How to Build a Group Program in Operation 36
Once your lesson plan is ready, it’s time to create a group program for students to register for. This guide walks you through each step of the Program Builder—from setup to launch.
1. Create a New Program
Go to Group Programs
Click Build a Program from the dropdown menu
You’ll see four sections to complete: Details, Schedule, Marketing, and Pricing.
2. Add Program Details
Program Name & Subtitle
Give it a clear name that students and families will recognize. Use the subtitle to add class day/time details.
Start & End Dates
Enter the first and last day of class. The schedule you create next will override these if dates differ.
Visibility Settings
Choose Public (recommended), Unlisted, or Private. Public makes registration easier—even for private clubs.
Attach Your Lesson Plan
Use the dropdown to select the plan you built earlier.
Assign Coaches
If you have multiple coaches, assign who is leading which class.
Optional Settings
Class Capacity: Limit the number of registrants
Registration Window: Open/close registration on your timeline
Late Registration: Keep it open for a week or two after start
Manual Enrollment Approval: Required for offline payments
3. Build the Schedule
You have three options:
Add sessions one-by-one
Create a recurring schedule (recommended)
Copy a schedule from another program
To build a recurring schedule:
Set the start date, class time, number of sessions, and days of the week
Click Add Sessions
You can optionally add descriptions for each class using tooltip templates.
Pro Tip: Once you build one detailed schedule, you can copy it to future programs.
4. Customize Your Marketing Page
Add a hero image or video
Use templated descriptions or write your own
Organize your landing page using categories
Add tags so your program shows up in search
5. Set Pricing
Attach the package(s) you created earlier
Create a new one if needed
Keep options limited to avoid overwhelming families
Optional: You can also offer Starter Kits for added value—these are tied to the curriculum and progress.
6. Preview & Publish
Use the Preview tool to see how your program appears on your landing page
When everything looks good, click Publish
Your program is now live and ready for student registrations.
