Sports instructors: multi-sport classes by age group

How sports instructors can run multi-sport classes by age group with online booking: one service per age, places per class, term blocks and parents booking.

5 min read

Multi-sport classes let children try a bit of everything, but a four-year-old and a ten-year-old can't share the same session. Parents want to see which class suits their child and book a place without calling. With Book, each age group is a service with its own places, parents book on your own booking page, and a full class leaves your page.

One service per age group

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations, places and prices are examples: set places to staff and space, according to the rules that apply to you.

Term blocks

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Run classes in terms, such as ten Wednesdays, and leave out school holidays. Parents book each session, or you book the whole term for a child from your bookings list; with the parent's email, they get a confirmation with a calendar file for each session.

Parents booking

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email. A parent books in their own name with the child's first name and age in the note. Each online booking takes one place, so siblings mean separate bookings. Ask parents to tell you about allergies or health needs directly rather than in the note, which appears in their calendar file.

What the description should say

  • the age range and what sports the term covers;
  • what to wear and bring, such as trainers and water;
  • drop-off and pick-up arrangements;
  • what happens in bad weather, if any activities are outdoors.

Holiday camps

For school holidays, create a sports day service with full-day slots for those dates. A slot can last most of a day, as long as it sits within one day; for a week-long camp, parents book each day, or you book the whole week from your list.

Changes

Parents can't move or cancel online: they contact you. If you cancel a session, tell each family yourself, since Book doesn't email clients about changes.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't take payments, sell term passes, collect consent forms or send reminders. One booking page per business, no staff field: with other instructors, create classes per instructor. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.
