Who pays
Every athlete on your roster has a Saturday subscription, and for every athlete it’s always clear who’s paying for it. You set all of this from your billing page. There’s no ambiguity, no double-charging, and no athlete ever gets billed for something you’re covering. Two questions decide the picture, and they’re independent of each other:- Who pays for the athlete’s Saturday subscription? (you, them, or your organization)
- Is the athlete linked to you? (on your roster or not)
The payment modes
Choose and review each athlete’s mode from your billing page.| Mode | Who pays the athlete’s Saturday sub | When it applies |
|---|---|---|
| Athlete self-pays | The athlete | Default. They have (or get) their own subscription. |
| Coach-paid athlete | You | You choose to cover them — see Coach-paid athletes. |
| Tier-bundled | Your plan | Athletes within your plan’s included seats are covered for $0. |
| Org-paid | Your organization | A Business/Enterprise org covers a linked athlete’s sub. |
Mixed billing is normal. On the same roster, some athletes can be coach-paid while others self-pay. You decide per athlete — there’s no all-or-nothing.
Included seats come first
Your plan includes a number of athlete seats (Free: 1 · Pro Coach: 2 · Head Coach: 5 · Business: fair-use). Athletes who fit within your included seats are covered free by your plan price — they pay $0, and so do you beyond your monthly plan fee. Beyond your included seats, you choose per athlete from your billing page: cover them (they become a coach-paid athlete) or let them self-pay.Your own subscription
If you’re on a paid plan, your plan covers your own athlete subscription too — you never pay twice. (On the Free plan, you self-pay your own subscription like any athlete; “yourself” isn’t a free roster seat.) Review or change your plan from your billing page.What you’ll never see
- No penalties. Adding athletes beyond your included seats isn’t a penalty or a charge for going “over” — it’s simply “adding a coach-paid athlete,” priced clearly. See Coach-paid athletes.
- No double-charge. If you take over an athlete who was self-paying from your billing page, Saturday cancels their old payment before your coverage begins. See Take over & relinquish.
- No silent lapse. An athlete’s access never just disappears. Every change routes through a grace window and a clear notification.
