4-Week Training Cohorts · Surfaced by Link & Dink
4 weeks. 4 players. One tournament.

Saturdays at Walter Johnson HS · Sundays at Gaithersburg HS · Cap 4 per cohort
Why it works
The committed-group unlock.
Drop-in lessons are great for showing up. Cohorts are great for actually improving — because you train with the same players every week.
Same 4 players, 4 weeks
Real chemistry, real reps. No drop-in shuffle, no waiting your turn. Everyone gets coached every session.
Recorded sessions
Audio, photo, and video captured every session. Used for between-week coaching review, social-media instructional clips, and Coach Up training. Youth footage never publicly tagged with names.
Ends at a real tournament
Week 4 pairs you with a cohort partner and enters you into the next local tournament from the L&D tournament radar. Cohort training, real-game finish.
Level + age grouped
We sort cohorts so you train with players at your level. Youth and adult cohorts run separately. Mixed-gender by default; gendered cohorts once volume allows.
Pricing
One price. One commitment.

FAQ
Common questions.
Who is this for?+
Players who want to commit to real improvement and have a tournament to point at. Strong fit for intermediate players climbing toward 3.5-4.0, and youth players ready for their first competitive event.
What's the schedule?+
New cohorts start on the first Saturday (Walter Johnson HS, Bethesda, 6:30-7:30 PM) and first Sunday (Gaithersburg HS, 6:30-7:30 PM) of each month, right after Coach Sam's drop-in sessions. Cohorts run 4 consecutive weekends from start. Email for the next start date.
What if I miss a session?+
Cohorts run on a fixed calendar — there are no make-ups. Plan to be at all 4 sessions. If Coach Sam cancels a session (weather, conflict), you get a make-up or a prorated refund.
Refunds?+
Full refund anytime before week 1 starts. After week 1 begins, no refunds — the cohort is built around your 4-player roster and we can't replace mid-stream.
Is the tournament entry included?+
Yes. The $160 covers $120 of training (4 sessions × $30) plus $40 toward the cohort-ending tournament entry — one charge at signup. Coach Sam picks the tournament based on your cohort's level and age band, and pairs you with a partner from the cohort.
What if the tournament gets cancelled?+
Coach Sam picks a substitute local tournament within 30 days of your cohort end date. No refund is issued if a substitute is offered. (Rainouts and last-minute organizer cancellations happen — we plan for them.)
I already train with another coach — can I join?+
Please check with your current coach first. We focus on community cohorts and don't want to step on existing coaching relationships.
What's recorded — and is it safe for my kid?+
Every cohort session is recorded with audio, photos, and video. Footage is used for instructional clips, marketing on Instagram/TikTok/YouTube, and Coach Up training. For minors specifically: footage is never sold to third parties, and faces of minors are never publicly tagged or captioned with first or last names on social media. Full media-release language is on the signup form before payment.
Train with intention. Compete with a plan.
4 spots per cohort. New cohorts launch monthly through August. Reserve before the roster closes.
