About Verified Pro
Founded in 2022 and four seasons in, Verified Pro is a small team of athletes and travel planners in Durham, North Carolina. We built the booking experience we always wanted: clear prices, real humans, and a pro who actually shows up.
Every departure is a fixed itinerary with lodging, ground transport and daily coached sessions included. Mornings are for training, afternoons are for exploring, and groups stay between 8 and 16 guests so the coaching stays personal.
Every host passes identity, credential and background checks before leading a trip, and gets re-screened every season. The full three step process is explained in the next section.
Clubs, teams and friend groups book private departures built around their calendar. Tell us the sport and the budget, and we handle the rest, from flight advice to the final group dinner.

The Verified standard
Anyone can say pro. We check.
Every Verified Pro host passes a three step review before they lead a single trip. No badge, no departures. That is the whole idea behind the name.
-
01
Identity check
Government ID plus a live video check. We confirm the person leading your trip is exactly who they say they are.
-
02
Credential check
Pro tour results, national team records or recognized coaching certifications, verified against primary sources, not screenshots.
-
03
Background screening
An independent background screening, plus reference calls with former teams, clubs and camps.
Hosts are re-screened every season. The Verified badge on a trip card means all three checks are current right now.
Why we started Verified Pro
Founder note, March 2022
“
A pro who never showed.
A few years back I booked a surf camp that promised coaching from a touring pro. The pro never showed. Our coach turned out to be a friendly local with a board rack and no certifications. The trip was fun. It was not what I paid for.
Verified Pro exists so that never happens to you. Every host is identity-checked, credential-checked and background-screened before they lead a trip. If the badge is on the card, the person is real, the resume is real, and they will actually be there. That was the promise on day one, and it has not changed since.
I have spent years running sports travel and tournaments across the US and Mexico, from club weekends to building Cancun's first pro-level pickleball courts. Verified Pro is everything I learned about doing it right, in one booking experience.

Good questions
Frequently asked questions
The fine print, minus the fine print. Anything else, ask us in the itinerary form.
It means the person leading your trip passed all three of our checks: identity verification, a credential review of pro tour results or coaching certifications, and an independent background screening. Checks are renewed every season, and the badge on a trip card means they are current.
No. Most trips run two ability groups, and hosts coach to the room. If you can train for an hour a day, you can keep up on any trip except the marathon weekend, where we suggest arriving with a 10 mile long run.
Lodging, all coached sessions, ground transport, most breakfasts and group dinners, plus any listed gear rentals. Flights and travel insurance are not included. Every itinerary spells out exactly what is covered before you pay anything.
Send the itinerary form with the trip and dates you want. We reply within two business days with the full itinerary and a 72 hour spot hold. A 30 percent deposit confirms your place, and the balance is due 45 days before departure.
Cancel 60 or more days before departure for a full refund. Between 30 and 59 days, your payment becomes credit toward any future trip. Inside 30 days we cannot offer refunds, but you can transfer your spot to a friend at no charge.
Yes. Every trip on the calendar runs private departures for groups of 8 or more. Tell us your sport, dates and budget, and we will match you with a verified host and build a fixed itinerary around your crew.
