Gymnastics gyms and recreation programs place kids by age and level, bill monthly tuition, fill make-up spots, run waitlists and sell open gym in BackPR.

Common problems:
- **Full classes and a waitlist in a notebook:** Preschool classes fill in a day and the waitlist lives in a notebook. When a spot opens, nobody remembers who asked first.
- **Make-ups take a person at the front desk:** Kids miss class for colds and birthday parties, and every make-up request is matched to an open spot by hand.
- **Gymnasts move up mid-session:** Moving a gymnast to the next level means a new class, a different price and a refund or credit that someone has to work out.

How BackPR handles it:
- **Classes by age and level:** Set age rules and level prerequisites, so families only register for classes their child can join. Placement questions help new families choose.
- **Waitlists that move on their own:** When a class is full, families join its waitlist. When a spot opens, the next family on the list gets an offer automatically.
- **Make-ups and level changes:** Families book make-ups into open spots in classes at the same level. When a gymnast moves up, transfer them to the new class, and any price difference is charged or credited on the family account.
- **Monthly tuition and open gym:** Bill monthly tuition on autopay, with proration for mid-session starts. Sell open gym as drop-ins or punch passes, with a signed waiver on file.

**Can we restrict classes by level?**
Yes. Set level prerequisites so only gymnasts at the right level can register, and add placement questions for new families.

**Can families book their own make-ups?**
Yes. Families pick a make-up from open spots in classes at the same level.

**Can we sell open gym passes?**
Yes. Sell open gym as single drop-ins or punch passes, and require a signed waiver at checkout.

**What happens when a gymnast moves up a level mid-session?**
Move the gymnast to the new class. The price difference stays on the family account as a balance or a credit.
