Martial arts academy belt program signup without clipboard chaos

Martial arts schools often run on a front-desk clipboard and a Facebook page. That works until trial week floods the lobby and nobody knows who paid, who signed the waiver, or which belt program a family meant. Put trial and membership packages on a public Register page parents can finish before they walk in.

Trial + membership without the pile

- Trial class: price (or free), how to book, what to wear - Membership / belt program packages by age or program - Class schedule summary (or link to current schedule you will actually update) - Belt testing fees if separate — listed up front - Uniform / gear requirements and where to buy - Liability waiver and emergency contacts at signup - How families pay **the academy**

Do not make the only path "stop by and talk to whoever is at the desk tonight."

Clipboard chaos has a pattern

Trial kids show up without waivers. Memberships start on handshake math. Belt test week becomes a chase for signatures. A working site does not replace instructors — it stops the front desk from being the only system of record for signup.

CCCM working site

Attendance and rank tracking across instructors may need a staff desk later. Academy OS is talk-first: https://www.getcccm.com/academy-os — no public OS price.

Invented sample (not a client)

"Cedar Grove Martial Arts (invented) offers a 2-class trial package and Kids / Teens / Adults memberships on one Register page with waiver fields and payment to the academy Square." Invented — not a live academy.

Kids vs adults programs

Separate paths. Parents of beginners should not decode an adult competition schedule to find little-dragon class times. Clear age cards beat a dense grid screenshot.

Testing and promotion fees

If belt tests cost extra, say so next to membership — not the week of the test in a group chat. Surprise test fees feel like a bait pattern even when that was never your intent.

Family plans

Sibling and family memberships belong in one paragraph with the real price. Phone-only quotes create unequal treatment and awkward lobby conversations.

Schedule updates

When class times change, update the site the same day you tell the chat. Stale schedules are how new families arrive at an empty mat. The rented working site model exists so you are not teaching every instructor a website editor to fix one time slot.

Intro offers without bait vibes

If you run a limited intro special, put the end date and what converts to full membership on the page. Scarcity tricks that are not true damage martial arts schools as much as surprise test fees. Honest time-bound offers are fine.

Plain next step

If a working public Register site is what you need, start at https://www.getcccm.com/checkout or email hello@getcccm.com with your school or club name, city, and what you run. If you need staff-desk ops instead, use https://www.getcccm.com/academy-os and expect a conversation — not a self-serve price button.
