Best Management Software for High-Volume Gymnastics Clubs
Managing competitive squads alongside recreational streams requires powerful tools. Learn how to handle variable training hours, meet fees, and skill progression.
The "Squad vs. Rec" Dilemma
Large clubs are really two businesses in one: a high-volume recreational program (standard tuition) and a high-touch competitive squad (variable hours, meet fees, Federation dues).
- Billing Complexity: Squad kids might train 12 hours one week and 15 the next. Standard "per month" billing doesn't always fit.
- Meet Fees: You need to collect entry fees for competitions weeks in advance, separate from tuition.
- Skill Tracking: Recreation needs "Certificates," while Squads need detailed "Apparatus Tracking" (Bars, Beam, Floor).
