The Kyokushin punisher Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 Does anyone keep a list of who or who does not show up for a session? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zorbasan Posted August 21, 2006 Share Posted August 21, 2006 most places would have atleast a book something similar to the old roll book at school. my club now uses a software package to maintain this kind of info Now you use head for something other than target.

Jiffy Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 This is essential when running a club. Besides being able to track trends in student attendance (or lack there of), it's essential incase you get taken to court for a liability claim!!

When the students come in, we scan their membership card. I can then automatically, who's training when, see what classes are popular etc and it can also assist with lesson planning.

Akaratechick Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We haven't before but have always had problems with retention. We just added that you have to attend 15% of classes in order to test for the next level, that is not the only requirement but if they are ready but have missed too many classes due to unexplained reasons, no test. We are now keeping roll as well. "All your life you are told the things you cannot do.

AngelaG Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We have a weekly register, with all the students names on, and I tick them off once the lesson starts. I do it myself because a) students forget and b) it prevents friends ticking off their mates to make it seem like they've done more lessons.I keep all copies of my attendance sheets, both in electronic form and paper form. That way there can be no arguments about how many lessons have been attended, and also in the unusual situation that someone gives karate class as an alibi I can check whether they were actually there or not.

Shui Tora Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 We use a register, and our Sensei uploads the data onto our accounts (all very high tech.) so we can see what days we were in etc... Sensei keeps and electronic copy as well as a paper copy...Very simple...

Sensei Rick Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I have a great system of checkig in with envelopes and a sign in sheet. Both serve as a double check against each other. I also have my secretary give me a head count midway thru class to make sure everyone is paying and everyone is getting credit for their training. place clever martial arts phrase here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushido_man96 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 At our school, we have a member card that is scanned when the students come in. The computer logs the attendance for us. https://www.haysgym.comhttp://www.sunyis.com/https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkerlineage Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 We actually just got this new-fangled computer card-scanning system that tallies how frequently your students come, and when. It's totally rad. American Kenpo Karate- First Degree Black Belt"He who hesitates, meditates in a horizontal position."Ed Parker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
