Step 1: Determine the requirements for your gymnastics form

The first step in creating your gymnastics class registration form is to identify the critical information needed from students or their parents. Improving the user experience depends on several important factors:

  • The primary purpose of the registration form.
  • The specific questions that need to be answered by gymnasts and families
  • The inclusion of a digital waiver and signature.
  • Any additional unique information relevant to your club.
  • The need for a bilingual form depending on your location

Standard registration forms typically include sections for the gymnast’s name, email address, phone number, home address, emergency contact information, terms and conditions, digital signature, medical history, and choices for selecting class schedules and sessions.

Step 2: Find a form-building tool for Gymnastics Club

Before you begin designing your gymnastics registration form, it is important to choose a form-building platform that meets your club’s needs. While building your form with HTML and CSS is an option, keep in mind that this method requires more time and a higher level of technical skill.

For health club owners with busy schedules, a no-code form builder is the perfect choice. Simply drag and drop the various components to assemble your form. Popular options include Google Forms, JotForm, Microsoft Forms, and Activity Messenger.

Step 4: Add a class to your gymnastics registration form

Your gymnastics registration form should allow gymnastics students to select a specific class, activity, or event.

Here’s how to add a gymnastics class to your registration form:

  • Click the Class field and choose Create.
  • Enter details about the class, including its name, price, maximum capacity, location, schedule, and registration period.

Step 5. Add a Digital Signature to Your Gymnastics Registration Form

Incorporating a digitally signed waiver into your gymnastics registration form is essential for maintaining legal compliance and ensuring safety. Activity Messenger makes this task easy.

Start by adding a waiver section to your form that explicitly details the terms and conditions associated to participating in a gymnastics class. This can include issues such as acknowledgement of risk, club policies, and health and safety measures.

Next, include a digital signature field. This functionality allows parents or adult students to legally sign the form electronically, indicating that they understand and agree to the terms of the waiver.

Step 6: Customize the confirmation email (after registration to gymnastics program)

When a user fills out a class registration form for one of your classes, Activity Messenger immediately sends a confirmation email. It’s important that this email includes the invoice and any pertinent information the registrant should know about the class or event.

You have the ability to customize the message for each registration form, so registrants know exactly what to expect next.

Leverage our Canva integration to create branded confirmation emails and use Mailmerge to personalize those emails, fostering a sense of connection with students even before their first class begins.
