GlobiSport is one app for South African athletes, coaches, sports professionals, institutions, parents and supporters: a verified profile and card, the GS Score and GS Combine, coach bookings, opportunities, events and a community feed.
Is GlobiSport free to use?
Creating a profile, joining the community, browsing opportunities and events, and taking the GS Score assessment are all free. Coaches and professionals who offer sessions set their own prices, and you pay only when you book a session.
Payments aren't live yet. Bookings made during early access are test bookings and no money is charged.
Is GlobiSport available outside South Africa?
GlobiSport is built for South African sport. Identity checks use South African ID documents and bookings are priced in Rands.
Athletes
How does the GS Score work?
You answer 16 questions across four pillars: Physical Baseline, Tactical IQ, Mental Grit and Professional CV. Each pillar is scored out of 100. Together they make your GS Score. Your score out of 100 places you in a tier, from Emerging Talent to Release Candidate, and ranks you on the Leaderboard by sport, age group and level.
What is the GS Combine?
Six physical tests: 40m sprint, vertical jump, broad jump, 10m agility, push-ups and the beep test. You log your results in the app and each one is rated Elite, Competitive, Average or Developing against benchmarks for your age group and gender. Each result shows its source (self reported, video linked or coach verified), and the Leaderboard ranks every test.
How do I book a session with a coach?
Find a coach in Discover (Recommended, Near Me, High Trust or My Network), open their profile, choose a service (1-on-1, group, online consultation, development pathway or video analysis), pick a time from their real availability and answer their intake questions. Once the coach confirms, you pay in Rands through PayFast. Bookings for under-18s wait for a guardian’s approval.
Payments aren't live yet. Bookings made during early access are test bookings and no money is charged.
What if I need to cancel?
Each service shows its free-cancellation window, 24 or 48 hours before the session, before you pay. Cancel before the window and you get a full refund; cancel inside it and you get 50% back. If the coach declines, cancels or doesn't show up, or a payment goes wrong on our side, you get a full refund. If weather, a venue closure or a safety concern stops a session, the coach offers a new time or a full refund. Arriving more than 15 minutes late without telling the coach counts as a no-show, and there's no refund for it. Report a no-show within 48 hours of the start time. Refunds go back to whoever paid, normally the parent or guardian for under-18s, through PayFast.

Coaches & Professionals
What's the difference between a Coach and a Professional account?
Choose Coach if coaching sessions is what you do: your profile is built around your coaching speciality, the levels and age groups you coach, and the services athletes book. Choose Sports Professional if you work around athletes: agents, scouts, administrators, team managers, physios, biokineticists, psychologists, nutritionists, analysts, lawyers, marketing and sports media. Both get a verified profile and card, messaging, and the same booking tools if you offer sessions.
What does it cost coaches and professionals to list services?
Listing services is free. When payments go live, a platform fee applies to each paid booking (15% as standard, lower for founding members) and payouts go to your bank account after the session.
Payments aren't live yet. Bookings made during early access are test bookings and no money is charged.
Do I need to be verified to list services?
You can list services before you verify, but your profile shows a “Not yet verified” badge and stays out of Discover until you pass Level 1 (ID verified).
Institutions & Clubs
What can a school or club do on GlobiSport?
Institutions get a profile and card with their logo, levels and age groups; an athlete roster and staff links; opportunities with their own application form; events and groups; and an Institution Score on the Leaderboard. Accreditation runs from Registered Institution to Accredited to Federation Verified.
Supporters
What can supporters do?
Follow the athletes, coaches and clubs you care about, post and join groups, RSVP to events, vote for Moment of the Month and back a Cause of the Month. Supporters also get a card with up to 8 teams on it.
Parents & Guardians
How do minors use the platform?
Under-18 athletes are linked to a parent or guardian, appear by first name and initial only, and are hidden from public discovery by default. Under-18s can’t message or connect with adults until a guardian links. Guardians approve bookings and can see their child’s messages. Guardians approve new contacts: the first message from a new coach, professional or club waits for their OK. You must be 13 or older to join. A guardian can also verify their child’s identity with a Home Affairs ID match, with no biometric scan. GlobiSport is designed around POPIA.
How does a guardian account link to my child's profile?
Tap Parent / Guardian Account on the app’s welcome screen (guardians must be 18 or older) and add your child’s GlobiSport email to send a link request, or your child can invite you from their own profile. Once the link is accepted, your child shows on your home as a linked ward. Add brothers and sisters the same way.
What can a guardian actually see and approve?
Your home shows each linked child with their GS Score, and one approvals list for their booking requests and opportunity applications. You can see their messages and their sessions, and decide whether their profile link can be shared.
Trust & Account
How does verification work?
There are three levels. Level 1 (ID verified) checks your South African ID and a live selfie, usually in minutes, and unlocks messaging. Coaches and professionals appear in Discover from Level 1. Level 2 (Gold Tick) is a credential check by our team and takes a few business days. Level 3 confirms a link to a verified institution. Institutions have their own accreditation levels.
What if I see inappropriate content?
You can report posts, comments and profiles from the app, and block anyone.
How do I delete my account?
In the app, go to Me → Settings → Delete Account. This permanently deletes your profile, content and login. You can also email info@globisport.com from your registered address and we'll delete it within 21 days.
