Gymnastics, where the class size is a safety limit

Skill levels, recorded when they change

Progression is by level, and the level decides which class an athlete belongs in — so it is not a label, it is the thing your timetable is built from. Levels are held with the date achieved, which means a mid-term move is a record rather than a note, and the class list stays true to who is actually in the room.

Squad costs nothing like recreational

A recreational gymnast is a monthly membership. A competitive one carries meet entries, coaching levies, travel and leotards, on the meet calendar rather than yours. Held as separate programmes, each has its own rate and its own one-off charges — so the real cost of running the squad is visible instead of quietly absorbed into recreational revenue.

Caps are not a preference

Class size is bounded by supervision ratio, not by room. A class list that can be checked against its cap before a family is enrolled prevents the conversation where someone is told there is space and there is not. Waiting lists sit against the class rather than in a notebook.

Questions we get asked

Can classes have a hard capacity?

Yes, with a waiting list attached to the class itself, so the next family in line is a record rather than someone's memory.

Can one athlete be in recreational and squad?

One athlete record, two enrolments, each with its own rate and register.
