The academy year

Four moments decide your year. The playbooks win all four.

Measured by the only things that matter to an academy owner: trials that enrol, families that re-enrol, camps that sell out, and a waitlist that fills next term before it opens.

The parent journey

Five steps from a worried parent to a family that stays. Three of them leak.

This is the path every one of your families walks. Most owners have never drawn it, so they post more, discount the trial, and wonder why the groups empty out every January.

1

Hear about you

A parent asks the school WhatsApp group where to take their four-year-old. Someone mentions you. Or does not.

LeakYou have no system for being the name that gets mentioned. Referrals happen by luck, not by design.
Fixed by Vol. 01
2

Book a trial

They find your page, message you, and book a free trial for Saturday.

3

The trial

The child has a great time. The coach is lovely. The parent watches from the side.

LeakNobody speaks to the parent before, during or after. No next step, no place held, no follow-up. Six in ten never enrol.
Fixed by Vol. 02
4

The term

They enrol. Twelve weeks of lessons. The child progresses. The parent pays monthly.

5

Re-enrolment

Term ends. A generic email says places for next term are open.

LeakA third of families drift away. Not unhappy, just not asked properly, at the right time, with their place already held.
Fixed by Vol. 03

Every leak on this path is one playbook away from fixed.

How it works

Four levels. One playbook each. Set up between terms.

No agency retainer, no booking-software upsell, no six-week course. Pick the level where your families are leaking, install the playbook over a quiet week, and run next term on the new system.

L1Level
Attract Vol. 01

Become the name parents mention

The parent pipeline built on trust, not ads: the school and nursery partnerships, the referral routine that makes families bring families, the local presence and the content that shows parents exactly what their child will get.

OutcomeA steady flow of trial bookings from parents who already trust you
L2Level
Convert Vol. 02

Turn the free trial into an enrolment

The trial experience, scripted for the parent, not just the child: the pre-trial call, the poolside or pitchside conversation, the held place, and the follow-up that closes within 48 hours without a discount.

OutcomeTrial-to-enrolment conversion from 40 percent to 70 percent and beyond
L3Level
Keep Vol. 03

Keep families term after term

The retention system that catches drop-off before it happens: progress reports parents actually read, the mid-term check-in, the level-up moment, and the re-enrolment window that fills next term before it opens.

OutcomeTerm-to-term re-enrolment above 90 percent
L4Level
Grow Vol. 04

Sell out camps and extras

The second revenue layer: holiday camps, intensives, private lessons, birthday parties and siblings, sold to the families you already have, with the calendar, pricing and launch sequence that fills them in days.

OutcomeA camp and extras line worth 25 to 40 percent of term revenue
Owner report cards

Owners who stopped chasing parents and filled every group.

Field reports from swim schools, football academies and dance and gymnastics schools running the playbooks across the US, UK and Europe. Numbers as reported by the owner.

Blue Lane Swim School

Trial to enrolment 38% → 74%
Re-enrolment 64% → 92%

We were losing a third of families every January and calling it normal. The trial follow-up and the re-enrolment window filled term two before the holidays, with a waitlist.

Extras revenue 0 → +28%

The progress reports changed how parents see us. They stopped asking if it was worth it and started asking about private lessons and the summer intensive.

Eligibility check

Built for owners who still coach on Saturdays. Not for everyone.

We would rather lose a sale than send a playbook to someone who will never open it between terms. Tick both columns honestly before checkout.

Enrolment form / owner Tick all that apply

Section A

✓This is for you if

✓You run a swim school, sports academy, dance, gymnastics or martial-arts school for children, with 50 to 800 students across one to three sites.
✓You are excellent with kids, but talking to parents about enrolment, re-enrolment and money is the part you avoid.
✓You lose a quarter or more of your families every term end and have accepted it as normal.
✓You want ready-to-use parent messages, trial scripts, progress report templates and camp launch sequences, not a theory course.
✓You are ready to set a system up once, between terms, and run every intake on it from then on.

Section B

✕This is not for you if

✕You want a booking app to fill the groups for you so you never have to talk to a parent.
✕You are going to buy the playbook and leave it unopened in your downloads folder.
✕You believe the free trial plus a discount is the only way to enrol a family, and you are not willing to change how you run it.
✕You run a national franchise or a leisure-centre chain with an in-house marketing team.
Questions

What owners ask us. And what parents ask you.

Nothing hidden, no fine print. If your question is not below, the team replies within one business day.

Still deciding

Tell us where your families are leaking. We will point you to the right level.

Email us →
Owners ask What exactly do I get when I buy a playbook?

An instant digital download: the full step-by-step guide as a PDF, plus every parent message, trial script, progress report template, re-enrolment sequence and camp launch email referenced inside it. Yours to keep and reuse every term.

Owners ask Does this work for my kind of academy?

The playbooks are built for swim schools, football, rugby and tennis academies, gymnastics, dance, cheer and martial-arts schools for children, from 50 to 800 students, one to three sites, whether you own the venue or hire a pool or hall by the hour.

Parents ask Why should I pay when the trial was free?

This is the question Vol. 02 answers for you. The trial is scripted so the parent sees progress, a plan and a held place, and the enrolment conversation happens before they leave, not in a discount email three days later.

Owners ask I already use booking software. Do I need this?

Yes, and the two work together. Software takes the payment and sends the reminder. The playbooks decide what the parent hears before the trial, what happens at the poolside, when the re-enrolment window opens and how the camp gets sold. No software does that for you.

Parents ask Is my child actually improving?

The question behind every drop-off. Vol. 03 gives you the progress report format, the level-up moment and the mid-term check-in that make progress visible to the parent, so re-enrolment becomes the obvious next step instead of a decision.

Owners ask How fast will I see results?

Most owners install the trial conversion system in a week and see the next intake convert higher. Retention shows at the next term end. Camps and extras show the first time you run the launch sequence to existing families.

Owners ask How do I access my purchase, and what is the refund policy?

You receive a download link by email immediately after checkout, and it is also saved to your account. Because these are instant digital products, please review the description before buying. Full terms are in our refund policy.

Your move

Next term starts with one playbook.

Stop discounting the trial and hoping families come back in January. Pick the level where your groups are leaking, and run the next intake on a system built to enrol.
