Most gymnastics clubs still rely on WhatsApp groups, email chains and paper forms to communicate with parents. Apps By Angela replaces all of that with a single, beautifully designed parent app — fully branded to your club — that gives parents instant access to everything they need.
From viewing class timetables and tracking their child's skill progress, to receiving push notifications about competitions, receiving gymnast of the week awards and ordering club merchandise — parents have it all in one place. And because it lives on the App Store and Google Play under your club's name, it feels like a professional, premium experience every time they open it.
Apps By Angela's parent app works for gymnastics clubs, dance schools, cheerleading clubs, martial arts clubs and any other activity organisation across the UK. Here's everything parents can do.
What parents can do
Parents can view all class times, locations and schedules directly in the app. No more texting the club to ask when a class is — it's always up to date and always in their pocket.
Parents can request a space in a class directly from the app. If a class is full, they can join the waiting list with one tap. When a space becomes available, they receive an instant push notification and can accept or decline right from their home screen — no phone calls needed.
Parents can see exactly which skills their child has completed, with coach notes attached. Skill cards are created by coaches and updated in real time — parents feel connected to their child's progress without needing to wait for parents' evenings or email updates.
Gymnast of the Day, Week, Month and competition success notifications go out automatically to all parents. These recognition moments are a huge motivator for young gymnasts and make parents feel proud and engaged with the club.
Parents receive push notifications for everything — class cancellations, competition invitations, fee reminders, club news and more. They can also view their full notification history in the app so they never miss an important message, even if they dismiss it at the time.
The club calendar keeps parents informed about all upcoming events — competitions, display days, socials, club closures and more. Parents can view the full calendar and see at a glance what's coming up for their child's class or the whole club.
Parents can view all upcoming competitions, see where they are being held, check whether their child has been entered and confirm whether competition fees have been paid — all from one screen. No more chasing the club to find out if their child is competing.
Parents can book private lessons directly through the app and pay by card, cash or bank transfer. The booking system is seamlessly integrated so coaches and administrators can see all bookings in the admin panel without any manual work.
Parents can view all club fees, registration fees and insurance fees inside the app. They can also see their own payment history so they always know what's been paid and what's outstanding — reducing disputes and saving the club admin time chasing unpaid fees.
Club bank transfer details are stored in the app so parents always have them available. No more parents messaging the club asking for account details — it's right there every time they need it.
Parents can view and update their own profile and their child's profile directly in the app. They can keep contact details up to date, view their gymnast's skill cards and check payment history — all in one place, always accurate.
Parents can view all club staff members, their roles, information and contact details where applicable. Safeguarding and child protection officers can be listed so parents always know who to contact — building trust and transparency within the club.
Parents have access to a full club contact page with all locations, phone numbers, email addresses and social media links. Whether they need to get in touch or find a venue, all the information they need is right there in the app.
Send club newsletters directly through the app. Parents can view all newsletters in their notification history, meaning important updates are never lost in a busy email inbox. It's a much more effective way to keep your club community informed and engaged.
Parents can browse club merchandise, place orders and pay directly through the app. They can track the status of their order and receive a push notification when it's ready for collection. It's a professional, seamless experience that also helps the club generate additional revenue without any extra admin work.
Parents don't download a third-party portal. They download your club's app — with your name, your logo, your colours — from the App Store and Google Play.
Why parents love it
Club administrators spend hours every week answering the same questions from parents — when is class, has my payment gone through, what's the competition address, can I book a private lesson? Apps By Angela eliminates all of that by putting the answers directly in parents' hands.
The result is a club that runs more smoothly, parents who feel more connected, and an admin team that can focus on running a great club instead of answering messages.
