How does it work for Gymnastics Clubs?
-
When a school signs up for gymnastics, Gymnastics Australia then assigns bookings to clubs.
-
GA find the nearest provider first OR, if the school has had a booking in the past, they assign the previous provider used.
-
Clubs do not need to accept bookings.
-
They can be sent back to GA and then GA will find the next closest provider.
