How a Sports Academy Runs on TuitionDesk — Batches, Turf Booking, Attendance & Fees, Visually

A real multi-sport academy setup: football, cricket, and swimming batches, turf and court booking that never double-books, geo-tagged coach attendance, equipment rental, and fees per season — all in one dashboard.

The setup, sport by sport

From institute type to one combined reports view

Nine real steps — exactly what a multi-sport academy owner configures in TuitionDesk to run batches, turfs, coaches, and fees in one place.

Org setup

Set the institute type to Sports Academy

The owner picks Sports Academy as the institute type when creating the organisation. That one setting adapts terminology across the app — for example Student, Topics, and Assessment wording — to fit a coaching academy rather than a classroom.

Batches

Create a batch for each sport and age group

Separate batches are created per sport and age group — for example Football U-10, Cricket U-14, and Swimming Juniors — so each batch has its own schedule, coach assignment, fee plan, and attendance record.

Venues

Book a turf, court, or pool as a Venue for every session

Every coaching session is assigned a Venue — a turf, court, pool, room, or other facility — on the schedule. Because the venue is booked on the session, TuitionDesk won't let two coaches double-book the same turf, court, or pool at the same time.

Attendance

Geo-tagged attendance check-in for coaches

Coaches check in and check out from their phone at the start and end of each session, and TuitionDesk captures the check-in and check-out location, giving the owner a record of where and when each session actually ran.

Equipment

Rent out equipment — bibs, balls, and gear — to members or walk-in bookers

Equipment such as bibs, balls, and other gear is set up for rental with date-range bookings. Both enrolled members and walk-in public bookers can reserve equipment through the booking flow, without double-booking the same item.

Fees

Collect fees or EMI per season or term

Fee plans — including EMI or installment plans — are set up per season or term for each batch, so a football season and a swimming term can run on different billing cycles under the same organisation.

Parents

Parent portal shows attendance and fee status

Parents log into the parent portal to see their child's attendance and fee status for every batch the child is enrolled in, with push, WhatsApp, and email notifications for session reminders and fee dues.

Public site

A free public academy site for browsing batches and booking a trial

The academy's free public website lists every batch, with an enquiry form and demo or trial session booking, plus public venue and equipment booking — so a parent can browse batches and book a trial session before ever contacting the academy directly.

Reports

One reports view across every sport and age group

Reports roll up attendance and revenue across every sport and age-group batch together, so an academy running football, cricket, and swimming side by side still sees its whole business in one dashboard.

FAQ

Questions about running a sports academy on TuitionDesk

Does TuitionDesk have a dedicated institute type for sports academies?

Yes. Sports Academy is one of the institute types available at setup, alongside types like Dance Academy, Music Academy, and Martial Arts Academy — picking it adapts terminology across the app.

How does TuitionDesk stop two coaches from booking the same turf or court?

Each session can be assigned a Venue — a court, room, studio, turf, or other facility — and TuitionDesk prevents another session from being scheduled in that same venue at the same time.

Can parents or walk-in visitors rent sports equipment online?

Yes. Equipment such as bibs, balls, and other gear supports date-range bookings through Equipment and Equipment Booking, available to enrolled members and walk-in public bookers through the academy's public site.

Can a sports academy charge fees per season instead of monthly?

Yes. Fee plans, including EMI or installment plans, can be set up per season or term for each batch, so different sports or age groups can run on different billing cycles.

Can parents see which coach their child trained with and whether attendance was marked?

Parents see attendance and fee status for every batch their child is enrolled in through the parent portal, and coaches' geo-tagged check-in and check-out give the owner a record of when and where each session ran.
