drills chosen to be the most beneficial for their progress, example pictures and videos of pro players to illustrate and model specific points, and even assign homework for clients to complete between lessons.
Connect with clients on a high-quality video call that includes a lesson timer and our live snapshot sharing, which allows you to point out mistakes in real-time. And no more back and forth with parents negotiating their lesson day, time, or price.
Our automated system handles the client management (including sending pre-lesson reminders and matching your time zones), so you can focus on teaching the game.
Get connected with vetted local clients on autopilot. Our request informs you of their age, experience level, availability, and distance from your main training location. That way, you can decide if they're a good fit for you.
If it's a match, we send you the player's and parent's name, phone number, and email address, so you can reach out and schedule your first pre-paid lesson together.
POWERED BY AI
Offer your clients and fans cutting-edge technique analysis. Our AI works for hitters, pitchers, fielders, catchers, and base runners. And it's a game-changer for giving mobility assessments.
Focus 100% on your ballplayers' skeletal mechanics by blacking out their footage and any background distractions. And compare their posture and limb placement with pro examples in seconds.
No need for special cameras or attaching sensors. It works on any iPhone or iPad. Get unlimited insights into how your athletes move anywhere, anytime with our free app.
If you’ve dabbled in giving online, AKA remote, baseball or softball lessons, you’ve likely felt the massive time-sucker that is negotiating and scheduling Zoom, FaceTime, or Instagram Live chats with multiple parents.
Let alone the client management stress of keeping track of everyone's payments, personal details, progress, and the drills and skills that you have already introduced in previous sessions.
If not live-streaming lessons, the other remote coaching option did previously involve parents sharing their ballplayer’s footage.
You might advertise for this service on your website, but you, likely, negotiated how to do this footage analysis process via text, email, or through social media.
Then used a file-sharing software (DropBox, Google Drive, WeTransfer) to share the player’s footage – or, gasp, tried sending video files over email.
Then you likely used a swing or pitch analysis software to analyze the footage.
Then used another software to send the footage and your completed lesson package back, and then logged into a payment software (Venmo, CashApp, PayPal) to check on the lesson transaction.
This makes no sense. You should not need four different pieces of software to conduct a single hitting lesson.
Your in-person lessons came mostly from word-of-mouth. But you also advertised on social media and, possibly, on one of many coach listing sites.
Word-of-mouth is powerful, but if you’re early in your coaching career or looking to make a living with instruction, it’s often not enough.
If you have a large social media following, this can help attract new clients. But, if you don’t, you may have felt like you’re not growing your brand or revenue fast enough to thrive.
And, even if you’ve earned fans on social, you might’ve discovered that monetizing is a whole other ballgame.
This left those other coach listing services. Like SeamsUp, they use their own large-scale marketing efforts and software to connect you with local clients.
But these sites often work on a subscription model. Meaning they charge you monthly or annual fees to list your in-person lessons.
They collect your hard-earned cash on auto-pilot, whether or not they connect you with viable, long-term clients. Some even have the gall to demand shared profits from you on multiple lessons, on top of charging their subscription fees.
This is just crazy. Saying that there needs to be another way is like saying not to wrap your fingers around the bat’s barrel when you go to bunt – it should be obvious.
Explore how to overcome obstacles and reach your coaching goals.
SeamsUp operates a marketplace – through our website and iOS app – that lets players, parents, or fans book a personalized baseball or softball lesson from current and former pros, college coaches, and professional instructors of all types.
Players get unprecedented access, and instructors get the game’s first platform built to give, manage, and grow both online and in-person lessons while scaling their entire coaching business.
Our mission is to create the best lesson experiences in the world.
SeamsUp allows coaches to work with their clients however they see fit, from monthly recurring subscriptions to one-offs.
You can give baseball or softball instruction for hitting, pitching, catching, fielding, sports performance training, or recruiting advice.
And the four main lesson types that you can offer are:
Connect with clients on high-quality video calls. All pre-lesson scheduling and client communication is automated for you.
And with things like sending clients start-time reminders and matching up time zones completely handled, you can just show up and teach.
Clients send you footage from practice sessions or games. You use our best-in-class analysis tools to break down their technique and provide truly personal feedback.
This can include using AI-powered skeleton tracking, telestrated drawings, pro-player comparisons, voice-overed notations, or self-recorded video insights – even full technique demos – directly onto each client's returned footage.

Yes. We save catches for the ballfield.
The SeamsUp marketplace and all of the software and online lesson services it entails are 100% free to use for all coaches.
And whatever price you decide to charge for your amazing baseball or softball instruction goes directly into your bank account. The banks just charge a 3% processing fee, which you would encounter with any online payment provider, but we keep nothing.
We know your follow-up question is something along the lines of: How do you make any money?
For lesson clients who purchase instruction from our marketplace, we charge a 10% fee. This fee ensures that all lesson content and learnings remain cloud-stored forever in the client’s personal library.
This means that the knowledge you share as coaches can be referenced by your clients anytime to help accelerate their progress and prepare them for the big games that add up to a ballplayer’s career.
For Analysis and Full Remote Lessons, you may receive a wide variety of footage sent by players and parents.
They can film their hitter, pitcher, catcher, or fielder practicing at a ballfield, batting cage, during an in-person lesson with another coach, in their backyard, garage, or living room – they can film a SeamsUp lesson anywhere, anytime.
Pro Tip: After the very first lesson with a client, you as coaches can begin requesting certain types of footage that help you further assess the player and give additional feedback.
For example, you may want footage of the lesson client performing the recommended drill that you taught them in their last session.
Or, if you have been working with a client for a time and they have only sent over tee-work, you can request to see them hitting off of live in-game pitching or, at least, against regular BP.
Lastly, there are two possible camera angles that Clients will send you to analyze.
The first angle, filming from Side View, is mandatory for each lesson to be sent.
These videos will be taken by filming the open front of the hitter, pitcher, catcher, or fielder’s body as they execute their motions.
The second, filming from Back View, is optional but still recommended.
Filming from the back means doing so from safely behind a hitter, pitcher, catcher, or fielder – slightly angled to the athlete’s open side – so you can see a fuller picture of athlete and the ball’s trajectories.
Live Call Lessons will be similarly diverse, with different players having access to different locations (fields, batting cages, or backyards) and different equipment (balls, tees, pitching machines, or live pitchers).
Coaches can request your preferred live lesson setup for new clients with the customizable “Note to Clients” that goes out to all live lesson clients automatically before they start their real-time session.
There are no coaching contracts whatsoever and zero obligations. You work for yourself only.
We are just a platform filled with every free tool you could ever want to help your coaching business grow and scale.
The only equipment you need is an iPhone or an iPad device. SeamsUp lessons are not supported on Android devices – yet.
Our app works wherever you are – from your living room to a local park. Your expertise is all that matters.
But, once you create your coach account, there’ll be video tutorials and other resources with plenty of recommendations on how you can up the quality of your lessons and continue to grow your brand online.
