Maximizing Growth: Software Features To Enhance Your Sports Facility’s Group Lessons
Group lessons are an essential piece of many sports facilities, offering an engaging way to foster a strong sense of community. Also, they are highly profitable, allowing facilities to generate more income by accommodating multiple players in one session. However, managing these group sessions can be challenging without the right tools. The right scheduling software can streamline operations, enhance efficiency, and drive revenue growth. In this article, we will dive into the software features that can help your sports facility maximize its potential.
Scheduling Features For Group Lessons
Group lessons work well when you build groups with similar skill sets and age ranges. Adults and younger kids shouldn’t be put together. Also, do not put experienced players and beginners together. If everyone in your group matches, you can then focus on one area to work on without worrying about having to catch others up. With your scheduling software, you can add these requirements to your lesson title or description.
We recommend a limit of 6 registrants for a group lesson. With a smaller group, the instructor can spend more time with each person while still being within the group environment. Good software should be able to restrict clients from booking more than the set number of attendees for a lesson.
An important aspect to consider is that not all instructors will do well coaching group lessons. They may be great at private lessons but struggle with group lessons. In our software, you can choose which instructors offer which lessons. That way, an instructor cannot be booked for something that you do not want them booked for. Here’s a guide on how to evaluate trainers when you are hiring them for these services at your facility.
Pricing Features For Group Lessons
If you’re using scheduling software, it should not display to clients how many spots are left for a group lesson. Some clients may try and take advantage by only scheduling sessions with fewer or no spots filled. They then might end up with what is a private lesson but for a far cheaper price than what you offer them.
Another potential problem is if your session doesn’t fill up. For example, a session might sell for $25/person. If you plan for four people to show up, and only two attend, you will have lost money. The back-to-back availability feature that we have implemented into our app fixes this problem. The system makes it so a session must be filled up by clients before they can book sessions directly before or after.
Conclusion
Group lessons can be very beneficial to any sports facility, no matter what sport they offer. With these software features, you can maximize your profitability and enhance operational efficiency.
