Turn informal instruction into regulated revenue.

With Rec, cities can license independent instructors already operating in public spaces, converting them into vetted, background-checked contractors. You set the policies of when and where instructors can book, we handle the rest—ensuring compliance, safety, and a rev-share of every lesson booked.

We manage payments

—automatically

No more spreadsheets or side agreements. Rec collects payments for lessons, pays the instructor, and deposits your city’s cut. Our integrated payment system removes friction and brings in reliable revenue with zero admin lift.

Onboard in minutes,
not months

From recruiting to scheduling, everything is built-in. Rec streamlines instructor onboarding, including background checks, waivers, and insurance. Instructors manage schedules, pricing, and availability while your team retains control and visibility.

Our vision for Rec's Instructor Network

Cities deserve modern tools that don’t just reduce effort but also unlock new opportunities. At Rec, we believe instructor-led programs can be a safe and powerful force for community engagement and financial growth. That’s why we built a system that makes it easy to say “yes” to more lessons, more coaches, and more value.

Modern recreation starts with better instruction—and we’re making it effortless to scale.

FAQs

How do residents book Instructor Network lessons?

Residents can simply use their existing Rec account! Rec enables residents and licensed pros to connect directly through our platform to schedule and book lessons without needing your staff to spend time facilitating the booking.

How does Rec match instructors and customers to available facilities?

You have the ability to set the exact days and times when instructors are allowed to self book lessons. No need to worry about double-bookings -- Rec operates off of one unified calendar. Any blocks put on the calendar for special permits or events will show up as unavailable.

Where should we get started?

We recommend starting with activities for which you have plenty of available facility time, and that are popular for private lessons, like golf, tennis, pickleball, music, and personal training.
