Attendance Automation – Eliminate Last-Minute Substitute Scrambles
Tired of scrambling through contact lists when athletes cancel 2 hours before practice? Striveon's automated attendance tracking transforms chaotic substitute coordination into hands-free roster management that keeps every training session at optimal capacity.
Configure waitlist criteria once and let automation handle everything: RSVP tracking, automated reminders, and intelligent substitute invitations based on skill level matching—saving hours weekly on coordination tasks while ensuring full attendance at every practice.
From Last-Minute Panic to Automated Substitute Management
Coach Elena manages a competitive padel academy with 4 different skill levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced, and elite) training across 3 courts with overlapping schedules. Previously, when players canceled last-minute, she spent 45+ minutes calling through contact lists, checking skill compatibility for doubles pairings, and often resulting in unbalanced training groups or canceled sessions due to insufficient players.
With Striveon's Attendance Automation, Elena configured her waitlist criteria to prioritize players needing makeup sessions, then skill level matches for optimal doubles partnerships. When cancellations occur, the system automatically identifies and invites appropriate substitutes within minutes, sending them session details and court assignments without any manual intervention.
Result: Elena eliminated 90% of coordination time while maintaining optimal 4-player training groups across all skill levels. Her sessions run at 95% capacity consistently, and substitute players feel valued through systematic inclusion rather than last-minute desperation calls.
