It takes a few minutes to add a class. After that, the only thing anyone does is mark a session, and that takes under five seconds.
1
Add your class and rates
Coaches add a class, the kids in it, and each kid's rate plan: per session, a package of lessons, or a monthly flat fee.
2
Invite the family or the coach
Send one invite link per family. Parents can start too: add a class for a coach who is not on Sesslynx yet, and they can claim it later. Parents can invite a co-parent.
3
Mark in a tap. The other side confirms.
Either side marks attendance in under five seconds. The other side gets a notice and can confirm or dispute. No reply in 48 hours means confirmed.
4
Balances and statements take care of themselves
Every mark updates a live shared balance. At the end of the month, both sides get the same statement. In between, each class has its own chat.

Monthly statement
The session appears on both statements
Stated
If the parent does nothing, the mark auto-confirms after 48 hours. If they dispute it, the charge stays pending until you agree.
Agreeing on it
Three ways a mark ends.
Confirmed, settled after something's off, or auto-confirmed after 48 hours of silence. Nothing is left open.
Step 1 · after class
Coach or parent marks the session
One tap, or swipe the ticket. Present, no-show, absent with notice, late cancel, coach cancelled or makeup.
Marked · waiting
Step 2 · the other side
Gets a notice to confirm
In the app, by push and by email. Until they answer, the charge shows as pending on both sides.
Please confirm

Confirmed
It goes on the ledger and the balance updates for both sides.
Something's off
Disputed
Pick what actually happened and add a short note. The charge stays pending until you both agree.
No reply in 48 hours
Auto-confirmed
Silence counts as agreement, so nothing sits open forever.
A session is marked by either side, the other side is asked to confirm, and it then either goes on the ledger, stays pending while you settle a disagreement, or auto-confirms after 48 hours.

Talk in the class chat.
Every class gets its own chat automatically, with exactly the right people in it. When a family joins the class they join the chat; when they leave, they leave it.
Private class · one kid
The coach and the kid's parent. A co-parent joins automatically.
Group class · every family
The coach and the parents of every kid in the class. You see your own kid's name; other families' kids stay private.
Coach starts
A guided setup walks you through your details, cancellation rules, rate plans, classes and families. Send each family an invite link. They join free and see their own kid's sessions, balance and class chat, and can invite their co-parent.
Parent starts
Add a class for a coach who is not on Sesslynx yet and track it yourself. Invite the coach. When they join, they claim the class and the history merges.
Put every session on the same page.
Coaches start free with up to 5 kids. Parents linked to a coach on Sesslynx are always free.
