Introducing Online Availability: Smarter Control Over Class Capacity and Student Progression

Managing class capacity can be one of the biggest operational challenges for sports and activity-based businesses—especially when most of your classes are already full.

The new Online Availability feature in First Class has been designed to help you manage this more effectively by giving you control over how many spots are available online, while reserving space for internal moves.

The Problem

When classes reach high occupancy, it can be difficult to move students into new levels as they progress. Without reserved capacity, progression can stall, and your schedule becomes inflexible.

The Solution

With Online Availability, you can:

  • Define a default online capacity for each class level
  • Limit how many spots appear online while maintaining the true class maximum
  • Reserve capacity for internal moves or student progression
  • Adjust availability for both new and existing classes

This feature also integrates seamlessly with First Class’s Online Moves functionality, ensuring that reserved internal capacity isn’t filled through public online bookings.

The Result

Your business gains more flexibility, better control, and a smoother progression experience for students—all without manual scheduling headaches.
