In this post, we’ll dive into the best ways to simplify attendance tracking, just in time for summer camp season.
Here’s what we’ll be covering:
Activity Messenger is also a Modern Tennis Management Platform for clubs and academies across the US and Canada.
When parents register their children for tennis lessons, our system organizes the registrations into the correct attendance weeks.
With an online attendance tracking system, you can ensure that your rosters are always up to date and that any changes are instantly accessible to your entire staff.
Not all tennis lesson staff should have the same level of access to your students’ and their families’ personal information.
For example, tennis instructors can only see rosters for the students they are teaching that week.

📌 Pro Tip: It’s crucial to limit access so that staff can only view information about the parents and athletes in their specific tennis classes or private lessons. Additionally, you have control over who is authorized to communicate with parents and how they are permitted to do so on behalf of your club.
Design efficient check-in and check-out processes to minimize errors each morning and at the end of the day. Most of the clubs we work with either have an iPad at the front desk or have their tennis instructors track attendance from their smartphones. If a student is incorrectly marked as absent or present, the system allows for quick and easy corrections.
When attendance is checked in, the system automatically timestamps that specific check-in for accurate recordkeeping.
Use time-stamp data to review attendance patterns and identify trends, such as regular absenteeism. This helps you address attendance issues and verify pick-up times to ensure that parents are following your club’s on-time pick-up policy.

📌 Pro Tip: Most of the tennis academies we work with keep detailed records of their students’ attendance. Our system’s “Today” tab simplifies this process by displaying all students who attended classes on a given day, eliminating the need to toggle between multiple lists.
You and your staff can add notes about important events throughout the day. Whether it’s observations, behavioral issues, student achievement, or safety reminders, these notes ensure that both admin staff and instructors are informed. Both can see each other’s notes, so all your classroom information is in one place.
Our system’s flexible grouping feature allows you to easily create and divide attendance lists into groups. You can use groups to separate students for specific activities or to manage different ages or levels. This helps keep your tennis lessons organized and efficient.

📌 Pro Tip: Using notes on the attendance lists to communicate important details to our staff has been a game changer. This ensures effective communication with parents before and after lessons, making sure no information is missed and that staff receive updates promptly.
Our platform enables targeted communication via SMS or email, allowing you to send updates, reminders or address specific concerns.
The use of templates and placeholders ensures that your messages are consistent, professional and personalized. This helps you keep parents engaged and informed about their child’s tennis experience.
The attendance list instantly shows who has completed required waivers and medical forms.
This eliminates manual attendance tracking and endless paperwork. Your instructor will know in seconds from the daily sign-in sheet if any forms are missing. This ensures that daily checks are made and that every student is ready and safe to participate.
This allows you to focus on delivering a memorable tennis experience by making compliance simple and straightforward.

Tennis Class Attendance Tracking is the systematic recording of student attendance to ensure safety, and maintain accurate records for emergency planning and regulatory compliance.
Accurate tracking is essential to keep students safe, ensure all participants are accounted for during lessons, respond effectively to emergencies, and meet regulatory and insurance requirements.
You can track attendance using manual sign-in sheets, roll calls, or digital check-ins with software like Activity Messenger, which streamlines the process and increases accuracy.
