BUSINESS TRAINING BUILT FOR GYMS
Four and a Half Days Focused on What Helps a Business Grow
Kids First Sports Center is home to Metzger Business Training and more than two dozen children’s programs and venues. Its mission is to help children grow into happy, healthy, responsible adults.
Small Business Boot Camp grew from founder Jeff Metzger’s experience building Kids First and his desire to share its challenges and successes with industry professionals.
Supporting a wide range of programs takes a team coordinating schedules, enrollment, payments, staff, and family communication. As a longtime Kids First partner, iClassPro helps bring those moving pieces together, giving teams more time to focus on their programs and the kids they serve.

A Partnership That Brings Our Community Together

Through Small Business Boot Camp and Ninja Connect, that partnership creates space for owners and teams to share what they've learned, ask questions, and build connections with peers.
"The event is very inspiring and informative, but most importantly it provides a human connection. It was a way to show our clients we are committed to them and their
success."
- Allison Fenik, iClassPro
Hear It Straight From Kids First
"In 2013 Kids First felt a need to reevaluate its classroom management program. To establish the best provider Company we looked at (1) the parents' user experience; (2) the program's built-in marketing capabilities; (3) the program's ability to enroll online and live; and (4) the program's ability to 'conform' to our long established operating procedures. iClassPro was a 'hands-down' winner in the first three categories. We struggled with number four. That is, we struggled until we concluded that it was Kids First who needed to modernize its procedures! We have now made that change and are very happy to report our front office expenses are down 16% year over year. Thank You iClassPro!"
16% lower front office expenses year over year
